Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a private tour cost?
The cost of private tours vary depending on the number of people, length and inclusions. If you’re planning on taking a tour with coworkers or friends, it’s best if you get in touch with our team. We’ll guide you through your options and provide you with a custom quote for the tour.
How long do private tours run for?
Our regular tours usually last anywhere from 2-4 hours, however, our private tours can be longer or shorter depending on what you’re after. Just let us know what you’re looking for before you book and we can tailor the tour accordingly.
Is there much walking involved?
This is a walking tour, so there will be walking involved. Generally, there’s only 10 minutes or so of walking between stops. Of course, if you’d rather do less walking (or more!) just let us know and we can plan accordingly.
Do private walking tours include food and drinks?
Private tours are fully customisable. We can add drinks, remove drinks, add food, remove food – the choice is yours. The old caveat is we don’t recommend sit down, more substantial meals as part of your tour. Food really means quick, easily shared platters like charcuterie, chips, etc.
Do you run private tours to areas around Melbourne as well?
Unfortunately, if you’re looking for a private tour guide to take you on a Great Ocean Road Tour or Phillip Island to see some spectacular coastal scenery, or on a brewery tour or winery tour in the Yarra Valley, you’re out of luck.
We specialise in tours of Melbourne, delivering an awesome experience if you’re looking to tour the CBD. If you’re looking for a day trip tour of areas around Melbourne, we recommend jumping over to TripAdvisor.
