This is a unique insiders-guide to Melbourne. We get to meet and speak with the operators of the city's most established dining and retail scene. Our first stop is a chance to enjoy a breakfast feast at one the city's renowned institutions. I share what makes this particular place so unique and why it continues to stand apart from its competitors as one of the city's best establishments.
Centre Place
Melbourne is home to the most vibrant and bustling cafe and dining scene. Knowing where to go and what to look for is essential. You can easily miss a hidden wine bar or boutique retailer if you don't know what to pay attention to. I show you some of Melbourne's gems as we explore through the city's hidden laneways

Paula gave us an excellent tour. With a love of architecture and history, she gave us quite a lot of information about the growth and buildings of the city through history which complimented the day so much. We ate in the little hidden-away spots that she loves to share and thoroughly enjoyed our time together. It was lovely!

We enjoyed Paula and she was very knowledgeable about the Laneways of Melbourne. Good tour. I would recommend this for someone who wants to get off the beaten path.
