Our tour guide Zoe was amazing. Answered everyone's questions and made an effort to speak to everyone individually at the beginning to get to know us which was very kind. Information provided was entertaining, educational and humourous at times and for a first timer in Melbourne, it definitely made me love and appreciate the city more than I expected.

Sam was a wonderful guide, full of energy, we absolutely loved the tour! Hit all the right spots and we went back to some of them after - we got ice cream as recommended and went into the library. So much fun, thank you.
