I have had private tours in over 50 cities and this tour has been the most fantastic one to date! Errol is the most knowledgeable tour guide I have met, he is kind, considerate and his knowledge and love for Melbourne is beyond expectation. His car is luxurious with a huge sun roof that allowed us almost a 180 degree view. In a short time he provided me an experience of Melbourne that had me see why it is always voted the most liveable city in the world.
