Fascinating hidden Victoria - Had a great time on this tour. There were only 5 of us including the guide so it helped keep things informal. Our guide David, was knowledgeable and entertaining with some great stories (were they really all true?) and gave us a feel for Victoria's quirky and at times poignant history. He also gave us some handy restaurant recommendations. It is a walking tour lasting 2 hours so wear comfortable shoes and bring some water with you. Recommended? Yes!

Our “mate” Jack! - Jack was our guide! He was very informative, thorough and fun. He was conscious of allowing time for pictures and answering questions(and rest room / coffee stops)! Very enjoyable! He also gave great suggestions for areas and specific restaurants/cuisine! Highly recommend!

Experience Victoria the right way! - Really great tour, I felt as part of the experience rather than just being guided around. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and somehow included our interests into the tour. At the end of it I felt like me and my partner had made friends with the rest of the group

Highly Recommended - Sarah was an entertaining and extremely knowledgeable tour guide introducing us to the well and not so well known parts of Historical Victoria. She also provided a lot of tips about how to make the most of our visit to the city. We really appreciated her Welcome text message about an hour before the walk was due to start and how accommodating Sarah was to my husband whose back was playing up that day.

Too short and too few sights - The tour was advertised as 2 hours but the guide finished it 40 minutes early. And we had walked v-e-r-y slowly. While he was a nice guy/guide, we did not feel we got our money's worth. I would not recommend this tour.
