The private guide was not prepared for St. Patrick's day and other turbulent events that half of the city was closed that day.

Marty was our tour guide and he was absolutely amazing. He designed the trip “on the fly” to meet our needs. Additionally, I am a disabled traveler and Marty took extremely good care of me. EXTREMELY good care of me. We had the most incredible time at Victoria market. Drop dead awesome! We had a wonderful time visiting the graffiti alleys and botanical gardens. Marty is a “stop and smell the roses” kinda of guy so we had lovely stops for coffee as well as ice cream. He was soooo knowledgeable about the city, its buildings and history. I give my unqualified recommendation regarding Marty as well as the company. This is definitely a must do!

We had a private tour with Marty - who was excellent. Marty made several great suggestions and then let us choose where to go and how long we wanted to spend at each place. Marty was very knowledgeable about Melbourne and its culture and history. He was also lots of fun with a great, friendly personality. It felt like we were touring with a friend.

We had an amazing time touring the city of Melbourne with James. The tour typically starts with a stop at a coffee shop. We do not drink coffee so we had to immediately divert from the original plan. James easily adjusted and as we all got to know each other he adapted the itinerary to suit our interests. We went on this tour our first day in Melbourne and he was able to give us ideas on what to do and see during our free time for the remainder of our stay. He was extremely knowledgeable of all things Melbourne. I was initially very hesitant about going on a private tour but he made us feel like we were visiting the city with a good friend. I don't think I will be able to do a group tour again! Thank you James for an amazing day!

As advertised we had three Melbourne days with a guide who is professional and connected. In addition Sam T was sensitive to our preferences and pace. We did the city tour with food and street art, the boroughs, the Mornington Peninsula with animal sanctuary and the little penguins. It is great to get educated about history and current life, but even better to tour with a guide who is fun.

Anna Havers was our expert guide during our Melbourne stay. She went out of her way to personalize the tour to our interests. Showed us the hidden beauties of this vibrant city, and made us sample gourmet delicacies. Anna made our visit exceptionally memorable!

Our 5 hour tour with Dean was, without question, the highlight of our 3 days in Melbourne and one of the overall highlights of our family’s trip to Australia. He was simply OUTSTANDING! Our kids - 20 and 17 - hate tours and usually grouse or secretly mock the guide throughout. That definitely wasn’t the case with Dean - our 20 year old still raves about him and just asked him for tour recommendations in Prague. Dean didn’t just know Melbourne - he knew EVERYONE in Melbourne. Want to see street artists in their studio - Dean’s got you covered. Dying to have the best croissant in town that isn’t on every tourist’s list - Dean again. It was truly an iconic experience!

Aaron was a sensational tour guide. Gave us an intimate look at the city and experiences which were tailored to our interests. Willing to go off the beaten path and also give us a great sense of the city as a whole. Great energy, knowledge, and fun. Highest recommendation!

Aaron was an excellent guide. We learned a lot about both indigenous and modern art in Melbourne. The previous few days we walked all over getting familiar with the Central Business District, but did not fully appreciate what we were seeing. Aaron’s guidance completed our appreciation of Melbourne.

Absolutely delightful. Abi was informative and fun. She kept us moving at a good pace and we had choices of areas we most wanted to visit.
