Last Saturday morning Kathy, MELtours guide extraordinaire showed me a Melbourne I may never have discovered if it weren't for her incredible knowledge of Melbourne and her skill in sharing it. The variety of information - covering such diverse things as history, architecture, street art, shopping, food, the quirky and the quaint - made for an absolutely wonderful and eye... More

I spend a lot of time in Melbourne and when my friend suggested we go on this walking tour I just went along with it. Our guide was Kathy and she was simply amazing. We learnt so much about the history of Melbourne, its street art and food cultures, the hidden gems of shops, the architecture and so much more.... More

I'm ashamed to say that I don't know my city as well as I thought I did, but thank God for people like MeLTours who can help me rediscover it anytime !!! Myself and 3 besties did the laneways art tour & suffice to say it was absolutely fascinating. I felt like a was a tourist in my own city... More

This is the second time I have done this tour. I was luck enough to get the brilliant Kathy again as a tour guide. Kathy is so knowledgeable about the inner city laneways and the history of the development of Melbourne it's a pleasure to listen to her. She also varied the tour slightly when she was aware I had...

Although I have been to Melbourne for holidays many times, I thoroughly enjoyed learning so much more about this city from Jerome. We did the Laneways of Melbourne Tour which lasted two and a half hours. The group was small ( 4 of us) and so it was easy to hear all of the interesting facts about architecture, history, local...

I've done two walks with this company so far - the Art walk and the History West. Both were lead by friendly, knowledgeable guides who pointed out interesting and hidden treasures of this beautiful city. Just the best way to find out about Melbourne which is a treasure all its own.

Jerome was knowledgeable. I thought the tour was good, but I was expecting more lanes, back alleys, cafe time, etc. and less arcades/shopping malls. I'm glad we did it. We definitely learned. The group was small, which was great. We did not opt for the lunch/bag option, which I was glad about.

Would highly recommend Meltours City Laneway walking tour. This tour was well worth doing. I discovered areas of the CBD that I had walked around the day before yet completely missed. We covered a larger area of the city than I thought we would which was really good. Jerome was happy to answer any questions. Lunch was nice, although nothing... More
