We are Depot Adventures.
Bespoke tours given by passionate and experienced guides.
Depot is proud to offer local tours given by guides who know and love their city. Their passion will shine through as they take you on a journey through history and modern culture, showing you local spots and under-the-radar points of interest.
Both local and international, our guides each have years of experience leading tours throughout Europe and the rest of the world. They bring their own fascinating individual stories to put a personalized spin on what their city means to them through their tours.
What are we about? Walking tours done differently. What does that mean? It means that we help you truly appreciate our cities without ever feeling like a tourist.
Our staff are part tour guide, part new best friend. They come from all walks of life: tattoo artists, stand-up comedians, musicians, and even the odd accountant. They bring their own unique view of the city, and they’re here not just to share information, but to listen to your interests.
How do we mean? No two Depot experiences are the same, and we don’t work with pre-written scripts. We listen carefully to our guest’s interests, the weather of the day, and the hot spot of the moment, and adjust our walk to give you the best experience possible on the day you join us.
There’s a method to our madness. We’re consistently the top-reviewed tour company wherever we operate.
So welcome to our humble website, have a poke around. Bon voyage!

A year off that never ended.
Depot was founded by “American John,” a European Tour Leader who went overseas for a year only to never return. He spent years working in tour guiding, branding, and operations for a plethora of international travel companies through Europe, the US, and Australia.
John was inspired by all the free walking tour companies in Europe, and wanted to bring the concept over to Australia after moving here. He has since hired a top-notch team of international guides who share his passion and enthusiasm for sharing the magic of the city they love.
