    Laura was so good on the walking tour, we decided to take her hidden bar tour! We had a great time and met some new friends along the way I highly recommend this tour. You probably won't find these cool bars on your own

    The must do mystery tour in Melbourne
    This was the third time I have done this tour with our tour guide, Hugo and Depot Adventures All three times have been absolutely awesome !! The venues and the history of the bars we visited were explained in depth by our tour guide, who really has a passion for showing guests to a different side of Melbourne. Cant wait till my forth tour in 2024

    Great food and venues thanks to our terrific guide, Hugo.
    We loved Hugo. He went out of his way to accomodate our group of 8 couples, wanting to ensure we had a great evening exploring Melbournes hidden gems. He got the balance right between pushing us out of our comfort zone and not overdoing it. We tasted a diverse range of cuisines, with Hugo’s extensive knowledge of food and the city allowing him to elaborate on the history/ story of each venue. It was a fabulous night and we would highly recommend it to those who want to explore a different side of Melbourne. We hope to be be back to see Hugo next year!!!

    Perfect start to our Melbourne adventure
    I picked this tour after a lot of research for our first day in Melbourne. We arrived early here and I wanted something we could to power through the “jet lag”. It was perfect. It is as stated it is alot of walking but you stop at each spot for yummy drinks. Our group was eight which I to be perfect getting around. Thomas our guide was super! He gave us tidbits of history all along the way. Also gave us some other recommends of restaurants, sites and more bars. The group was a great mix, weather perfect and our guide the Best! Thank you once again Thomas for a lovely afternoon❤️😊

    Melbourne. Best place to visit.
    Very great tour guide. Impressed with the laneways art's and decor and all that it had to offer. Our guide provide us with a free cup of coffee/chocolate and beer at the end at 2 of his most famous spot. He even provided a map for us to stop at some of the most unpopular of beaten attractions upon end of tour. Thank you very much for showing us around your city of Melbourne. Very reasonable for the price.

    Laura rocked it!
    Laura was such an informative host. She was able to sprinkle in bits of if history and current events with our tour. She went above and beyond to share information and to make everyone feel welcome and included. The choice of venues was perfect and the diversity in sites was really appreciated.

Jan. 2020
This is our second visit to melbourne. And although weve wondered around the city centre, I guess until someone starts to point out and explain certain things, you haven’t really seen the city centre per say. There are lots of different tour companies around. They all seem pretty good. I would still give it 5 stars, but perhaps next time I’d opt for one of the free walking tours and pay at the end, rather than prepaying online. Just my opinion.

A fabulous tour - time to get back into the city after lockdown!
Although I have lived in Melbourne for 6 years and I work in the city I didn’t know much about the history of Melbourne or stories of the lane ways and buildings. We had a great afternoon with our guide Hugo who shared his knowledge with us and top tips. It was super to see the city bustling with life again after a long lockdown.
I highly recommend doing a tour - for locals and visitors alike - to appreciate our great city and support our local businesses like Depot Adventures.

Thanks for the review! Hugo's a great guide and I'm glad you got the chance to get to know him. He's been hard at work lately brewing his own beer — keep your eyes peeled for his brand, "A Local Beer."

Excellent Walking Tour of Melbourne!
Jan. 2020
Ideal way to get acclimated to Melbourne- we learned about the city's history, explored the architecture of several buildings, gained an understanding of the city's layout and found some cool places to take pictures, drink coffee, etc. We also learned about Ned Kelly! As this was our first visit to Melbourne, this tour was a perfect way to start our trip. Kevin was an excellent tour guide as he even shared ideas for places to see outside of the city (Phillip Island, Great Ocean Road, etc).

Bridget did a nice job with the walking tour. However, we booked online for USD33 and when we arrived inMelbourne, we found that the online booking cost was AUD29, about 35% lower. Is it fair today that I feel cheated?

Hi there — thanks for coming on our tour and taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed Bridget's tour. Can you please email me at john@walks101.com and let me know where you saw the tour advertised for $29? The tour isn't now and has never been $29, so it might be an issue of TripAdvisor displaying the local currency. The price of the Complete Tour at the time of this writing is $49AUD, which is roughly $33USD. I'd love to know the source of the confusion, so please do email me so I can investigate and correct. Thanks! -John

A surprise around every corner.
Nov. 2019
Got the details from Nomad hostel. Met at Gordon Sq. Our guide said he was from Dubai but had fallen in love with the city and was staying. His knowledge and enthusiasm showed as we twisted and turned through narrow alleys and arcades and past art and imposing architecture. Everything from high end tea shops to 19thC prison and art deco. Melbourne has it all, and this tour over 3 hours certainly whets the appetite for more exploration.

I have lived in Melbourne for 56 years, and this tour taught me many facts about my home city that I was unaware of. Great guide, very knowledgeable and a great sense of humour. Highly recommended.

I hit the Jackpot!!
Mar. 2020
Normally this would be a group activity, but due to the crazy times we are living in at the moment...... I hit the jackpot and had a private tour.
Lucky me :-)

My guide John, was fabulous..tailoring the tour to my interests on this occasion. I am an amateur photographer that also loves art, architecture, interiors and street art.

The time flew by as we wandered through the various laneways decorated by many layers of graffiti art, had a sneak peek into the bars and restaurants setting up for lunch or talked to the local business people about how their business were being affected.

A coffee at John's favourite cafe @junglejuicemelbourne to soak up the atmosphere of Centre Place then we were on our way again.

Now I may sound like a tourist, but I was bought up in a Melbourne suburb and worked my first job in Block Arcade. This for me was a walk down memory lane and a way to see one of my favourite cities in the world through a local who is passionate about the city he has chosen to call home.

Hi Lorraine, thanks so much for leaving this lovely review. In the age of COVID-19, you were indeed the last tour I gave before travel restrictions.

We took the paid walking tour of Melbourne our giide was Beau.
He was totally informative.
We walked the city by ourselves and after the tour we realized we missed everything.
It takes about 3 hours you go down small little Alleys and see cool things.
I hope you can get the guide Beau
