"Great Stories and Laughs with Dave, Our City Tour Guide!"
We had the pleasure of exploring Melbourne with Dave W, our funny and chatty city tour guide. From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in for an entertaining and informative experience. Dave’s knowledge of the city’s history was impressive, but it was his storytelling that really brought Melbourne’s past to life. He had a knack for weaving fascinating nuggets of information into every stop, from the city's origins to quirky facts about its hidden laneways.
What really set the tour apart, though, was Dave’s sense of humor. He kept us all laughing with his witty jokes, lighthearted banter, and funny anecdotes.
We got to see parts of Melbourne we might have otherwise missed — from historical landmarks to secret spots that only a local would know about. But it wasn’t just about sightseeing; it was about connecting with the city’s rich and vibrant history, all while having a good laugh along the way.
Thanks to Dave, we left the tour with not just a deeper appreciation for Melbourne, but also a few great jokes to tell ourselves!

Had a great tour with Go West, our guides Hilda and Bill were so knowledgeable and made the tour really interesting. They also answered everyone’s questions giving advice on other things to do in the City. Would highly recommend, lots of stops and a great way to see the highlights of Melbourne in a short time.

A beautiful city with excellent network of public transport and varied activities to choose from . Sightseeing includes dockyards, botanical gardens, Parliament Street , St Kilda beach , federation square , shrine of remembrance to name a few and all these places are within the City limits . One just needs to buy a travel card .

Rachel and Jules were our tour guides very friendly and happy. Rachel kept the tour entertained with her lovely witty and funny remarks about Melbourne and its landmarks. Would reccomend the tour any time well worth the 3.5 hours. Providing a coffee and the famous Krispy donught at the start of the tour would be a great touch.

Bob was a terrific tour guide, he was knowledgeable & I learnt alot about Melourne. A 'Ferrari' zip around Albert Park circuit. A pause for thought at the Shrine of Rememberance & told to take a look inside the ANZ back at the beautiful architecture. Best 3 hour tour that was extremely entertaining.

From our meeting point, which was easy to get to, our guide Felix, was a star! Great banter and amazing knowledge of the city and districts. Wifi on the bus was a definite bonus. At the end of the tour we asked Felix his to get to Victoria market, he very kindly showed us by dropping us off! Hope you don’t get into trouble for that Felix! Thank you again for making our day memorable, Sydney and Sally.
