Thanks for this review from the Canterbury Neighbourhood Centre...........
"For anyone interested in the local history in and around Canterbury, Melbourne I can highly recommend James' walking tour. James' local knowledge is extraordinary but what makes his tours special is his entertaining and engaging presentation of all the colourful characters behind the historical buildings! There is drama, intrigue and sometimes even a little scandal, which makes for a fascinating tour!
We cannot speak more highly of Canterbury Historical Tours!"
