About This Experience in Melbourne

This tour explores two of (Naarm) Melbourne’s most characteristic and colourful inner-city neighbourhoods.

Learn about the up’s and down’s of these twin neighbourhoods and some of their most fascinating characters from an infamous criminal turned children's author, passionate football fans, the “Willy Wonka” of Australia, First Nations elders and recent migrants who have helped shape modern Australia. After exploring the evolving arts and live music culture of the area we’ll end with some refreshment and give you plenty of recommendations for places to eat, drink and shop when the tour concludes.
