This tour was very disappointing, especially considering the $89 price. For what we paid, we expected to see more places and have a more complete overview of Melbourne. The number of locations covered was quite limited, which made the experience feel poor value for money. The guide also did not seem very patient when answering questions, which made it uncomfortable to engage or ask for clarification. Additionally, although the description mentioned multiple languages, the tour was conducted only in English. This was misleading and frustrating, as language availability was one of the reasons we chose this tour. Overall, the experience did not match the description and was disappointing both in terms of price and the number of places visited.
