Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Julie knows so much about Melbourne and was a wonderful guide. She took us to great spots. The Victoria Market was amazing. She was super helpful working around my gluten allergy and still providing excellent food options. "
"Julie was a great guide. She showed us the highlights of the center city in Melbourne. She knew the history of the city and ensured we got to see the highlights in our time with her. Thanks for a great tour!! "
"We met Jie at a lunch cal eatery. She took us to many local places. We had a wonderful time learning about the culture in Australia. She took us to some interesting pubs. One of which we had dinner at. Young & Jackson. The food was amazing. Highly recommend this place for dinner. We loved Bellinis as well. "
"Thank you very much for showing us insides life of Melbourne and taking care of my family. Sophie is a very nice guide! I highly recommend anyone to join her tour! :) "
"We booked the tour to experience Melbourne like a local would do and that‘s what we got. We had a fun and entertaining time with Andrew, who made us laugh all the time. Even after just two hours, we felt like we‘ve known him for a long time. His tour made us definitely want to come back to Melbourne and not just get a glimpse like we did due to our short stopover. We‘d definitely recommend Andrew if you want to have a local and passionate view of Melbourne‘s neighbourhoods and are not interested that much in the city’s history. "
"Julie came very well prepared to show us Melbourne in one half day tour. She had a good assortment of Melbourne culture, history, and food braided in her tour. We had a very rounded tour hitting most of the important Melbourne recommended places to visit. "
"We enjoined our tour with Julie. She guided us to a great cross section of places covering arts, entertainment, eating establishments and outdoor places for relaxation and enjoyment. Loved our final stop at the amazing State Library. She is very knowledgeable about the city’s history - past and present - what to do, where to go and how to get there. "
"Julie was amazing with my family from Italy - developed rapport immediately and tailored the tour to our needs ( 3 people in their 60s and one 23 year old ) saw so many interesting things and Julie provided detailed information on so mdny sights that I had no idea of ( and I’m a melbournian ) great morning and well worth the $ "
"Julie is amazing! First we were able to book last minute and she is a great communicator. Then she met us on time and we walked around Melbourne enjoying all kinds of food. When we passed a beautiful old tea shop she changed our tour to be able to have tea and scones. What a great conversation we had with Julie, sharing travel stories. Great time!!!"
