Great tour of places I would have never been with new friends. Maria our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the history of bars and hotels. She was also friendly and extremely helpful. It was interesting tour that took us to places we did t know despite having travelled to Melbourne on many other occasions. Our group stayed and talked well beyond the set tour time and left feeling like friends.read moreread less
