Traveler reviews
Experience true Melbourne
Great tour, Emily our guide was superb & we learned so much about Melbourne we want to return already! The art in the lanewaays was stunning & without the tour we’d have passed it by. Beautiful city with plenty to do & wonderful coffee
A tour that is a must to do if visiting Melbourne
Beau did an amazing job presenting the history, laneways and culture of Melbourne. His presentation was clear, concise and very informative. I really came away with a far deeper understanding of Melbourne. As a serious photography hobbyist, Beau’s organization of the sites that we visited presented me with the opportunity to capture some amazing images. Thank you Beau for guiding this tour. I heartedly recommend this tour for anybody planning to visit Melbourne.
Fun walk with Scott in Melbourne
We had a wonderful tour with our guide, Scott, and six other people. Scott has a great sense of humor and told us stories of the history, famous places and people of Melbourne and Australia. We ended the tour at Captain Melvin's, a pub/restaurant, for lunch. Scott treated to our first drink. Captain Melvin's has a "tourist lunch" sampler platter of kangaroo, emu and wild boar that several people tired and they shared a bite with the rest of us so we could say we tried them. The walk was easy, the pace relaxing, and Scott pointed out interesting places, like a secret speakeasy down one of the lanes. At the end of the tour Scott gave us a map that showed the places we had seen as well as other suggestions of things we might like to do and see.
Walking tour of Melbourne
Meeting place was very easy to find. As it turned out only 3 of us were on this tour, the tour guide Emily making it 4. It therefore felt a very personal tour of the city. I doubt I would have seen half the amount had I done a tour myself. Was never expecting to see Ned Kelly's suit of armer for example, that was really unexpected. And Emily's knowledge of the local history was great, I learnt lots. I didn't know for example that Australia was the first country to introduce full voting rights for all men, regardless of whether they owned property. A fact I learnt on this tour. It was great that the tour ended at a bar restaurant, especially one which gave us the opportunity to try out some uniquely Australian food, Kangeroo Pie and Emu are not something you would normally find on the average menu. Anyway I would definately recommend this tour.
Fabulous “Melbin”
