The tour begins at the site where the Yarra River’s original waterfall once marked the divide between fresh and salt water. This was a place of deep cultural importance to the Wurundjeri people, and later, where European settlers made their first steps inland. From there, the group moves through the city’s laneways, past iconic buildings, protest sites, and landmarks of immigration, ambition, injustice and reform. You'll stop at the site of the city’s original morgue, cross Princes Bridge with views of the area once known as Canvas Town, and trace the footsteps of migrants, bushrangers, workers and early reformers.
Alongside architectural highlights and unexpected details, the tour explores the lives of those who helped shape the city — from families in makeshift gold rush camps to people imprisoned for petty crimes, from factory workers to those fighting for a better Melbourne. You’ll also hear stories of political unrest, shifting neighbourhoods, and cultural contributions that helped define the city’s identity.
This is a small-group experience, led by a knowledgeable guide who brings the past to life through storytelling and conversation. With no more than ten guests per tour, it’s a relaxed, personal way to explore Melbourne’s complex and surprising history.
The tour lasts around two hours and begins on the steps of the Immigration Museum on Flinders Street, finishing outside the Old Melbourne Gaol on Russell Street. The route is mostly flat and on paved city streets, with regular stops for stories, photos, and questions.
Guests are encouraged to wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather. Tours run in rain or shine unless conditions are deemed unsafe, and your guide will ensure the group is well looked after.
Whether you're visiting for the first time or rediscovering your own city, this tour offers a new perspective on Melbourne and the stories woven through its streets.
Private tours are available for schools, conferences, and corporate groups. Please contact us to learn more or request a customised experience.
