We celebrated our belated 32nd wedding anniversary with breakfast at Cafe 1932 & the tour of the lovely Manchester Unity Building. The whole experience was lovely & would definitely recommend this!

I found the building tour and restaurant meal to be excellent. The tour guide Chloe Martin was informative and personable, it was a delight to be shown the different floors with all of their art deco splendour. The boardroom and associated offices were a thing of beauty. Also a thank you to Dr Kia for his foresight and persistence in bringing back the internal beauty of the building. One can live in a city for a lifetime and go by the same buildings everyday and not see the hidden treasures that it contains.

We celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary with a wine and cheese experience at Cafe 1932 followed by a building tour. We started with three cheeses and matching wines followed by a delicious cake and coffee. The best was yet to come with an exceptionally interesting and informative tour of the history of the building. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience! Thanks everyone

Hello, thank you for an epic day. We celebrated my girlfriend's birthday in style. The restaurant experience was delightful. The tour guide was full of information. The building is just so charming and the restoration work amazing. We loved the chandeliers, table lamps, art deco objects. All in all, a most enjoyable day.

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch tour today of this fabulous Art Deco building. Chloe was a delightful and informative guide. Thankyou to Dr Kia Pajouhesh for rescuing this iconic building. Amazing to live in a city all your life and still so much to see.

Well what a tour. Chloe was a wealth of information and a delight as a tour guide. I have loved this building and when I was a teenager had my hair appointments there with my sister. The Art Deco lights and interior design have always fascinated me. How blessed are we to have had men with such grand visions which are now being carried on by Kia and the other tenants of the building. Well done and thank you for refurbishing and upgrading to bring the building back to its former glory. A tour is a must if you have an interest in the history of Melbourne. Thanks so much.

Sunday 9th July 10:15 tour. Well done to the staff for a lovely breakfast. It was spot on. Kim and Chloe did and excellent job on the tour. It was fascinating to hear all about the building and how It only took 8 months to build!! The restoration was amazing. And that took 8 months too!! Loved going on to the roof top for a different view of the city. I wish we could have gone up into the tower. Thank you to every one involved. It was an amazing and interesting morning.

Hello, my name is Beverley Bovell my friend and I went on the Breakfast Tour this morning . What a wonderful day we had, at the Manchester Unity Building. Firstly breakfast was lovely with the staff to the Bubbles and then breaky. I was very impressed with Chloe and Kim. Chloe was very knowledgeable she made the tour so enjoyable. I grew up in a fibro house in Maidstone, which had deco features. I loved my day, at Manchester Unity.

My Grandfather was Grand Secretary Walter Best. I will be booking a tour as we have heard a lot about his time with IOOF.

Does any one remember the Booth in the foyer on the right hand side of the lifts.? It belonged to Decane's Hairdresser on the 3rd Floor. I sat in it and took appointments .
