Great afternoon out in the beautiful city of Melbourne Bridgette was very fun and full of information. Friendly and we had a great afternoon exploring the city.
One of my favourite things to do is explore the city, even better with a friendly guide.read moreread less
Rachel W15/04/24 - Great tour, fantastic guide We did this on our first day in Melbourne and it was a great way to get a sense of the central city, the history.. and have a cheeky drink or two on the way.
Our guide was awesome, her knowledge far wider than the history of Melbourne. She pointed us to the best place to buy F1 supporter gear and confirmed some good restaurant options as well!
Thank youread moreread less

It really opened Melbourne up for me. The pub stops really brought the group together.I would definitely recommend.read moreread less
