We had 31 tourists in our group, but it seemed smaller. He gave us time to take photos, but didn't make photos the overwhelming reason for our tour. Instead, he gave us a real sense of the city. Rian kept up our pace making sure we were all safe crossing streets. I would highly recommend this tour.

Sam gave us a lot of history and background to his city. Some points of interest visited were: - Old Melbourne Gaol, a former prison where Ned Kelly (a bushranger who was considered both a hero and a villain) was hung, and it's now part of RMIT University and a museum - Princess Theater, where a seat is always left unoccupied in honor of Frederick Federici, and the theater is supposedly haunted by his ghost - Chinatown, the oldest Chinatown in Australia and filled with cheap eats - Federation Square, a large public space great for televising live sporting events as well as for rioting - Flinders Station, the largest and busiest metro station in Melbourne - various alleyways that have cute cafés and restaurants that are prefect for bunch and lunch - street art that's legal at some alleyways

You get your own personal guide essentially, and he's incredibly friendly and knows everything there is to know about the history of the city. I came here from California with 2 of my best girlfriends. We spent most of the afternoon walking around the city and learning about the unique culture of Melbourne. Dave gave us tips on where to eat, drink, and just be merry. We had a blast, and hope to take with us the memories of this beautiful city. LOVED IT.

We booked a Great Ocean Road tour and were so pleased with the tour and our fantastic guide, Eli, that we called the office at lunch time and booked a tour of Melbourne with Eli for the next day. The service from Sue in the office was excellent. She provided expert guidance in helping us select the proper tours given our limited time in Melbourne and made the logistics seamless. The Great Ocean Road tour is a once in a lifetime experience; really worth the long drive, which didn't seem so long with Eli's interesting conversation. Having driven much of the Pacific Coast Highway in California, we thought the Great Ocean Road might be redundant and almost didn't book it; so glad we did - fantastic sights and beautiful animals. The Melbourne tour was fascinating - Eli was especially helpful getting our two college age boys oriented to Melbourne's plentiful offerings. There are so many interesting alleys and hidden gems in Melbourne that we would not have found them without Eli's insider knowledge. Localing Tours is an excellent choice when visiting Melbourne. They really helped make our trip to Melbourne a memorable experience - highly recommended.
