Such a great tour! Jamie was really knowledgeable and brought the history to life with his stories. He told us little known tales of the gold rush and showed us some hidden places. I wish history was like that back in school. Highly recommended.

My wife & I spent a morning with 5 other people on Bendigo Guided Tour. Can honestly say we really enjoyed it. Lots about the history of Bendigo dating back to start of the goldrush starting at the lovely Rosalind Park in the heart of Bendigo. Would recommend it to anyone visiting Bendigo for the first time.

Fantastic day out touring some of the amazing sites of Bendigo. The history and stories were fabulous and gave context to the different areas of interest. Love the history of Bendigo and hearing tales of the miners and people who made the town what it is today. Highly recommended!
