We took two tours with Errol and both were great; 5 star or more. My comments rating the first tour were really based up on both great tours. We highly recommend Errol for both tours. He really know his was around Melbourne and is fun to be with.

Errol rates 6 stars. His knowledge of Melbourne, both secular and Jewish, is evident as he guides, as well as his friendliness and communication skills. Then, add to that his willingness to make additions and changes to the program based on our questions and comments and interests. I give Errol 6 stars.

An excellent tour guide very considerate always asking if this was okay, etc. showed us way more than I imagined. Highly recommend Errol. He had a great gift of gab . We had a lovely day with him.

My husband and I spent a great day with Errol taking in the sights of Jewish Melbourne; unfortunately, today is Easter Monday when much was closed. We did see the Holocaust Museum (Open!) which was a jolt of reality. Many Jews came to Melbourne after WW 2. Errol was extremely knowledgeable about this community. He even managed to get us a bagel and lox at Glick's Bagel Bakery! We had a lovely and informative day… thank you, Errol.

Our tour focused on Jewish Melbourne after a brief drive in the city. Our group of 4 would agree that Errol was both knowledgeable and fun to be with and I would recommend him. He shared a lot of Jewish info as we drove by some synagogues and went into St Kilda Congregation. With a little more advance planning (for security reasons), we probably could have also gone to Toorak Synagogue. We spent time at a great Jewish bookstore/gift shop, had lunch a bagel shop, and drove around some nice neighborhoods.

Although our tour didn't start until 7 pm, due to the late arrival of our ship (was scheduled for 1pm), Errol made the best of our time. Besides being informative of the Jewish scene in Melbourne he also showed us the city at night?! Quite and experience, but mostly his sense of humor and friendliness made it fantastic! "But wait! There's more!"
