Highly recommend this for something different to do in the city. 4 bars in 3hrs and we chose the pre paid option which allowed you to choose and drink of choice off their bar beverage list!

- janetbQ3596UP0 contributionsExcellent guide, excellent tour!Hugo was an excellent guide - friendly, professional and knew everything about Melbourne. The actual tour was also excellent - just the right amount of walking, exploring and information. And some fabulous recommendations. Thanks Hugo!Written 9 October 2024
- neilstaff0rd0 contributionsHUMOUROUSLY LEARNINGI have visited Melbourne many times, and thought I Knew the city but from the start Hugo showed us hidden secrets and told many interesting stories about the history and background of Melbourne. The tour was taken at a leisurely pace, giving time for group discussion, anecdotal tales, and some terrible jokes. Additionally Hugo gave us some great tips of other things to do and see, which took up the next 2 days. A brilliant 3 hours well-spent.Written 7 October 2024

- egorr1510 contributionsFun food tour, great for exploring the downtownMark was a wonderful host - very knowledgeable about the city and a great conversationalist.

- Megan R0 contributionsWhat a great way to see the city, learn about the history and sample the wares…A great way to find new places. Hugo was an exceptional guide, and made it a tour to remember. Great value and I’ll be booking again to find more hidden spots around the city. I took away a (long) list of other places to find which was a real bonus.Written 21 September 2024
- U6540BOterryb0 contributionsGet a little history with your bar hopping -- it was a blast.The tour was an absolute blast, all thanks to Hugo, our guide extraordinaire! He whisked us away to the coolest speakeasies you'd never find without a local wizard like him. As we hopped from one secret bar to the next, Hugo dished out fun historical tidbits that made each sip feel like a time travel adventure. The cocktails? Top-notch! And Hugo? He's the life of the party – the kind of guy you'd want to have a drink with any day. If you're up for a dash of history with your happy hour, sign up for this tour!Written 2 September 2024
- mrucinsky0 contributionsMemorable walking tour of MelbourneFirst stop on my arrival in Melbourne. Excellent overview of the city, exploration of the laneways, and interesting tips from a local. Fantastic way to get oriented with the city and all it has to offer, I couldn’t recommend enough. Our guide Laura was fantastic and provided a warm welcome to everyone in the group.Written 2 September 2024
- jenicec6070 contributionsGreat Walking TourWe had our walkabout with Dave and he gave us some great historical info and stories of the area to start off our trip to Sydney. We already scheduled a bridge climb and opera tour so he graciously readjusted our walk to other areas of the city. He also gave us suggestions on places to eat.Written 22 August 2024
- Getaway388161157300 contributionsFirst walking tour 👌🙌, loved it, 💯%, 🙏We are in Melbourne for a week and thought we would kick it off with a walking tour to get a lie of the land and Melbourne's history. I have never before done a walking tour though having now experienced one, would thoroughly recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Laura, our guide, is a local. She is knowledgeable and passionate about her home town and we honestly learnt so much that we would have overlooked and not been aware of. It has enriched our visit to this beautiful city 🏙️ ♥️ Thanks so much Laura for your passion!Written 22 August 2024
- juliesO5409HR0 contributions180 minutes of enjoymentAbove and beyond our expectations and thoroughly enjoyable and informative tour. Hugo was our guide who had a warm and welcoming disposition and put us readily at ease from the moment we first met. He got us to introduce ourselves to our fellow walkers from the get go and we were delighted to be sharing this experience with such a lovely group - eight of us in total. Hugo made the whole experience interesting, factual and inter-active. We always try to partake in a walking tour when we visit anywhere new but this was one of the best we have undertaken - thank you Depot Adventures and bravo to Hugo for his enthusiasm and hard work in putting together such a great tour.Written 17 August 2024

Not sure if this was the Tour - this was just myself and a charming Italian lady - and of course, John. I know Melbourne a little (I live in Sydney) but I wanted someone with more insider knowledge. I didn't want to miss Laneways and stuff. John was a great guide and host - even treated us to a coffee part way through and an optional drink in a college bar at the end. In the 3 hours we walked, we say everything I could have wanted - architecture, gardens, shops (and Laneways!) and I came away feeling I really do know a bit more about the City. Highly recommended.

Matilda was our guide. We had a great time getting to know a little about Melbourne through her knowledge and humor of the city. The walking pace could have been a bit more leisurely, so we could enjoy the sights and scenery better.
