The cocktails were fancy, the whiskey was smooth, and the memories are... well, let's just say we're still piecing together the night. Can't wait to do it all again (or at least, try to remember it). Cheers to the best pub tour ever! 🍸🥃😂"
I joined the Melbourne City Walking Tour guided by Ian, and it was truly an unforgettable experience!
I’m from Beijing, China, and the other four visitors in my group were from the US and Canada. Even though I’m not a native English speaker, Ian made sure I was always part of the conversation. He patiently explained everything, checked that I understood, and made me feel completely included.
Listening to Ian was like attending a fun and inspiring Australian history class. His passion and knowledge brought Melbourne’s landmarks — from The Hotel Windsor and Parliament House to Flinders Street Station and Chinatown — vividly to life.
It was also my first time appreciating Melbourne’s laneway art, and I was amazed to learn that the famous Banksy had left his work here too! Ian even introduced us to Melbourne’s coffee culture and treated us to a “magical coffee,” which was such a delightful touch.
Overall, this was an amazing and memorable tour. Ian is knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely cares about his guests. Highly recommended!
Knowledgeable and fun
Would strongly recommend
Ian was an excellent guide and extremely knowledgeable. Knows how to tell a good story too!
The tour took us right through Melbourne, explaining its origins and evolution as we went.
100% recommended.
I can't recommend these tours enough - especially if you're new to Melbourne.
Book it now - you won't be disappointed! :-)
Top tip - book this tour for the first day of your stay in Melbourne so you have plenty of time to revisit on the amazing places to eat and drink!
The night I booked, I was the only person - Hugo kindly offered me the following day with a group, a refund or a unique private tour. Due to schedule, I was unable to rebook so went for the personal tour.
Hugo was very knowledgeable and great company for the evening. He tailored the tour so l had the best experience ever. We were welcomed at all restaurants and bars visited which enriched the evening.
At the end of the evening, Hugo marked off all the places we'd visited on a map so I was able to return at my leisure.
This tour is a definite must whilst in Melbourne and my favourite one of them all. Thank you

The reality of the tour was that we basically did a speed walk in order to keep up with our tour guide. The guide even got peeved with me for stopping to try and get some photos.
The coffee stop only offered only two types of coffee and no food option. And then at the end of the tour when we stopped at the pub, the only beer option included was a lager. If we wanted anything different it was on us to purchase it.
Little streets, good moments, historic tour
I was very happy to discover Melbourne by this way
Would definitely recommend to all.
Just be wary asking Hugo to take a photo as he loves to play jokes on you… seriously, he is a very funny tour guide and great value!
