Itinerary

Queen Victoria Market
40 min

You will be taken on a walk through this absolutely loved, historic, cultural icon, so loved by many locals and tourists alike, every morning except when closed on Mondays and Wednesdays, you can experience the largest open air market in the Southern Hemisphere. So much here for the senses!

St. Patrick's Cathedral
Admission included30 min

Your guide will help you get the best photographs and enter into this solemn space to marvel and even pray if you wish, and if there is no service at the time.. It is a must see, absolutely beautiful church indeed.

Fitzroy Gardens
Admission included40 min

We will take a nature stroll among the flora, fauna, and natural beauty of one of the largest of our CBD green spaces, so peaceful. Showing you such colorful flower displays and little bonus, a cottage belonging to Captain James Cooks parents!

Fed Square
Admission included40 min

Federation Square at the heart of Melbourne's busiest area alongside the Yarra river and Flinders St Station is a must! We will walk to about 5 different essential arteries in the thriving inner Melbourne city area..maybe hop on a Tram here too.. how could you do this without an experienced local guide by your side!

Brighton Bathing Boxes Association Inc.
30 min

A short drive South of the city takes us to not only a much loved pristine beachside, but also one of our most expensive suburbs. Marvel at the multi colored tiny huts as picturesque as it gets! (dont forget to ask about the price!)

Dissapointed

Viator cancels tours without notification. We had to do texts and phone calls to find out that the tour was canceled, while we were waiting at the pickup point.

Operator response

My sincere apologies, this does not happen often. In the case this day was an extreme day over 45 degrees of heat wave, many things were cancelled, including suppliers we normally use.

Fabulous day with Andrew

We had a fabulous day with Andrew and would highly recommend him. He was very interesting and nothing was too much trouble. When we realised we had extra time to kill before we needed to be at airport for our flight home, he happily extended our tour so we could see more of Melbourne. Highlights were Fitzroy Gardens, Conservatory and Captain Cooks parents house transported brick by brick to Melbourne, and Brighton beach and the beach boxes. we could have spent a whole day at the gardens but unfortunately only had half an hour due to other stops we wanted to make in a short time.

Operator response

Lovely review thanks so much Sue, so glad to have you all down here with me.
