Melbourne does not reveal itself all at once — it is discovered through hidden laneways, local stories, rich aromas and unforgettable flavours.
This private walking tour is designed for travellers who want to understand Melbourne on a deeper level while enjoying a real taste of the city. Explore atmospheric laneways, historic arcades, street-art corners, cafés, bars and tucked-away foodie spots as your guide shares stories of the migrants, artists and creators who shaped Melbourne.
Along the way, enjoy roasted coffee, pastries, dumplings, Asian flavours, Italian favourites, desserts, local wines, craft beer or cocktails. The route can be shaped around casual cosy places or more elegant venues.
Before the tour, we’ll contact you to understand your tastes, dietary needs, budget and preferences. If you would prefere, the route may also include Queen Victoria Market, or an Asian-only tasting experience.
Price includes guiding service only. Food and drinks are paid directly by guests.

5.00This was a fantastic way to get oriented to Melbourne. What a great city! Ben was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Melbourne, had great stories to share, and made sure I saw parts of the city the big tours don’t take you to. He was also very flexible. Highly recommend!
Would do it again
