Bianca was a fun guide for this tour. We saw many of the big sites in Melbourne, most notably the laneway street art. It felt like we kind of wandered around the streets without really knowing where we were going, but there is so much to see that it was fun anyway.

I took my girlfriend on the Donuts Tour for her birthday and we had such a great time! Bianca was an amazing guide and made exploring Melbourne feel even more special. Highly recommend!

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!
