This walking tour was brilliant! Josh clearly has a depth of knowledge that meant that the tour was interactive and tailored to things my friend and I were interested in, rather than just being read from a script. As someone who grew up in Melbourne I had no idea how interesting Fitzroy's history is. I can’t recommend this tour enough.

Josh is very knowledgeable and sets a relaxed, easygoing pace for the tour. There is plenty of time and opportunity for questions and follow-ups or even deviations. It’s a lovely way to learn about the oldest suburb of Melbourne!

I highly recommend Josh and his walking tour of Fitzroy. His knowledge is exceptional, and struck the perfect balance between sharing information while giving you the space to ask questions and truly soak in the neighbourhood's vibrance. If you want to understand the stories that have shaped Fitzroy into the wonderful suburb it is today, this is an absolute must-do!

I attended the Fitzroy walking tour yesterday with a friend who is new to Melbourne. I have lived here for over a decade.
We were both pleasantly surprised by the hidden history and threads that make fitzroy so unique .
The tour guide Josh was relaxed , friendly and most of all very passionate and knowledgeable about the area .
I enjoyed slowing down and taking a moment to appreciate the history & architecture of a usually fast paced Fitzroy environment.

This tour is exceptional!
It struck a great balance between history, architecture, and the people who shaped the area - lots of interesting details and anecdotes. The guide, Josh, is Secretary of the Fitzroy Historical Society and clearly knows and loves the area. He’s a great story teller and welcomed questions and deep dives into everyone’s different areas of interest.
As a local, it really brought Fitzroy’s history to life for me. I’d recommend it to locals and visitors alike. A fun and fascinating way to spend an afternoon.
