including Jamies insights into Bendigo History.
An afternoon delight.
Jamie gave a fascinating insight into the history of goldfields Bendigo and explained the background to historical buildings and landscape. A well developed and put together narrative which has given us a new appreciation of the location and development of Bendigo _ all too easy to overlook as you drive past or through Bendigo. Take the time to stop and learn!
Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys a variety of food and wine.. Great for locals to do and also a great tour to do if you are visiting Bendigo. A perfect way to sample some of our amazing restaurants we offer in Bendigo.
Jamie as the host was great..
Wear good shoes as we covered about 4 kms seeing the sites where bad things happened in the past.
Much recommended for an entertaining night which finished nicely with an ale in an old pub’s cellar.
We had a fabulous day with good food, wine, beer and venues that are a must in Bendigo. Caught the train from Melbourne for the tour returning back to Melbourne early evening. A fabulous day and some stories of Bendigo to go with it.
Thanks Jamie. Highly recommend this experience.
I'm already planning my next tour with Bendigo Guided Tours, as loved it that much. Thanks Jamie for a great afternoon..
My wife and I were fortunate to be able to join Jamie from Bendigo Guided Tours on a very informative tour of the Chinese mines and precinct.
We firstly went to see some mines just off a road I have travelled a thousand times before and I didn’t know that these mines existed.
We also went to the Joss house and Chinese Gardens that I have never been in to.
A lovely morning tea at Omari and also a visit to the Chinese Museum.
If anyone is wanting a tour, I would recommend Bendigo Guided Tours.
Jamie also does food orientated tours. A brunch tour might be our next one.
