Top Experiences
Hosier Lane
Melbourne’s most famous laneway and the heartbeat of the city’s street art scene. Every wall tells a different story – and it changes every time you visit.
Brighton Beach
Colourful beach huts, golden sand and the Melbourne skyline shimmering across the bay. One of those spots that looks unreal in photos and even better in person.
Point Ormond
The most iconic sunset spot. Stand at the top of the hill and take in elevated views over Melbourne’s city skyline stretching out behind you.
Queen Victoria Market
One of the largest markets in the Southern Hemisphere. Fresh food, local produce, souvenir stalls and the early morning energy that makes you feel like a Melburnian.

Welcome to Melbourne!
Welcome to Melbourne! Tonight we’re not letting you sit in your room scrolling through your phone. Meet your guide and your new travel family over a welcome dinner on the banks of the Yarra River, then raise a glass with riverside drinks as the city lights up around you. This is how your Australian adventure begins.
Landing a few days before? No worries! Your airport pickup is included and can be arranged for any time on any day before the tour.
Need extra nights accommodation? You can book these at checkout.
Discover the Cultural Capital
Today we show you why Melbourne is unlike anywhere else in Australia. Your morning takes you through the CBD and into Hosier Lane – a hidden laneway filled with floor to ceiling street art. Everywhere you look, you’ll spot something new and with new pieces appearing overnight, you could be the first to view the latest artwork!
From there your guide will take you on an Aboriginal Heritage Walk to learn about the Wurundjeri people and the deep history of Naarm – Melbourne’s traditional name – long before the city skyline existed. It’s one of those experiences that genuinely changes the way you see the place you’re standing in.
The afternoon is yours to spend at ACMI (Australia’s Centre for the Moving Image), or the NGV, the largest art gallery in the Southern Hemisphere. Then the day closes out in Chinatown. One of the oldest in the world, lantern-lit streets and some of the best food you’ll eat in Australia.
Your Day, Your Way
Today is your opportunity to get out of the city and tick off an iconic slice of Victoria right on Melbourne’s doorstep. You and your group can add on a guided day trip to the Great Ocean Road – the most famous road trip in the world! Dramatic coastal cliffs, ancient rainforest and the legendary Twelve Apostles rising out of the Southern Ocean. Add it on at checkout when booking this tour.
Not doing a day trip? Melbourne is still yours to explore. Your guide will set you up with a list of recommendations for places outside your itinerary to discover on your own terms, with or without your group.
And if you’re on a Working Holiday Visa, everything you need is in your FREE optional Welcome Pack.
If you want to go deeper on anything, a 1-on-1 with a member of our team is available whenever suits you – today, tomorrow or any time during your stay in Melbourne.
Brighton Beach to St Kilda
Think Melbourne is just a metropolitan city? Think again! In fact Melbourne’s coast line is stunning and has a completely different atmosphere to the CBD. We start at Brighton Beach, most known for its iconic and individually designed bathing boxes, from there we’ll walk along the coastline to St Kilda with a halfway stop at Point Ormond for the best city skyline view in Melbourne.
Once we reach St Kilda, you’ll have some free time to explore the sunny seaside suburb before finishing the day with drinks as the sun drops over the ocean.
Queen Victoria Market & the City
This morning kicks things off at Queen Victoria Market – one of the largest open air markets in the Southern Hemisphere. Here you’ll find fresh produce, incredible coffee and souvenir stalls aka one of the best places to purchase the classic ‘Australia’ t-shirt!
In the afternoon we’ll head up the Skytower for a panoramic view across the whole city, then the afternoon is yours – State Library, museums or just soaking up the city before dinner in the CBD.
Keep the Adventure Going
Your Welcome to Melbourne tour might be over, but your Australian adventure is just getting started. Here’s how to keep it going:
