My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves when we participated in this tour on a sunny Sunday afternoon earlier in the month. For me it was a chance to build upon my existing knowledge of the early history of Melbourne. However, for my daughter this was the first time she had made any real connection with the origins of her... More

We have been telling everyone about this since Saturday and can't wait to do another one as soon as possible. Our overseas visitors will be in for a treat next time they come over, too as we... More

Loved walking down lanes of Melbourne seeing (and hearing about) street art, finding galleries of all sizes and descriptions and seeing where people can display their artwork (eg old letterboxes) … gotta go on one of these walking tours - they're fabulous. More

We had a wonderful day yesterday walking the streets of Melbourne and learning it's history from the very friendly and well informed Jerome. My uncle introduced Jerome to a mythical "Lord Russell" of Russell St "fame" and the playful banter began and continued throughout the tour, making it light-hearted as well as very educational. It's a two hour walk but... More

Holidaying from Scotland, we took three of the tours led by Jerome (Laneways, Architecture and Cycling) and also Robin's Art Deco tour, during our first week. Together they gave us a really good introduction to many fascinating aspects of the city. Jerome is relaxed, funny and adaptable as well as very knowledgeable and we have revisited areas we saw with... More

A must for visitors and Melbourne residents alike. We have been living in Melbourne for 9 years and took a visitor on this tour- opened our eyes to our city and where we should be looking. Oh and the samples from LIndt were yum! More

Thank you Jeremy Kewley for hosting a very informative and interesting afternoon, the History and Laneways Tour- East. The tour opened our eyes to the rich history and stories behind the making of Melbourne as the great city it is today. Look forward to making another booking to find out more about our great city soon. More

Took this tour as a discounted voucher and it was really good. The guide was engaging, and I learned a lot of things I didn't know about my home town. He showed some great pictures of what the streets looked like and told some interesting stories about early Melbourne events. My very small criticism as a punctuation pedant is that... More

Hello, I am not sure 'small' criticism about English grammar that was 66 words in length compared with the 51 words for the remainder of the review is helpful for other tripadvisor users when they are making a decision on their activities. Placing this comment on a public forum wouldnt be my first choice of redress versus a reply to... More
