We went on the walk yesterday with Uncle Dan. Although we have been to the Botanical Gardens many times before it was a really good experience to get Uncle Dans take on the plants and history. He was an excellent and funny guide which made for a great experience. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. would recommend it as an essential experience for any overseas visitor.

Nice tour with a great woman! Thanks for the little insight into the world of the indigenous people! Unfortunately, in the areas of Australia we visited, no "New Australians" seem to be interested in it... Thanks again!

A very relaxed but informative tour. Den, our guide, gave us insight to the heritage of the Aboriginal people and touched us with stories and humour.

The aboriginal heritage walk is one of the best things you can go to in Melbourne. It was amazing. The guide (Den) was amazing. He is very friendly and very interesting. I was recommended to go years ago but didn't think much of it. Once I did it I realise I should have gone years ago. This is a must go, and I will definitely recommend this to my friends.
