Way better than I could have expected - David "Fish" was excellent! He did a great job making the tour feel personal by remembering our names and where we came from. He is well-traveled so he was able to relate some stories to our home towns. He knew things that weren't technically part of the tour and went above and beyond afterwards making sure we knew how to get to our next destinations. I would recommend this tour to anyone who can handle a 2 hour walk! (although a lot of it is just standing still, which makes it a bit easier on some) and I'd be willing to do it all over again to take my family who wasn't with me this time. I learned so many new things that even local Victorians didn't know!

A tour worth taking! - Our guide Fish was knowledgeable, engaging, caring, and made the walk a lot of fun! I did not bring a jacket with me and Fish even let me use his jacket when I was cold. He also offered to stay after to help anyone if they wanted recommendations or even help with any other types of bookings we might need. Terrific service, Fish! We learned a lot about Victoria and saw lots of beautiful, historic, and interesting spots. Booking was easy and fast. Highly recommend for both locals and visitors.
