Badass Women Of Melbourne
I knew that it was going to be a great tour, but it was so much more. Our guide, Nicki made us feel welcome. She was informative, interesting and engaging. She even hung back after the tour to allow us to badger her with more questions. I would definitely recommend, and look forward to trying out the other tours
A must do!
We learnt so much on our tour. Catherine was an incredible guide, so passionate about sharing the stories of the women who have shaped the city of Melbourne and beyond. This is such an important tour, and it should be high on your list of things to do while you're in the city. The tour will get you thinking about all the stories you think you know... was there a woman behind it that we aren't reading about?
Disappointing
I love walking tours and both history and the plight of women are dear to my heart, so I was really looking forward to this experience on Saturday 23 May. Unfortunately though, I found it disappointing. Our guide was friendly but not particularly engaging. Although our tour lasted over two hours and covered quite a bit of ground around Melbourne, the actual stops felt quite brief, and the information provided did not always feel well researched or delivered in a particularly compelling way. Additionally, several women on the tour (not me!) appeared to have impressive knowledge of Melbourne and its history, but this did not seem to be drawn out or valued. There were also a couple of claims made that seemed overstated or difficult to believe, and clearer historical context and sourcing would have been helpful. The tour also sometimes moved into broader ideological commentary, which felt like a digression from the stated focus of the tour. Overall, I had hoped for a richer and more engaging exploration of historical women connected with Melbourne and felt that the tour didn’t really do the subject matter justice.

Great walk around Melbourne, the guides Sita and Bec were excellent, at each stop we were entertained by commentary that was fun and informative. We recommend the Badass Women tour. We look forward to participating on more tours. Thank you Sita and Bec.
Wonderful
Great walking tour of Melbourne! Our guide...Katherine....was knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend this tour to anyone who would like to find out more about amazing women.
