It was like being shown around Melbourne by a friend or family member - Chris, our guide, is extremely knowledgeable on history, culture as well as a variety of topics. He is a great listener and helped us define our general ideas of what we wanted to see. We learned so much-he is a great storyteller and provided so many facts and information on what we were seeing. We feel like we saw the highlights of Melbourne. We definitely recommend Chris and will be sure to use him again on a return trip.

Returning to Melbourne is already "planned" - Because of my 3 full days short trip in Melbourne, I decided to book a personalized tour, to be able to get some city history, relevant places, architecture knowledge, fast, organized, as my time in the city was limited and had no opportunity to read or get informed, prior the trip. Chris (my guide), after the usual greetings, took his time to break the ice, and get one more confirmation about my interests, making sure that i hadn't change my mind. In 3, almost 4 hours, Chris has managed to take me to great, beautiful places in Melbourne, starting with iconic Flinders Street and Station, to St Patrick's Cathedral, the Parliament House, Royal Building, ACDC street and so many others ...and at every stop Chris provided relevant facts and the story behind each place/building. It's quite amazing how much information and knowledge you get from 4 hours of conversing, walking, listening and enjoying the views. Chris made sure that I get enough pointers and suggestions from my next day, and because of his tips succeeded to have a very "proficient" day on my own as well. For those who have limited time in Melbourne, and you want to get to know the city and its beauty, I highly recommend the tour, and Chris :-) - as his love and admiration for the city contributed to my decision to return next year.

Many different faces of Melbourne - We had a very pleasant time exploring Melbourne City with my guide, Moji. She was very smiling and kind. She took many my family photos in front of various tourist spots. She asked us questions about what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go, and she got it done quickly. She took us to various places such as Melbourne's back streets, casinos, historical sites, and markets. At the market, I had the pleasure of purchasing a painting depicting Melbourne's landmarks with her. She found me a nice painting shop. I would like to thank her for making the most of her effort for our sightseeing within the limited time of 4 hours.

The tour was not... - The tour was not avertissed as promised. The tour guide didn’t know much about the history or important events of Melbourne but he could tell us where to get the best coffee! A total waste of time and money. And now we’re leaving Melbourne without knowing much about it
