Anyone used I'm Free walking tours in Melbourne/Sydney

My wife and I will be on Radiance of the Sea in February 2016 and thinking of trying I'm Free walking tours during our day in Melbourne as well during our time in Sydney.

Just wondering what anyone who has used them thought of them and how to get from the cruise port in Melbourne to the start of the walking tour.

YES, we hooked up for this tour in Sydney last year. Worked well. The group was a little large, but our leader had a good personality. He was a teacher who has traveled lots, was excellent in his Sydney/Aussie knowledge and fun, too!! It started at 2:30 pm at their City Hall. It included seeing the Queen Victoria Building (now a three-level shopping area), Westfield Tower, St. Mary’s Cathedral (just finally completed 14 years ago and Australia’s largest), Hyde Park, plus other sights in this sprawling central business district. These areas mixed older, classical buildings from their native sandstone, plus soaring new skyscrapers with innovative designs, etc. Lots of people and activity in these wonderful downtown areas. Learning how their first hospital was built there (from a profit-sharing deal with rum sellers) was interesting. Yes, I rubbed the large brass pig at this historic hospital site. Below are a few photo highlights from this tour around.

More pictures and details on Sydney, etc., is available on my live/blog connected below.

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

Enjoyed a 14-day, Jan. 20-Feb. 3, 2014, Sydney to Auckland adventure, getting a big sampling for the wonders of "down under” before and after this cruise. Go to:

On our last afternoon in Sydney before doing our sail-away, we did a nice walking tour with great details, tips and insights about this town and its interesting history. Our guide was from the “Free Tour” group that works for tips.:

I am planning to us I'm Free Walking tours when in port from Diamond Princess in November.

Getting to where the walk starts will be no problem. There is a huge number of volunteers at the port and in the city (easily found because of their bright vest) who will happily give you directions. No worry. :)
