Street Art and Fantastic Galleries

We joined the “Art Tour of Melbourne” and had a fantastic time. The tour was well structured, informative and gave us a look at street art and galleries we never would have found on our own. What really set it apart, though, was Kathy our guide. Walking through the city with her felt a little like being escorted by a local celebrity: every gallery owner seemed to know her. The warm welcomes made the experience even more special. Highly recommended for anyone looking to see a side of Melbourne’s art scene that you’d otherwise miss.

Operator response

Dear Ethan and Natascha, Thank you for submitting this great review! We are glad you enjoyed your tour with Kathy. She certainly is very passionate and knowledgeable about her hometown and its many 'hidden' places. Thank you for your recommendation! Best Wishes from the MELTours team

A TOUR ABOVE AND BEYOND!

We were a group of 7 who thoroughly enjoyed this tour so much, we then went on to do the Hidden Bars tour as well! If you think you know Melbourne, think again.....our guide took us to places that you probably walk past every day & would have no idea of the secrets that exist behind the facades. If history is your passion, this is a must! Our guide was incredibly well informed, respectful, knowledgeable and accommodated our every wish. The street art was amazing - our guide knew almost every artist, and laneways that again, we would have walked past. The "hidden" bars were very much hidden (well, most of them)! They were each their own unique experience ! We had a fantastic day/night, one we will never forget! Thank you Meltours for your insight and education! I could not recommend this company more highly!
