Great Job! Had a great time - What a great introduction to Melbourne. She did a great job describing the history and culture. Be aware this is a walking tour with steps if there is issue with that. Not a bus tour.

adapted our tour to what was best about Melbourne and what we most wanted to see - We had a small group so our guide adapted our tour to what was best about Melbourne and what we most wanted to see.. She showed us the sights that many tour guides do not share. We also had a bonfire Australian lunch.
