My thanks to Neil for a great tour!
~ Kristi
Jess had so much knowledge about Melbourne and showed us some amazing places and told great stories.
Highly recommend to anyone considering this experience!
Anie very informative, she knows her bars, drink knowledge is fantastic and enhances the night with her great fun personality.
Also got some Melbourne history and insight at each venue.
Gin tasting was great, good food, easy walking distance between each venue.
We will be back for the cocktail 🍸 tour shortly
Well known to Melbourne’s past
Jess was fluent in all of the history, myths, legends and spooky/scary overtones 😂😂
The tasty foods and delicious delicacies on offer were brilliant! We had a fabulous evening and please express our great thanks to Jess for such a great fun experience - we are local Southbank Melbourne residents so this was an element of great frivolity and a funny discussion point, for the group 🥰🥰
Ethan was a fabulous guide, really inviting all of us on the tour to chat, make friends and have fun throughout the tour. Would recommend this to anyone looking to get to know some of Melbourne's best spots.
While I understand that the company can't control who books each tour, the marketing on the website does give the impression of a younger, more mixed-age crowd, which was part of why I booked in the first place. I have no issue with an age-diverse group, but when there's a complete generational gap, it can make socializing difficult and impact the overall vibe.
At $90, I found the tour to be overpriced for what was offered — particularly since drinks aren't included and it appears to run irregularly due to limited interest. If you're in the 60+ age group, this might actually be a great fit for you. However, if you're a younger traveller hoping for a more dynamic social setting, I’d recommend looking into other options.
Our host, Jess, was fantastic—fun, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating. She made everything run smoothly, and we all had a blast. Highly recommend!
Very comfy transport in a Mercedes van with our own personal tour guide! On arrival at the homestead we could have a look around then had a lovely Devonshire tea prior to the actual tour starting. You join the "Living Legends" tour with loads of carrots and .buggy transport if needed. Otherwise it is an easy walk from paddock to paddock engaging with the likes of Apache Cat, Brew(almost 30!),The Cleaner, Bohemeth amongst many others!
If you have a love for horses it is a hoot. All questions can be answered by either Jess or the Legends tour guide. We thoroughly enjoyed it and came away with some great pics. Our bonus was meeting the delightful Kate(volunteer) and her Rottweiler who offered her assistance in calling Bohemeth to the fence. He and many of the others come for the dog experience and her liquorice!!!!
On completion of the tour Jess returned us to the city and even dropped us off in an area that we requested. We would have no hesitation in recommending Jess and her tour company for this and any of the other tours that sounded great.
Informed. A great time for a novice visitor and her Aussie friends.
We could not fault the tour Jess's efforts and knowledge that she passed on to two older Australians already well versed on our history. We learnt a lot.
Jess was a safe driver and always prompt
Jess also gave us space for our own appropriate amount of time without prompting.
Well done Jess
