Dee was an amazing guide - welcoming, friendly and full of information about the history of Melbourne. She showed us lots of street art in the Lanes and walked us through the beautiful arcades. The hot chocolate stop was to die for. A great first tour to do if you’ve never been to Melbourne. She was full of tips about how to use trans/trains etc and we received a very useful map as well 😊

The guide was knowledgeable and delightful, however, this tour was advertised as a lanes and arcades tour. There were very few lanes. I could have done without the hot chocolate break in exchange for more lanes. I felt short-changed in this regard. We actually broke off early in order to go explore more lanes on our own.

Our guide was very knowledgable and showed us some places I never would have found on my own, I really enjoyed it.

Our guide provided detailed descriptions and histories of the many unique buildings and sites in the area. The lanes and arcades are beautiful in many ways. The stop at the chocolate shop was quite a tasty bonus. Our guide was well versed in the details of the area, a great tour leader, and a wonderful communicator.

The concept of this tour is amazing as there are so many hidden ally's and gems, it's the best part of Melbourne. This tour isn't bad , but it's not great, it's ok. Definitely saw some great ally's and things I would have walked by on my own. For 3 hours, most of our time was standing around and listening to way too much history. And a long time having chocolate and tea. Which was a great spot. But we saw maybe 5 ally's , there are hundreds . The area walked was way to short , the route needs to be expanded exponentially and I would have wanted to see a lot more in 3 hours . Also it's was way too expensive for a 3 hour walking tour. It should be about $40 usd or less not $88 . I would probably do it again but feel like I paid way too much by a lot. In contrast I did an ocean road tour which was about 14 hours, the entire day and we traveled over 500 km, and it was about the same price at $98. Great idea , but could be executed much better
