Ehi, sono Sam! Sono una guida turistica come parte della comunità dei free walking tour gratuiti ormai da alcuni anni, e ne amo ogni minuto e spero che lo faccia anche tu. Ho vissuto e respirato Melbourne per una parte significativa della mia vita e amo i lati nascosti e intriganti di Melbourne che la rendono una città così vivace. Non vedo l'ora che tu venga con te in un tour per imparare alcuni nuovi lati di Melbourne e farti una risata lungo la strada!
It wasn't actually Sam but Toby who took our tour today (our first morning in the city). He made a point of going round to greet each member of the group personally, asking their name and home country. I thought this made the whole tour more personal and enjoyable as a result. Toby was very knowledgeable about the places he took us to in the heart if the city, as well as Melbourne more generally. He made a few jokes and told some amusing stories related to the tour locations which kept it light and enjoyable as well as interesting. Most, if not all the group completed the 2.5 hour tour which says a lot about how Toby kept us all engaged. We had a wheelchair user in the group and Toby made sure he advised her and her companions if we had to climb up any steps and redirected them via a step free route and ensured they had time to rejoin. It was a great introduction to Melbourne for us and we gave Toby a decent tip and saw most of the rest of the group do the same. I am sure was very well deserved. Thanks Toby.
