Frequently asked questions

Where does the tour start, and are hotel transfers included?

Meet your guide at Gordon Reserve, the small park with a fountain opposite the Hotel Windsor on Spring Street. Hotel pick-ups and drop-offs aren’t included, so make your own way there at the start time shown for your chosen date.

How long does the tour last, and what happens at the end?

Allow three hours in total. The walking portion usually wraps up around the 2.5-hour mark, then the group settles into a local pub for the included drink and a final chance to ask your guide for recommendations.

What drinks are included?

A Melbourne coffee and a drink at the final pub are included. You can choose beer, soda or cider at the pub, so there’s a non-alcoholic option if you prefer.

Is food included, or should I eat before the tour?

Food isn’t included, so it’s best to eat before you arrive for this three-hour walk. This experience focuses on Melbourne’s stories, laneways and drink stops rather than a sit-down meal.

How much walking is involved, and what should I wear?

Expect about 3 km of walking across the city over three hours. Comfortable walking shoes are essential, and dress for the day’s weather because much of the experience is outdoors.

How big is the group, and can I join on my own?

Groups are capped at 12 and average around four guests, which keeps the walk relaxed and conversational. Solo travellers are welcome, and the small-group format makes it easy to chat with your guide and fellow walkers.

Is the tour better for first-time visitors or locals?

It works well for both. First-time visitors get a helpful introduction to Melbourne’s layout, history and hidden lanes, while locals and repeat visitors often discover stories, cafés and corners they’d walked past before.
