A fun way to learn about Melbourne If you’re looking for something different to do in Melbourne this tour is a great idea. It was a fun way to learn about the city’s history.
The host, Maria, was very engaging, energetic and friendly.
It was a good way to get to know some of the bars and nightlife around the city. Maria had a good knowledge of things to do around melbourne and had many other interesting tidbits to share.read moreread less
