Probably the best tour for any first timer in Melbourne. Rhonda was exceptionally knowledgeable and took her time to explain the layout of the city and the history of Melbourne. By the time we finished the tour, I moved around the city like a pro. I could find my way around without asking for directions. Thank you very much Rhonda.

The weather wasnt very cooperative at our initial start time and our host Maeve was very flexible with changing the time by 2 hours. Mauve is very passionate about Melbourne and its rich history and stories. It was a very informative and interesting tour that icluded alot of walking. It was a pleasure being on a tour with such a passionate host.

Mike was an amazing guide around Melbourne and customized our experience to our specifications. From start to finish he was a class act, very knowledgeable and showed us hidden gems you would never know about just walking around without a guide. I highly recommend this tour and it worked out perfectly with our cruise in port hours.

Rhonda did a fabulous job planning this Melbourne City tour. She emailed me a few times beforehand to get ideas about my interests for the tour, which was appreciated. She was engaging and informative. I couldn't have asked for anything more and am so glad I was able to do the tour with her. Strongly recommend Rhonda!!!!

What you’ll do

If you are stopping over in Melbourne for just a short time, why not make the most of your adventure and spend it with a local who can show you the sights?

This personalized experience with one of our local Melbourne hosts will be like exploring Melbourne with a friend and, while you may not be able to see the entire city in just a few hours, you can still gain an authentic and engaging impression while forming loads of new memories (and snapping tons of pics for IG!).

Your host will be there to help you actualize any experience you’ve dreamt of in Melbourne. You could visit the iconic sights like Fitzroy Gardens, the architecturally iconic Melbourne Train Station or browse the dozens of unique and quirky eateries and coffee shops lining the lively city streets.

Perhaps you would like to visit a local market where you can pick up fresh fruit and vegetables, preloved treasures, and street food, or check out the city's colorful street art?

And if you get hungry you could always wander into a local eatery for an authentic taste of Melbourne, or sit down to chat with your host over a cuppa at a hip and trendy cafe.

Melbourne caters to everyone and the opportunities to embrace its beauty, culture, and heritage are everywhere - you just need to know where to look.
