This tour exceeded our expections. We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Melbourne with our guide Mike. We learned about the history of Melbourne, visited the must see lanes and arcades and iconic locations. We were introduced to Magic, Melbourne's own version of a cappuccino and had a beer at Melville, Melbourne's oldest pub. In addition he set up a group app to provide us with a map of our tour, a picture of our group and links to other tours. We were so delighted with his tour, that we booked Night Bites through the same company. Whether you are here for 1 day or many, this tour is a great introduction to Melbourne.
