Booked this tour for my mother-in-law. She had a very good time on the tour and was very complimentary of Sam, who kept the tour fun whilst also giving great details of the history of each stop. Would definitely recommend!
Andrew_S, May 2026
Our guide Sam was very informative, had a nice loud voice, a really good sense of humour and brilliant comic timing. One of the best city walking tours that we have done.

Toby is an engaging knowledgeable guide who delivers a fun, interesting and thorough tour of impressive Melbourne. He had a very large group that stayed for the duration of the tour, which is not easy to do. He was funny and able to answer questions asked. Very grateful to you, Toby, for such a complete overview of this great city!

Great tour of Melbourne on foot and easy walking to view key city sites within a small radius. Recommend for those that do not have mobility issues.

Check where meeting place is. We went to address and then found out meeting point was somewhere else
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Hi Dot, my sincere apologies for this - we had a group of over 20 on this day all who found the meeting point based on the description provided. We have since updated it to avoid any possible further confusion! Thank you again and travel safe!

Sam was excellent, full of energy and interesting information. And managed to keep a big group together and to time.

The walking tour of Melbourne was quite interesting. The tour guide Sam did a great job shepherding a large group through the City Center. He shared historical tidbits and pointed out a number of places (e.g., Victoria State Library) worth more in-depth exploration than was possible during the tour. The face in the black-and-white building was incredible although I was unable to get a picture quickly enough. Sam had a photo he shared and the fave was clearly visible.
Great tour! I recommend highly to a Melbourne first-timer. At several stops, Sam's enthusiastic descriptions caused passers-by to slow down and listen for a bit.

Great tour for newcomers to Melbourne , covers some of the interesting areas and history of Melbourne
Natalia_P, Jan 2026
This walking tour was so informative and enlightening that it did not feel like the group had walked for over 2 hours around beautiful and historical Melbourne. It was fantastic! Frank, the tour guide, was engaging and funny, and of course, very knowledgeable.
The only addition would be to include more historical perspective from the indigenous peoples' standpoint.
Lesley_G, Jan 2026
Frank lead an excellent tour packed with info delivered in a light hearted & fun way. A pocket lesson of Melbourne’s history & culture wrapped with humour & passion.
It was a big group as Bank Holiday w/e but Frank projected his voice extremely well so everyone could hear over the street noise & managed to keep tabs on us all. He took time to speak to everyone individually & gave personal tips & recommendations for further exploring & dining. Brilliant !

Our guide Toby was the best! Relatable and interesting history of Melbourne shared. Toby is very knowable and took his time explaining the stories.
Alexandra_W, Dec 2025
Sam was a wonderful guide, full of energy, we absolutely loved the tour! Hit all the right spots and we went back to some of them after - we got ice cream as recommended and went into the library. So much fun, thank you.
Tanesha_D, Oct 2025
Tour guide was absolutely amazing! I wish I remembered his name, because he was so so good!! Very knowledgeable, loud & clear speaker! We saw so many amazing places!! The architecture in Melbourne is unmatched!
Valerie_B, Aug 2025
Sam projected his voice well, was full of local trivia and passion. The tour was well paced, informative and detailed without overloading you. Sam also answered lots of questions question and was generally very knowledgeable about Melbourne history. A must do when in town. Absolutely recommend!
Robert_R, Aug 2025
