David was first class all the way. His knowledge, sense of fun and enthusiasm were the best. We toured with another family and David made sure we all felt comfortable and proceeded to give us all great local knowledge and an inclusive tour. Even though he supports Collingwood he is the best. This tour is highly recommended for anyone looking for a great bike ride around d this beautiful city!

Walking & eating - fun times in Melbourne…
Martina was friendly and engaging with lots of local knowledge, as well as the history of Melbourne. She took us to some amazing places that we would never have found on our own and we tasted some delicious food. We ended being the only couple on the tour on that day, so that made it a very unique, personal experience for us, but we understand there may be up to 8 people normally. We would definitely recommend doing this tour, but do it at the start of your time In Melbourne, so you can go back to some of the places you visit again for a full meal.

Went on tour with Syphillis Jay on Saturday afternoon. Absolutely delightful! Although the ghosts were a tad cranky and tried to take out Jay by the knees. Informative and hilarious takes and adventures. Special shout out to the final bar as well, delicious martini and the absolute best atmosphere.

An Informative, Interesting Sporting Tour
We had a fantastic tour of the different sporting arenas of Melbourne! While we wouldn't consider ourselves big sporting fans, we really enjoyed learning more about the history and significance of cricket, AFL, tennis and NRL, and how the different sporting venues and codes come together in Melbourne with Ben.We started with the MCG tour which was really informative as we not only had an informative, current MCG member guide us, but also Ben who used to work there with additional stories to sharen. We then continued with a walking tour to learn more about AAMI Park, Rod Laver Arena and the surrounding tennis courts. Ben was incredibly knowledgeable, informative and friendly, making it easy to ask questions and have a relaxed conversation along the way. He clearly knew his stuff, but shared his knowledge in a way that was engaging and enjoyable. It was fascinating to learn more about the different sports, their history and the important role they play in Melbourne's sporting culture.We finished with a lovely walk home along the Yarra River, which was the perfect way to finish our tour.

It runs rain or shine and it rained. We still had a wonderful time on the train. The tour guide will take a video of you when the train comes to the bridge where she was standing. It was fun.
