This was a fantastic tour, don't go to Melbourne without doing it! Our tour guide was awesome and a wealth of knowledge particularly to me as I have never been to Melbourne before. Not only informative but a great way to see sights of Melbourne you may not get to in a short time. Thanks Viator, had a great morning.

Our tour was cancelled due to the bus diver having a motor bike accident the morning of the tour, we were phoned and offered any alternate tour that afternoonnext day or a refund, as we were leaving melbourne that morning we took the refund.

The tour guide was sensational. Very knowledgeable, friendly and was able to keep the punters interested in her commentary. She is a keeper.

Review by: Lauren H, Australia	May 2010
It was advertised as an underbelly crime tour, yet half of the tour was not related to the underbelly crimes, just Melbourne crime. It was still interesting, but I would have preferred to see more actual sights of the underbelly gangland crimes, rather than places where the tv show was filmed. The only genuine underbelly crime scene we saw was where Mick Gatto shot Benji. For me, the experience of being somewhere where something as significant as this actually occurred cannot even compare to scenes from the show. So much better, you can feel it in your bones. I feel a bit letdown as I was expecting to see more true life sights, to get that chill. Our tour guide was good though, very knowledgeable.

Fascinating experience being "on the spot" where major crimes have happened. The tour guide, was fantastic, very energetic and knowledgeable. She is clearly quite passionate about the subject of crime and is very entertaining.

I think we missed out on the regular tour guide. We are from Melbourne, but if we had have been from overseas I don't think there was enough info on the places we travelled through.

Review by: Anonymous, Australia	March 2010
It was okay. It went on a lot longer than we thought and we had to cut it short due to our limited time in Melbourne. If you have most of the day and are an absolute Aussie Crime buff then definitely do it. Guide was good and very knowledgeable. Had to quickly and discreetly ditch the little bags of "white powder" at the airport which was fun! Ha ha!

We just drove around in a bus, but the old Melbourne Gaol and Watchhouse were good.

Review by: Victoria D, Australia	January 2010
I had my 16 year old grandson with me on this tour, who actually requested that we do it, and I'm very pleased we did it because it was just great, not only did we visit places of interest but we were shown a lot of Melbourne city itself. Worth every penny.
