    A fantastic tour with a fun, knowledgeable tour guide. Not only did I love hearing about the characters of early 1900's gangsters, but I also loved hearing about Michael's research. As a researcher myself, hearing him talk about the processes he goes through was really interesting. I found the walk easy to do, as someone with dodgy knees and bad hearing, I wondered whether I would be able to keep up with everything, but it was great. Michael did a great job of making everyone feel included. Thoroughly recommend this tour, and I will be booking into another one soon.

    Our business had an activity day as a reward for a years hard work and included a private tour from Michael. It's always hard to to cater for a wide range of ages, individuals preferences, physical abilities and interests - but this tour was brilliant. Michael knows his stuff and weaves it into a compelling and engaging commentary. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the tour and I couldn't recommend it, and Michael, highly enough. I plan to bring family and friends back.

    Well paced tour, inredibly well researched and spoken by Michael Shelford. Can't wait to read his books. Who new "Little Lon" existed. We have lived in Melbourne for 22 years now, and it was lovely to hear about the history of this great city.
