Laneways come alive! - Laura was an excellent tour guide. She kept all the tour group involved in her revelations on the history of Melbourne and knowledge on the laneways. We all had a lot of fun.

Memorable walking tour of Melbourne - First stop on my arrival in Melbourne. Excellent overview of the city, exploration of the laneways, and interesting tips from a local. Fantastic way to get oriented with the city and all it has to offer, I couldn’t recommend enough. Our guide Laura was fantastic and provided a warm welcome to everyone in the group.

Don’t miss this tour! - This was an excellent tour. Hugo was knowledgeable and engaging. Who knew there was so much to do in Melbourne? It’s a great foundation for the rest of the time visiting the city.

Hugo was very informative... - Hugo was very informative during the walking tour. Luckily, we were only 3 in the tour so it became personalized according to our wants. We had coffee at Degraves Street (where we discovered Magic - stronger version of flat white!) and had Australian Ale at the pub. My husband and I enjoyed this tour! Highly recommend!

Must do walking tour for seeing the city - Hugo was fabulous in his love, knowledge and story-telling of Melbourne. He brought our small group together into a small family by the time we were through. Must do for someone new to the city and wanting to feel a part of this beautiful city.

Great Walking Tour - We had our walkabout with Dave and he gave us some great historical info and stories of the area to start off our trip to Sydney. We already scheduled a bridge climb and opera tour so he graciously readjusted our walk to other areas of the city. He also gave us suggestions on places to eat.

First walking tour 👌🙌, loved it, 💯%, 🙏 - We are in Melbourne for a week and thought we would kick it off with a walking tour to get a lie of the land and Melbourne's history. I have never before done a walking tour though having now experienced one, would thoroughly recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Laura, our guide, is a local. She is knowledgeable and passionate about her home town and we honestly learnt so much that we would have overlooked and not been aware of. It has enriched our visit to this beautiful city 🏙️ ♥️ Thanks so much Laura for your passion!

180 minutes of enjoyment - Above and beyond our expectations and thoroughly enjoyable and informative tour. Hugo was our guide who had a warm and welcoming disposition and put us readily at ease from the moment we first met. He got us to introduce ourselves to our fellow walkers from the get go and we were delighted to be sharing this experience with such a lovely group - eight of us in total. Hugo made the whole experience interesting, factual and inter-active. We always try to partake in a walking tour when we visit anywhere new but this was one of the best we have undertaken - thank you Depot Adventures and bravo to Hugo for his enthusiasm and hard work in putting together such a great tour.
