Frank was great. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about all the landmarks. We had a great time on the tour. Would have preferred being taken around the loop of AC/DC lane instead of Hosier. Also check the dollar currency as mine booked in USD!! And we didn’t realise a tip was expected … we didn’t have any cash so felt bad. Sorry Frank.

The tour guy, I think his name is Tobi, was EXCELLENT, very knowledgeable. Patient, happy person, with a very nice personality. The places we visited, were a general idea of the beautiful Brisbane. However, I really ENJOYED the walking tour, and think he really enjoys what he does too. Thank you very much. Excellent person. I'll recommend him 1000%

Booked this tour for my mother-in-law. She had a very good time on the tour and was very complimentary of Sam, who kept the tour fun whilst also giving great details of the history of each stop. Would definitely recommend!

Our guide Sam was very informative, had a nice loud voice, a really good sense of humour and brilliant comic timing. One of the best city walking tours that we have done.

Well informed and interesting. However as to port phillip bay it was dry up until some 11,000 years ago after which it filled an dried again 2,800 to 1,000 years ago. Hence inhabitants historically used the current cnfiguration of the bay for a for a few thousand years.

Toby is an engaging knowledgeable guide who delivers a fun, interesting and thorough tour of impressive Melbourne. He had a very large group that stayed for the duration of the tour, which is not easy to do. He was funny and able to answer questions asked. Very grateful to you, Toby, for such a complete overview of this great city!
