Very informative walk... - Very informative walk about the CBD visting the key historic and modern parts. Our guide Beau kept it lively and entertaining as well as being adaptive to the needs of the group. Three hours was just about right with a coffee stop and a welcome beer at the end.

A tour with Ian - Our tour guide Ian was fabulous. I know this tour is more expensive than any other walking tour out there. But the time you spend with Ian makes it so well worth it. He is just fabulous and such a wealth of information. He combined history, with politics, with arts, with food, with culture And made it all relevant, fun, interesting and interactive. The group really had a wonderful time connecting because of him.

A great tour experience! - We had a fantastic time on this tour with our guide Beau. He was friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and he communicated brilliantly. The pace of the tour was pretty relaxed so people of all ages could enjoy it without becoming too tired or stressed. We visited some very interesting places around the CBD to get a ‘taste’ of Melbourne culture which just whets the appetite to revisit them at your leisure later on. We also enjoyed a great coffee a funky little cafe and saw some brilliant street art, and we finished off with a tasty cold beer and a charming pub in the city’s centre. This tour was a perfect way to kick off our first visit to Melbourne and we highly recommend it!! Thanks Beau for a great day and your excellent guidance through your amazing city!

Learn a lot, drink a beer, meet Hugo! - We've been to Melbourne before several times and still learned a great deal, which is testament to our guide, Hugo's, knowledge and enthusiasm. We're comfortable walking shoes as it's a moderately long trek, but the pace is very reasonable. Refresh with a delightful coffee or a delicious ginger, beer on the way and you'll enjoy the art in the alleys --and the history.
