About this tour
Navigate Melbourne's CBD on your own terms with this GPS-guided audio walk led by local Mitch. Starting at Birrarung Marr and finishing at Hamer Hall, you'll discover Federation Square, the Block Arcade, and quieter corners most visitors miss. Along the route, Indigenous Gunai Kurnai perspectives and live street music ground the city's story in real voices rather than guidebook generics. Sixty minutes, offline app access, lifetime replay.

What to expect
You'll walk about 2–3 kilometres at your own pace through Melbourne's central grid whilst listening to Mitch's commentary via the VoiceMap app. The audio cues sync with your location, so there's no getting lost. You'll pause at key spots—a heritage arcade, a riverside precinct—where recorded interviews with locals and Indigenous custodians add context. A street musician performs partway through. The whole thing takes an hour if you move steadily, longer if you linger. You're free to stop for coffee, skip sections, or repeat it later.
Good to know
Download the app and audio beforehand for offline use. Bring a charged phone and comfortable walking shoes. The route is flat and suitable for all fitness levels; prams and strollers work fine. No entry fees are included, though most stops are free to view from the street.
