    Excellent commentary by Dave. Damien was also a big help. The tour went by quickly and all the sites we saw were relevant. I enjoyed it greatly. The bus was very comfortable even for a big guy like me. It was raining the entire time, it did not put a damper on our spirits.

    Thoroughly enjoyed my half day tour of Melbourne. Such a beautiful city with so much to see. Loved the views from the War Memorial and the botanical gardens. Our tour guide Mel was phenomenal!! Great sense of humor and she loved my attempt at a Melbourne accent - lol. She provided an excellent overview of some of Melbourne’s highlights. Cheers!!

    As a not native english speaker it was hard to follow. He spoke fast with hundreds of information. We booked a german Tour and had peparred the App. Bill, our guide, seemed to have no idea about how to use it. We had to ask Bill abbout the offered german service and he started to get some information about using the App with the information in german.

    Although I was nervous finding my way to the meetup spot since it wasn’t at/near the cruise ship port, it was a short taxi ride (or probably a 20 minute walk), and was so worth it! Mel was our tour guide and she was knowledgeable, accommodating, and funny. In addition we had Simon with us who was a guide in training so we had double the knowledge. We visited several sites with ample time to enjoy them. Some were traditional tourist sites (the memorial Victoria’s fallen solders, the Olympics sports complex, the beautiful cathedral with the massive pipe organ, and Fitzroy Gardens), while others were quirky and fun (the one street in Melbourne where graffiti is allowed, and the site of the old brothel on Madame Brussels Lane). Mel went above and beyond several times. For example, even though food was not included, she made sure we knew which stops had coffee, toilets, or a cafe and the allowed us ample time to see the location and/or eat at our own pace. When we visited the graffiti lane, she actually offered to take pictures of us in front of a section! Meanwhile Simon explained the relevance of the various artworks. We learned a lot about Melbourne, and thanks to Mel and Simon, it was a memorable experience.

    When you get off the bus, you can’t go in and see anything. Too much time on the bus. Nothing is included. You are just driving around the city, and looking out the window. It would be good for people with mobility issues. NOT RECOMMENDED. Can not share any photos, they were all taken thru the window of the bus at different speeds.
