The route was mainly well planned though a little doubling back towards the end, the optional detours were a nice added tour through the city and the little descriptions made them even more enjoyable. Some vendors didn't seem to fully know what was happening when we arrived for pickup and having to bring our own supplies for the picnic at the end made it a little difficult, would have been nice if picnic setup was included in the experience.
Did the Melbourne CBD mystery picnic, massive spread of food and great route to see inner city culture and food scene. Highly recommend!
