About this tour
A three-hour private walking tour of Melbourne led by a local guide who steers clear of the usual circuit. You'll see landmark spots like Chinatown, Block Arcade and the National Gallery of Victoria, but the real payoff is discovering the quieter corners and lesser-known stories that locals actually care about. A drink or tasting from a neighbourhood spot is included, and the whole operation runs carbon-neutral with small groups that don't overwhelm the places you visit.

What to expect
Expect a walking-focused experience through Melbourne's streets and laneways. Your guide will point out both the well-known spots you've probably heard of and the quieter places where locals actually spend time. There's plenty of stopping and talking—this isn't a rushed tick-the-box tour. You'll hear stories about the city's character and get a sense of how Melbourne actually functions rather than how it's packaged for visitors. The local treat breaks things up and gives you a genuine taste of what matters in the neighbourhood.
Good to know
