Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Being a first time visitor to Australia, I truly enjoyed the private tour of the highlights of Melbourne provided by Ben. My experience with Ben was memorable and really worth it! I really enjoyed the sightseeing and especially the detailed history shares by Ben. He has a really natural and pleasant demeanor -- and I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the 3-hours tour of Melbourne. Thank you, Ben!"
"Ben is extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of Melbourne and Victoria. We also really appreciated hearing how he came to Australia from Iran and sharing views with him on world politics. He's a great guide and a great guy. My one recommendation is to book your tour with him as early as possible in your visit to Melbourne. We left it a couple of days which meant we didn't have time to go back for a more detailed look at all the places Ben showed us. "
"Ben was our guide in Melbourne. He was very knowledgeable, super friendly and showed us all sorts of fun laneways (alleys), special arcades (shopping centers), architectural meaningful buildings and more. He shared interesting facts. Really helped us get a great sense of the city and all it's charm. Highly recommend this tour with Ben."
"We had a great time, touring Melbourne with Ben seeing the secret arcades and alleys that we never would have found without him. He was very knowledgeable and had cute stories. He was a very professional and considerate guide. He worked with us to accommodate times and customized the tour to a pre-determined’must-see’ list. We even got to taste several yummy chocolates and had an incredible hot chocolate. At the end, then made sure that we saw everything we wanted to and offered us suggestions for what else we needed to see in restaurants Thank you so much ben for showing us your beautiful city Lisa "

"Ben proved to be an excellent guide and storyteller with a most unique perspective. He was attentive and engaging for both of our tours. He was able to immerse us in Melbourne lore and showed us areas we would never have found on our own. "
"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!! "
"What a fantastic experience! While there should not have been an issue with finding the starting point, Ben came to where we were to start the tour. It was a tour later in the day (5:30) which means some ( just a few) places to see were closed. However, Ben provided as much information as possible about everything around, with great insight and a bit of humor. He even got us to engage with the city in an interesting way. We saw a lot, learned a lot, and highly recommend the experience at the start of your time in Melbourne as it can inform what you do and where you go while there. Thanks Ben!"
"We had a great time with Ben learning about the darker history of Melbourne. It kickstarted our visit to the city. Highly recommend. "
"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. "
