5.00I really hope this tour will get more hype in the future. It's a really great tour, esp if you want to know and experience more about the gold rush history of Melbourne. The tour was well organized, it wasn't too long in total duration but very insightful and we did have enough time to explore everything for each place. Rick was our guide and he was very helpful in leading us, giving us suggestions of what to do, and telling us the background story for each site, so thanks Rick! Overall, great trip, lots of insights and experience!
