“Amazing”
So, a few weeks back when we hit up Melbourne, we jumped on one of these walking tours. Now, word on the street was to try and snag a tour with a dude named Sam. But hey, we rolled the dice and ended up with his sister, Zoe. And lemme tell ya, no regrets whatsoever!
Zoe was an absolute legend from the get-go. She greeted everyone like we were old mates and actually took a few minutes to have a quick chat with each of us – a seriously nice touch!
The tour itself? Totally buzzing! Zoe's got this awesome, high-energy vibe and a seriously cool way about her. She showed us some sweet spots in Melbourne that we probably wouldn't have stumbled upon ourselves. Big thanks for that, Zoe! We had an absolute blast!
