Private tours are definitely worth the money! - Wonderful three hour private tour of Melbourne. With a few questions, our tour guide was able to customize a tour for our family. This included the various arcades, street, art, state, library, lightning, ridge, opal, store, and chocolate shop!
Hugo was knowledgeable and patient. Our kids are nine and 11 and we deviated from the original plan a few times. Hugo could not have been better!
Private tours are worth the extra money, and this was done extremely well.

Loved this tour! - Marc was our guide and he was both entertaining and informative. He asked us what sites in Melbourne we wanted to see and then tailor made our tour to our interests. It was a warm afternoon in the summer so we asked Marc to take us to a gelato shop to cool down. We finished are tour at a rooftop bar called Goldi Locks. Loved this tour!

The best walking tour in town - Not sure if this was the Tour - this was just myself and a charming Italian lady - and of course, John. I know Melbourne a little (I live in Sydney) but I wanted someone with more insider knowledge. I didn't want to miss Laneways and stuff. John was a great guide and host - even treated us to a coffee part way through and an optional drink in a college bar at the end. In the 3 hours we walked, we say everything I could have wanted - architecture, gardens, shops (and Laneways!) and I came away feeling I really do know a bit more about the City. Highly recommended.
