Exploring hidden corners Brilliant way to explore the unknown corners of the city. Jay, our guide, was knowledgeable, informative but, most importantly, entertaining. He filled the night with tales from both the past and present. He took us to three bars that we would never have found and tailored them to suit us. The night was filled with laughter, great vibes and cool cocktails. This tour was a highlight of our trip.read moreread less

- Perfect whiskey and gin experience Wow what a fantastic way to explore some beautiful Melbourne bars and taste delicious whiskeys and gins. Brigitte entertained us and informed us of the history at the same time - her knowledge and passion for the subject was amazing. Would definitely recommend the tour.
Special mention to our "nemesis" tour guide Jay who ran the laneway tour at the same time - that's the next tour on the list.read moreread less Janine C18/06/26 - Hidden gems we never knew existed - Right in our own home city!!! Brigitte was an absolute gem of a guide—knowledgeable, passionate, and clearly loves what she does. As people who consider ourselves pretty familiar with the city, we were genuinely surprised by how many hidden gems we discovered right in our own backyard. Melbourne CBD has so many secret spots we never knew existed. A brilliant way to see the city with fresh eyes—highly recommend for visitors and locals alike!

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.
