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.
Julie is amazing! First we were able to book last minute and she is a great communicator. Then she met us on time and we walked around Melbourne enjoying all kinds of food. When we passed a beautiful old tea shop she changed our tour to be able to have tea and scones. What a great conversation we had with Julie, sharing travel stories. Great time!!!
Our food tour with Julie was awesome! Her food choices were absolutely delicious and varied. She had a wealth of information about Melbourne to share. She was easy to relate to and shared so much more than food with us. We felt comfortable asking her questions about Aussie life in addition to culture and history. We felt like we had a true taste of Melbourne. Would highly recommend this tour with Julie!
