Today I did the free walking tour with Hugo and it was amazing! He has very nice and he took as to very interesting places in Melbourne. He knew a lot of the city and he was keen to help you and answer questions. Definitely 5 stars for him, I had a great afternoon. 🤗🤗

We did the tour the 13th with KYLIE and it was amazing. We were only going to be in Melbourne for three days and it is an incredible idea to know a little bit of history and make the first contact with a city. It took 3 hours but it seemed less. Highly recomendable.

laurafmartins

This walking tour was one of highlights of my four days down in Melbourne. Kellie is a brilliant guide and just a really cool chick. Highly recommend! Please note that although this is advertised as a Free activity, guides do expect you to pay at the end (whatever you think it was worth it) and you definitely should.

We saw some posters of this tour at our hostel and went on this Free tour which starts at 11am and 3pm at Gordon Reserve. Our guide was John America. Easy to listen to, very enthousiastic. Clearly has a lot of guiding experience. Thanks for the tour mate.

Did the Melbourne City Tour (excl the Eureka Skydeck but that was not an option in the dropdown). Thoroughly enjoyed the walk with Andy who shared interesting stories and facts on Melbourne, its history, people, street art and buildings. Saw a lot of the city in this tour that took 2,5 hours at a leisurely pace. If you want to see past the buildings and hear about the early settlers up until more recent developments I can definitely recommend this walk.

<p>John was a fantastic tour guide. He took into consideration what we were interested in. He clearly knows his way around the city and made excellent recommendations for where to eat and what to do. The tour at the start of our stay is really enhancing our time here in Melbourne!</p>

I treated my parents to the "Welcome/Skydeck tour" as part of their first visit to Melbourne. It was an excellent way to see some of the iconic features of the city (coffee, chinatown, street art, etc.), get some exercise, and meet interesting travellers. Our tour guide was Becca and she was fantastic! Very knowledgable of the history of the area and current things to do around town. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to see and learn more about Melbourne.

Paul K

<p>Great walking tour around Melbourne. Very personable and knowledgeable guide with great tips for further exploring and eating. Set us up for a fantastic stay in Melbourne.</p>
