About this activity

Discover Melbourne’s beauty on a fully private experience shaped around you. Choose a culture-focused walk through atmospheric laneways, historic arcades, striking architecture, street-art corners and tucked-away places, with time for a Melbourne coffee. Or expand your tour into a food-and-drink experience, visiting cafés, bars and eateries suited to your tastes and preferred atmosphere.

Your guide brings the city to life through stories and details many visitors pass without noticing.

Before the tour, we ask about your interests, dietary needs, budget and preferred pace, then tailor the route. Depending on opening days, you may instead choose Queen Victoria Market or an Asian food-focused route.

Ideal for couples, families, mature travellers, returning visitors and curious food lovers, this Private Melbourne Walking Tour offers more privacy and flexibility than a fixed group itinerary. The price covers private guiding; you choose and pay directly for any coffee, food or drinks.
