Tristen our tour guide was amazing. His knowledge of the people and history of Fitzroy, Collingwood & Carlton was mind boggling. He brought the suburbs to life with his detailed observations and anecdotes. Loved the street art stories too. We didn’t want to leave at the end of the day! Thank You Tristen.
