We enjoyed the tour of the east side of the Melbourne CBD, led by Jeremy last month. We have been living in Melbourne for two years, after moving from Perth, and we are still playing tourist. The low key nature of the two hour walk suited us, and the good sized group ensured we didn't miss out on any information.... More

This 3 hour tour was great. It started at Fed Square. The tour guide was lovely & made everyone in the group feel welcome. Her knowledge of the artists at the various galleries was very good. We went to a variety of galleries, including Craft Victoria, and also three laneways where we enjoyed the street art. The walk ended with... More

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves when we participated in this tour on a sunny Sunday afternoon earlier in the month. For me it was a chance to build upon my existing knowledge of the early history of Melbourne. However, for my daughter this was the first time she had made any real connection with the origins of her... More

We have been telling everyone about this since Saturday and can't wait to do another one as soon as possible. Our overseas visitors will be in for a treat next time they come over, too as we... More

Loved walking down lanes of Melbourne seeing (and hearing about) street art, finding galleries of all sizes and descriptions and seeing where people can display their artwork (eg old letterboxes) … gotta go on one of these walking tours - they're fabulous.

We had a wonderful day yesterday walking the streets of Melbourne and learning it's history from the very friendly and well informed Jerome. My uncle introduced Jerome to a mythical "Lord Russell" of Russell St "fame" and the playful banter began and continued throughout the tour, making it light-hearted as well as very educational. It's a two hour walk but... More

Holidaying from Scotland, we took three of the tours led by Jerome (Laneways, Architecture and Cycling) and also Robin's Art Deco tour, during our first week. Together they gave us a really good introduction to many fascinating aspects of the city. Jerome is relaxed, funny and adaptable as well as very knowledgeable and we have revisited areas we saw with... More

Jerry and I had a great day on Sunday "walking the streets" with Jeremy. He was funny, informative and I have already recommended this to friends and family as a real hidden treasure experience, even for us oldies who have lived here all our lives!!! Thanks Jeremy, we will be back!

A must for visitors and Melbourne residents alike. We have been living in Melbourne for 9 years and took a visitor on this tour- opened our eyes to our city and where we should be looking. Oh and the samples from LIndt were yum!
