About this tour
A local Melburnian pairs with you based on shared interests to design a bespoke walking tour of the city. Complete a brief questionnaire after booking, and your host will map out an itinerary that reveals pockets of Melbourne most visitors miss. Choose between 3, 8 or 8 hours, meet at a central location, and adjust plans on the fly as you explore neighbourhoods, laneways, and corners that genuinely matter to the people who live here.

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.
Good to know
