A must must-do activity in Melbourne, if it’s your first time. - The most memorable activity during my holiday trip to Melbourne was the Sites and Bites tour. It was my first time there, and I needed this kind of tour. My guide, Tristan, served as my guide, photographer, and storyteller.
Thanks Tristan

Amazing tour of Melbourne - Tristan was an excellent guide! He took me up the Eureka Skydeck and told me lots of interesting facts about the history of the building as well as the city. He then took me around Melbourne city to local coffee shops and gave me a wonderful insight into Melbourne life.

Great way to see things you might otherwise miss! - Kellie is an EXCELLENT guide! Pleasant, friendly and very knowledgeable! I love the small group and the opportunities to let the group make decisions about where to go. I had never done a walking tour in any of my travels in the past but I will certainly do them any time I am in a new place, especially with Urban Adventures! It's a great way not only to learn from a local but to see things that would not otherwise be apparent.

Excellent experience - Melbourne Urban Adventures Bites and Sights Tour is a definite “Bucket List” when visiting Melbourne. Even if you are a regular and trust me your knowledge and understanding of this beautiful City will be greater. The Eureka Skydeck sets the platform for an excellent tour. The Laneway visits along with the Markets make this a fascinating tour. As always the right ingredients make a polished meal. Tour guide Kellie was the key 🔑 to make this not only a brilliant tour but her likeable and personal touch put the icing on this well baked cake. Kellie is a widely travelled tour guide that not only knows Melbourne but she knows the world. A beautiful person with a soul to match. This group is lucky to have such a person like Kellie. Flexible and easy going too. I would and do recommend this tour to any person. Even if you think you know Melbourne (like I thought I did ) you will be amazed at some of the history and stories to be told. Don’t hesitate to book a Tour with Urban. Integrity and professional is how I would label them Kellie is the best Tour guide ever encountered and have no hesitation in recommending her 101%. Cheers S

Great tour in Melbourne - Thank you for this great tour, Sonja! We enjoyed very much to see, hear about and taste this amazing city. We started with Eureka-tower, a fantastic lookout, heard a lot of interesting stories and tasted a flat white and some asian food. For the evening Sonja gave us a lot of tips and ideas, which made the day even more remarkable.

Outstanding tour of Melbourne with a personal touch - I can't recommend the tour highly enough to anyone visiting Melbourne. Lucas was a fantastic host and was very knowledgable. He made everybody in the group feel welcome. It felt more like exploring the city with friends than being on a normal tour. Together, we had lots of chats and laughs. The tour gave us a wonderful oversight of Melbourne. Despite not being good with heights, I enjoyed getting a view of Melbourne from the Skydeck. Afterwards we explored all that Melbourne has to offer, including the laneways and markets, and got to taste some of Melbourne's famous coffee and food. I would not want to have missed the tour!!!!
