I had an excellent walking tour. My guide way Carly! Thank you Carly for a lively tour and making this a very memorable trip for me. I was a solo traveller in Melbourne for 3 days, the walking tour was an excellent way to learn about a lot the city in a short time, see all the historic spots and get great recommendations on restaurants and bars to visits.

I am so glad I was part of this unique experience with Den! He is such a nice and heartful person, it was great listening to his stories and his perspective on life! The aboriginal culture is so rich in wisdom, we all can learn from them! Would recommend it 10/10

Joe was a lovely guide, very passionate about Melbourne history and he is able to transmit that throughout the whole tour. You meet interesting places but at times the tour becomes too long.

Was our first experience with VR and it did not disappoint! We went as a family day activity, (kids aged 10 & 12) and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The staff were fabulous.

Timia was a great guide, awesome experience, highly recommend.
