So glad we booked our tour with Ben
Ben is extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of Melbourne and Victoria. We also really appreciated hearing how he came to Australia from Iran and sharing views with him on world politics. He's a great guide and a great guy. My one recommendation is to book your tour with him as early as possible in your visit to Melbourne. We left it a couple of days which meant we didn't have time to go back for a more detailed look at all the places Ben showed us.

Fun and friendly and flexible
Ben was our guide in Melbourne. He was very knowledgeable, super friendly and showed us all sorts of fun laneways (alleys), special arcades (shopping centers), architectural meaningful buildings and more. He shared interesting facts. Really helped us get a great sense of the city and all it's charm.
Highly recommend this tour with Ben.

Great tour with Ben
We had a great time, touring Melbourne with Ben seeing the secret arcades and alleys that we never would have found without him. He was very knowledgeable and had cute stories. He was a very professional and considerate guide. He worked with us to accommodate times and customized the tour to a pre-determined’must-see’ list. We even got to taste several yummy chocolates and had an incredible hot chocolate.
At the end, then made sure that we saw everything we wanted to and offered us suggestions for what else we needed to see in restaurants
Thank you so much ben for showing us your beautiful city Lisa

Julie is a fabulous guide
Julie knows so much about Melbourne and was a wonderful guide. She took us to great spots. The Victoria Market was amazing. She was super helpful working around my gluten allergy and still providing excellent food options.
