Dave is a genuinely good bloke and his enthusiasm for the city comes through and brings this tour to life. Its a very pleasant amble around carefully-selected highlights of the city. Art, culture, history, architecture - Dave covers all these and more in a totally unpretentious manner, answering questions with ease and engaging with his fellow MBF'ers. A great way... More

I took the weekday cultural tour with Dave this week. As I'm sure all the other reviews say, he is such a knowledgeable guy and clearly very passionate about his city! The tour takes you to parts of Melbourne city that even locals probably don't know about. I loved all the laneways and street art... and the cafes... but I... More

Initially I was slightly overwhelmed by the 3 hrs tour on foot but refreshment and a rest that was promised (and fulfilled) was something that convinced me to take on the tour with my wife. Dave was a great guide and as an overseas tourist who do not have much in-depth knowledge of Melbourne history, it is indeed an eye-opener... More

My husband and I had an absolutely fabulous afternoon with Dave! We were incredibly lucky as we were the only 2 people booked for the afternoon, so we got a very personalised tour of the city. Dave is very knowledgeable and was happy to answer any questions we had, ranging from sport to architecture to street art. He had a... More

Last week I took my girlfriend on the newly launched 'Beer Tour' from Dave at Melbourne By Foot; It was really interesting to hear about the rocky history of alcohol laws in Melbourne, particularly the 6 o'clock swill of the 50's and the 80's law-change that triggered Melbourne's laneway culture. Went into some cool bars that I had passed by... More

Did this on the first day we arrived from the UK. Fortunately only 3 of us on the tour so we had Dave's undivided attention. We really enjoyed it and Dave was very knowledgeable and we learnt a great deal about the City and its history. Thoroughly recommend especially if this is your first visit to Melbourne. More

Travelled toMelbourne in March 2012 and boy did it rain! But you have to take the weather as it comes and at least the drought was over for the farmers etc...I travelled around the City centre mainly on foot. There is a free tram but the route is pretty short and there is also a free tourist bus which was... More

My girlfriend had never been to Melbourne before and I thought a walking tour might be a great way to kickstart our holiday and for both of us to get a feel for the city, I was right. Dave was a fantastic tour guide taking us to many places we would never have visisted (or known existed). I enjoyed the... More

I am a fan of a city walking tour in general. I try to find one in every city I visit across the globe. It helps orient me and feel somehow a part of the place - even if I am staying for a few days. Dave's Melbourne by Foot is no expcection - even for a Aussie like me,... More
