We did this tour in February 2020. We originally scheduled it for the 10th but one of our party took unwell and Kel went out of his way to help rearrange our tour for the 13th, once our group were fully fit. Kel and Mel were great hosts, sharing a lot of information and making us feel very welcome. By the end of the tour, I felt I'd seen a lot, had a great afternoon out and had made two new friends. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne.

My first trip to Australia couldn't have started in a better way... Melbourne, was the first city I visited. On the first day I did the Melbourne Sporting Icons and the Bayside, our guide Kel was a delight, he was on time, the mini ban was brand new and very comfortable. He gave us a great tour around the sport facilities and explained the history of them, we drove on the race track of the Melbourne grand prix, then we walked around St.Kilda's Central Business District. also drove around the beautiful neighborhoods & also went to see the Brighton Bathing Boxes which was fun.... and finally we went to the South Melbourne Market which was great, we had coffee and was able to spend time talking to Kel about the country and the city of Melbourne. kel was very informative, very friendly and caring. He wanted to make sure we had a good experience and we sure did. I would highly recommend them. My experience was absolutely a pleasure.

We hired a self drive boat for our work team activity. It was a great way to spend the afternoon. The boat was immaculate and had everything you needed. The boats are much nicer than the other self drive boats you can get on the Yarra. I would highly recommend Melbourne Boat Hire.

We have completed a few classes in different countries, and absolutely love learning how to cook different culinaries. Although we did meet some lovely people at this class, we felt the experience was not as good as it should have been. The chef talked too fast and too soft, so everyone was getting lost as to what we were supposed to be adding to the bowl, and we were not given the recipes to assist us. We did prepare all the food for cooking, however, we only cooked one component and the chef cooked the rest. We felt this defeated the whole purpose of “cooking school” The hot plate area was too cramped for the 12 of us to get around to cook, and another element the chef cooked outside. This was a real disappointment as we were there to cook, and learn, however, the staff were lovely, and all in all was an experience ????

We often purchase these multi-day passes, as they provide a great way to see a city. This one, for our 2 days in Melbourne was thrown out money. The Hop On Hop Off was awful....the pre-recorded narrative was unintelligible. To get from place to place, it only ran once every 45 minutes. Then, once we became familiar with Melbourne, the offered attractions were worthless, unless you wanted discounts to drink. Places were unable to get to, information was non-existent. Absolutely the worst!

My husband and I spent out last day there with Bianca. She was an amazing host as to make the day an amazing experience!! I would totally recommend Bianca and her company!!
