    Ever since Melbourne was a thing, St Kilda was the beach-side day out that was enjoyed by both locals and visitors alike. And it remains as such to this day. Enjoy a stroll along the beach; get a photo outside of Lunar Park; or grab a famed Melbourne coffee from one of the local roasters.

    Nationally Heritage Listed, and operating for over 140 years, the Queen Victoria Market has been the heart and soul of Melbourne for more than a century. An historic landmark spread over two city blocks, it’s a vibrant and bustling inner-city market where you can shop at over 600 small businesses for everything from Australian fruit and vegetables, local and imported gourmet foods, clothing and souvenirs.

Not the usual sights, much better

Published on Feb, 2025

The tour guide was amazing. He never stopped talking during the entire 2.5 hours, giving us all kinds of stories, everything from the flavor of the local neighborhoods to the history of Melbounre as a city and Australia as a country.

Loads to see

Published on Feb, 2025

Went to Melbourne to see a show. Did a city tour which was well worth it. Visit the queen Victoria markets if you can , easy to get there by free tram. Also the old Melbourne goal is not far from the markets. Easy transport from airport by sky bus to the city.

Worth it!

Published on Aug, 2024

Joanne was friendly, knowledgeable and in such good spirits creating a lovely comfortable vibe in the bus. We saw and learnt a lot from the tour, with this being our first time in Melbourne. Well worth it! Thank you Sue

Perfect for first time visitors
