What to expect

After you book, a questionnaire arrives within a day asking what draws you in—street art, coffee culture, hidden bars, architecture, whatever speaks to you. Your assigned host reviews your answers and proposes a route tailored to those interests. You'll exchange details to nail down a meeting point and start time. On the day, expect a genuine conversation rather than scripted commentary. Your host knows the city intimately and steers you toward the real Melbourne: independent galleries, tucked-away lanes, local favourite haunts. If something catches your eye or you'd rather skip ahead, simply say so. It's not a rigid schedule.
