Good Introduction to Melbourne

Max and Jamie's tour was a great way to introduce ourselves to the city after just moving here. They had a lot of interesting information to share, and so entertaining that even our little one didn't get bored! Would recommend to anyone looking to get to know the city better.

Oliver Brooks · September 2026

Perfect way to arrive in Melbourne

Best 2hrs we spent in the city! Loved all the quirky details (secret alleyways, hidden rivers, local recommendations, etc). Where other tours feel corporate/scripted, today felt like walking around town with knowledgeable mates. Don't skip this!

An engaging tour by locals!

Max and Jamie are great hosts! The tour balances history, culture, and laughs brilliantly. First Nations history gave us a whole new appreciation for the city before diving into the modern age. You can tell they really love their city - 10/10 recommendation!
