AND HERE'S WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT:

"Today my friend and I enjoyed a great tour of Flemington, MGC & lunch at Ethiad along with checking out lots of the sights of Melbourne with Simon. We would like to pass on to management our delight in having such a great tour guide as Simon. His information about all the sights as well as "typical" Melbourne things that Colleen and I as "Melbournites" had "forgotton about" was outstanding. He made sure everyone knew exactly what they were doing as well.  I was lucky enough to have won the tour through my employer so I will be recommending your tours, especially with Simon to them." Faye & Colleen - October, 2009

 

"The MCG tour was amazing! We were lucky enough to meet Ron Barassi and Jim Stynes who just happened to be in a meeting there at the time, it was an added bonus for us seeing as though we are Melbourne supporters! We could have stayed in the museum for a whole day!"

Emily, Dec 08
