Kickstart your trip to Melbourne

What you'll do

Magnificent, magnetic Melbourne - what an incredible place! You’ll join one of our local Melbourne hosts, a fun and passionate local (as they all are), as they show you their cosmopolitan city in a bespoke experience tailored just for you!

Exploring a new place should never feel intimidating, and with your host by your side, it never will. Orientate yourself among the enchanting street art, vibrant laneways, and arcades as you wander the lively streets lined with dozens of hip cafes and eateries, familiarising yourself with the many faces and stories of the city.

Choose your transport; do you feel like walking to map out the city in your head a little or would you like to take the opportunity to get to grips with the tram network? (It’s excellent though, you’ll be cruising like a local in no time).

Ask the 101 questions we know you’ve been dying to ask as you get to grips with the ins and outs of life in Melbourne, and you’ll feel right at home in no time at all.

    Gaurav was great - knowledgeable, friendly and on time. We learned a great deal about the city as well as the life of the people there.

    Very enjoyable morning on our half day private tour. I would highly recommend making sure a car is available to your group-the city is too big with too many great things to see.
