A must do in Melbourne - Alex was a phenomenal guide. I would recommend this tour for everyone staying in Melbourne. He’s very knowledgable about the area, was really good with our kids and took the time to answer all of our questions. It gave us a good lay of the land and showed us hidden treasures. Alex took the time to leave us with a list of things we saw and recommendations for the rest of our visit.

Alex was very thorough... - Alex was very personable. He took my wife and I on a wonderful walking experience throughout the city. He provided a number of additional activities and food recommendations to further enhance our time in Melbourne. I would definitely recommend taking this tour.

A Great Introduction to Melbourne! - This walking tour was a fantastic way to explore some of Melbourne’s key sights while learning a bit more about the city and Victoria’s history. It offered a fabulous mix of old and new, with stops through historic arcades and the infamous laneways that give Melbourne so much character. The guide (Beau) sprinkled in a good dose of Aussie humour, which made it all the more enjoyable. It’s also a great way to get your bearings around the CBD – perfect for first-timers or anyone wanting to get a feel for the city’s unique vibe.

Melbourne meandering... - Alex showed us a great sampling of Melbourne; from a review of Melbourne's history to major landmarks to local art scenes and speakesies. We had plenty of time for questions, and had snack and bathroom stops as well. The pace was comfortable. This was a fantastic way to learn more about the city!

Essential Tour - A wonderful, three hour tour where our personable guide Beau did an amazing job encapsulating the history and culture of Melbourne. It was our last day in Australia and because we are so far from the United States we thought it might be our only trip but after experiencing the Melbourne vibes from this tour, we swore that we would be back again. Thanks Beau for an amazing time.

Walking Tour - Information from the guide was good, however looking at the itinerary four stops were missed off, also we were the only ones on the tour and it would have been nice to have been informed of this prior to it, maybe have female tour guides?

Mixed - It was a good overview of Melbourne and therefore, a good starting point for a long weekend in Melbourne. The guide took us to places I wouldn't have ordinarily visited, and he had a knack for storytelling. At times, the guide expressed his strong political views about Australia Day and other similar issues without having regard for the complexity of the issues. The guide kept asking me quiz-like questions during the walk because I was the only Australian in the group. This made it difficult to relax and enjoy the tour.
