Melbourne. A fascinating city, its history, alleyways, food, and street art. A ‘must-do’ tour. - Wow.l This tour is an absolutely ‘must do’ when visiting Melbourne. Our tour guide Laura was absolutely the best. We learned so much about Melbourne and were especially grateful for the introduction to the fascinating Victorian shops and then the alleyways that express everything from outstanding street food thru fascinating street art. When coming to Melbourne you start with this tour and you’ll absolutely understand and fall in love with this wonderful city.

Great Intro to Melbourne - Brilliant introduction to Melbourne by the fantastic Laura - a warm, charismatic person whose love of and pride in Melbourne shone through. She took us places we wouldn’t have had the confidence to go on our own and explained the history and architecture really well. Highly recommended, thank you Laura!

A very enjoyable tour. - My husband and I really enjoyed this walking tour lead by Laura who was so engaging and entertaining. She lead us to areas of Melbourne which we would have avoided- back streets full of graffiti, however she explained the importance of street art in Melbourne- it was fascinating. She took us to some of the beautiful arcades in the city and explained their history as well as other historic buildings. She gave us interesting facts about the foundation of the city as well as tips on Australian slang. There were pauses for coffee, bathroom breaks and at the end a refreshing beer (other drinks were available) at a traditional pub. All, in all a very enjoyable tour.

Melbourne Meander with a Pro😀 - The tour exceeded my expectations! The guide had a wonderful sense of humor, keen ability to remember names of everyone touring, and was very knowledgeable of the City. I highly recommend this tour if you have about three hours to check out multiple facets of the city!

Do Not Hesitate - excellent tour! - Laura was such a knowledgeable, fun tour guide! We visited historic and just fun places. She definitely made us want to come back to Melbourne for a longer visit - we were here for just one day. The small lane ways and street art were so interesting and cool. The coffee shop and pub stops for coffee and beer/cider were a bonus as well - both so yummy. Book this tour!
