What you’ll do

Melbourne is a colorful hub thriving with cultural and artistic diversity - anyone who has visited this lively city will tell you that its vibrant energy is what gives this place its unique character. That, and its Antipodean coffee culture and penchant for craft brews. You’ll join one of our local Melbourne hosts to experience what makes Melbourne so unmissable - a tall order in just one day!

We know it’s not enough time to see all of the must-see spots, but you can try to squeeze in as much as possible.

Although really, it all comes down to what you think is unmissable - do you already have a list of spots you’ve been dying to visit, or would you like to leave it up to your host to share with you what they think is unmissable about their city?

Soak up the city's laid-back lifestyle, mingle with the locals, and plug into the energy of Melbourne. You could visit trendy neighborhoods in the northern suburbs, stroll through the CBD and see iconic architecture and historic spots along the Yarra River or let your host take the reins completely, we know they’ll always have a surprise or two up their sleeve!

    A really great walking tour. Donna was fantastic. She knew a lot about Melbourne and took us to all the places we wanted to see and some extra places. It was very interesting and we learnt a lot. Thank you Donna for a lovely experience.

    Our five hour trip was interesting and informative. We came away from it feeling that we had seen the essence of Kyoto and in a very short time had a much better understanding of this lovely city. Our guide, Alvin, was excellent.

    Thanks to my local guide, Ack I felt safe in this bustling metropolis that can be intimidating for those who don’t speak or understand Japanese. Ack expertly navigated the city and its various public transportation systems with ease. He made sure I got to see everything on my list.
