My husband and I joined tour guide Flo for this tour over our anniversary week in Melbourne in July of 2019. Being the only signed up for this particular tour was awesome as Flo was able to take us to locations of interest to us along with the normal stops of the tour. We had a great time talking history as we explored various bars and interesting locations of Melbourne while imbibing a nice variety of local alcohol. Flo also takes the time to follow up with an e-mail filled with further points of interest in Melbourne based on what we talked about. This is a great way to spend an afternoon in Melbourne!
