Donuts- Do It! - Tony was amazing! His knowledge of the city is incredible while walking and talking the entire time. I loved being so active and getting to so many parts of Melbourne and learning some rich history. Tony was kind and considerate asking if my needs were being met -a lovely gentleman! The coffee and donuts were very delicious and perfectly timed with bathroom breaks on the tour. I would highly recommend this for a fun and delicious way to get to know Melbourne!

Great Tour! - The Coffee and Donuts tour is a great way to see the sights of Melbourne, whether you are a born and bred Melbournian (like myself and my friends on the tour) or a tourist wanting to see the sights. And yes there is coffee and donuts included!! Our tour guide Miles has great knowledge of the places we visited, including all the small laneways within the city streets. We highly recommend the tour!

Great intro to Melbourne - plus donuts! - Great walking tour with friendly, knowledgeable guide. Enjoyed seeing the sights, learning the background info, and stops for coffee and donuts along the way. The tours mix of iconic places and some lesser know spots. Would recommend as a good way to get introduced to Melbourne.

Melbourne in 4 hours - wow - It was easy to book. Tony, our guide was easy to find. We got super lucky and we’re the only ones on this particular tour… He gave us so much information. He was so excited to share the beautiful city of Melbourne. We could never have learned the city on our own. We had delicious donuts and incredible lattes! Your Torres are always spot on with Spot on People… Can’t wait to do another one in another city soon!

Great Tour - Boy what a great morning tour. Our group was small so the guide adjusted and were able to spending more time talking about local history spots that we were interested in (Mitre Tavern, Hoiser Lane Grafiti, the old Victoria Club where the Great Bookie Robbery occurred). The additional stops for coffee and donuts were perfect.
