Meet your guide at the edge of Princes Bridge, opposite Flinders Street Station, behind Transport Bar.
Look out for person waving the DHT Flag AND/OR wearing a black shirt/hoody/jacket (depending on the weather) and our distinctive black, white and pink logo on the left breast.
Please note we are transitioning out of wearing uniforms to guides wearing normal clothes with a name badge, so some guides will have a flag to identify themselves, while others will be in uniform.
Sorry for the confusion as we make this transition!
