We really enjoyed the Melbourne Art Deco Architecture Tour with MELtours. Our guide, San, was very knowledgeable and shared so much about the city’s history and its Art Deco buildings. What made the experience extra special was being able to step inside some of the buildings to see the original decorations and furnishings up close—a real bonus. The tour gave us a deeper appreciation of Melbourne’s architecture and heritage and a two hour tour is just right for a Saturday morning stroll. Highly recommended!

Sam is very knowledgeable about Art Deco architecture and well prepared, plus his lived history with the city added a charming angle (we are Melbourne locals too). We both learned a lot as he knows where to look to find the real gems of architecture that people simply walk past every day. Excellent for visitors and locals alike.

John was very knowledgeable and entertaining when showing us the unique Art Deco buildings of Melbourne. It was 37 degrees for our tour but definitely worth it!

Excellent, insightful and educational. This tour exposes one to significant architectural parts of the cityscape often overlooked, and encourages an appreciation of the amazing buildings, their history and particular design intricacies scattered around the city, often hidden in plain sight. Fantastic!
Hi Darren, Thank you for this fantastic review! We are very pleased your time with John, uncovering the Art Deco treasures of Melbourne. Best wishes from the team at MELTours
I have lived in Melbourne all my life but I had no idea the extent of Melbourne's Art Deco history. Sam was a walking encyclopaedia who was able to answer any question thrown at him. We were given enough time to appreciate the buildings inside and out. We cannot wait to book in our next Meltour.
Hi Maria S, Thank you so much for this great review. We are so pleased you enjoyed discovering Melbourne's wonderful Art Deco architecture with San who loves sharing his vast knowledge of Melbourne's architecture. Best wishes, The Team at MELTours
Sam our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the art deco in his town. We appreciated he managed to fit us in after other tours throughout the day. That's a lot of talking! He even kindly took us through extra arcades as spotted on the walk. There was so much to see and it was the perfect way to cover a lot of ground after having just arrived in town. Melbourne has done a great job restoring a lot of historical architecture while introducing a vast amount of stunning modern buildings around it.
Hi ambers, Thank you so much for taking the time to write this great review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your tour with San seeing the fabulous art deco architecture in Melbourne and hearing the back stories relating to this time in the city. Best wishes, The Team at MELTours
