"Awesome Tour"
"My wife and I were on a tour of Australia starting in Melbourne. We wanted to get a good idea of the city so we could decide on attractions to do later in the week.
Our group ended up having 4 couples of various ages and backgrounds.
Hugo did a great job of getting us all introduced and keeping conversation going. BY the end of the tour we well all chatting easily and getting along very well.
The tour itself was great. We got a interesting history facts. We were shown great places to eat, drink, shop etc. Hugo gave a good perspective on navigating the city. We had amazing coffee at Degraves Espresso and then a great lunch at the Melville tavern.
Everything ran on time and was really great.
At the end of the tour our guide drew out a map of route with notes so everyone could take a picture. He gave additional recommendation for food and attractions which we did visit on our other days and enjoyed.
Highly recommend."

"Laneways Landmarks and Creative Colour"
"Beau was a joy! Super informative with a bit of humor tossed in.
The tour was a mixture of culture and colour through the funky street art laneways and sophisticated arcades with a Melbourne coffee added to keep us on our toes.
Thanks Beau, you are a credit to the Company😁"

"Hidden Laneways Awesome Experience"
"John was our American/Aussie guide who immediately made us all feel welcome & relaxed.
A great group of people meandering around some truly dodgy laneways to discourse some awesome gems of bars.
A really fun way to spend a beautiful day in the gorgeous city of Melbourne. My 2nd time, not my last!"

FAQs
Have questions?
Here you’ll find answers to some of the most common things we’re asked about our tours, from timing and weather to group bookings and what to wear.
If you don’t see what you’re looking for, feel free to get in touch and our team will be happy to help.
What should I wear?
comfortable, weather-appropriate, and ready for a few hours on your feet.
Wear comfortable clothing and shoes suitable for walking around the city.
We recommend avoiding high heels, as there’s a fair bit of walking involved. Beachwear isn’t advised either — we sometimes like to go into buildings that require covered shoulders.
How long is a typical tour?
Most of our tours run for around 2.5 – 3 hours, which we find is the perfect amount of time to explore, walk, stop for a drink and soak up the atmosphere without feeling rushed.
For private and corporate bookings, timings can be adjusted slightly to suit your schedule — just let us know what you have in mind.
What if it rains?
We still go ahead! Melbourne weather is part of the experience, and our guides are great at adapting the route when needed.
If it’s looking a little gloomy, we recommend wearing warm, dry clothing and bringing a raincoat or umbrella. We’ll do our best to keep walking sections covered where possible, and our guides are always looking out for the group to make sure everyone stays comfortable — rain or shine.
Can I book a tour for a stag do, hens party, birthday or work group?
Absolutely! However, we keep our public tours open to the public as the group sizes are capped.
We’re more than happy to host groups like this on our personalised private tours.
These are 3 hours tours we tailor specifically to your group’s requirements and interests. Get in touch on our private tours page and we’ll help design the right Melbourne experience for your group.
How big are the group sizes?
We cap our public tour group size at 12 people to ensure each person has the chance to have a personal experience with the tour guide and one another.
Need a bigger group or a more personalised experience? Book a private tour.
How much walking will there be?
We walk for around 2-3 miles over the course of 3 hours in Melbourne, which is very flat. With small groups and free trams in the city center, we can accommodate all walking paces and we take two breaks during the tour.
Are you tours accessible/wheelchair/pram/stroller friendly?
Yes they are! As a courtesy, we’d appreciate a heads up as some buildings require notice to make their accessible entrance available to us.
