Most travelers think they’ve seen Melbourne after strolling its laneways and famous streets. But what if I told you the city’s real soul hides in its quiet corners, hidden alleys, and stories only a local can share? Exploring alone, it’s easy to miss the details and history that give Melbourne its unique character. You might leave thinking you’ve seen it all, while the city’s best secrets stay hidden. Our Walking Tour in Melbourne changes that. Your guide adapts to your interests, showing both iconic landmarks and hidden gems. Discover Melbourne’s real heart, beyond the surface.

Amazing walking tour. We loved exploring the city on foot and learning facts about Melboune’s history. I really loved
A very enjoyable walking tour and a great way to see Melbourne for the first time. We discovered some beautiful parts of the city, including a few hidden spots we probably would have missed on our own. The guide was friendly, informative, and made the tour really fun.
We had a really nice time exploring Melbourne on foot. The tour was interesting and relaxed, and our guide shared many great stories about the city.
Rubbish! The tour was cancelled and we were only notified between 1am and 2am in the morning, so we turned up at the meeting point and just waited and waited!!! No confidence at all to rebook!
Unfortunately the local guide changed the meeting time which we accepted, however we waited 30min at the meeting place as directed. We could not locate the guide. Refund promised.
Dear Alison, Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait at the meeting point after agreeing to a schedule change and then be unable to locate the guide. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We will review this incident with our local team to better understand what happened and help prevent similar situations in the future. The full refund has been sent. Have a nice day!
Wonderful walking tour with Calvin. Showed us around the town with a lot of insightful info and stories. Also possible to re-route depending on whether you would like to see more or other sights (we were lucky it was only me and my partner). It was even longer than 2h. Highly recommend also in regards to value for money!
Nic was an excellent guide with a friendly and relaxed style. The pace of the tour was just right and Nic provided interesting information and anecdotes as we wandered past the key sights, both historic and more recent such as the laneway street art. A wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning in Melbourne!
My friend Jenny and I met our guide Nic and the rest of our tour group under the iconic clocks at Flinders Street Station - a perfect meeting place for this kind of tour! Nic was warm and welcoming, and she was very keen to show us around and point out buildings, street art, and laneways in the city that I had never seen before. Nic took the time to share fascinating stories of Melbourne and the characters and events that have shaped this beautiful city - I have lived here all my life and there is still so much to discover! I especially enjoyed hearing more than I already knew about the Ned Kelly-Redmond Barry story. I recommend this tour.
As residing melbournian living in and working in the city, this was a fantastic tour to understand the ins and outs and where and whys of the town preside in.. in a busy working life, I hadn’t got to learn and appreciate the laneways, the artwork and architecture of Melbourne and how it all came about and how too that it is evolving! Melbourne is certainly unique and Nic was able to demonstrate that balance of old and new into the tour! Highly recommend!
Highly informative tour. Very knowledgeable host who has great enthusiasm for her city and its attractions. I loved all the alley ways and lanes that we visited and Melbournes architecture is a beautiful mixture of old and new. Our host had many stories to share with us and the pace of the walk was nice and leisurely. I would highly recommend doing this, and any other walks with Nicole.
