What a fantastic experience! While there should not have been an issue with finding the starting point, Ben came to where we were to start the tour. It was a tour later in the day (5:30) which means some ( just a few) places to see were closed. However, Ben provided as much information as possible about everything around, with great insight and a bit of humor. He even got us to engage with the city in an interesting way. We saw a lot, learned a lot, and highly recommend the experience at the start of your time in Melbourne as it can inform what you do and where you go while there. Thanks Ben!
