The Best Walking Tours in Melbourne (Updated 2025)
"On Intrepid's 2.5-hour Multicultural Markets Culinary Culture Tour I discovered the wealth and diversity of Melbourne's food markets, celebrated the city's food culture, stopped at sites including the famed Queen Victoria Market, met vendors, sampled products, and left with a full stomach and a deeper knowledge of the city's diverse food scene; tours start at 58 AUD." - Matthew Kepnes
We found this walking tour online and it had incredible reviews. We have been on walking tours before so we were intrigued to see how this one would compare. We were far from disappointed. Hugo, our tour guide, is truly passionate about his beloved city of Melbourne. He was full of trivia and proudly showed our group areas we would not find on our own. The museums and Lane Ways are truly unique to Melbourne and those alone made the walking tour awesome. Adding on the coffee shops and explaining the coffee culture was a great value added. We recommend this tour to start your visit so you can plan around what you see. This was one of the best walking tours we have been on.

We loved the Complete Melbourne Walking Tour with Ian from Depot Adventures! His passion for Melbourne and wealth of local knowledge made the city come alive. We left with plenty of ideas to explore on our own and had a fabulous time. Highly recommend this tour—and don’t forget to wear your favorite pairing of comfy walking shoes!

A wonderful three hours spent with Hugo our tour guide who was incredibly well informed, humorous and knowledgeable. It was a great way to learn about the laneways culture of Melbourne and to find out not just the best spots to go and see around the City but also the back stories you just don’t hear from going out and about on your own.
Just be wary asking Hugo to take a photo as he loves to play jokes on you… seriously, he is a very funny tour guide and great value!

Such a great experience and tour! Thanks to our awesome tour guide Hugo! Friendly, knowledgeable, and funny, and too kind, went out of his way to shout more coffee for the group as I thought it was a Coffee tour ! Have fell in love with Melbourne all over again after our guided tour. I am definitely booking in for the Cocktail tour with my hubby soon.

I did 2 tours, including the Laneway and cocktail tour and both were simply fabulous. Hugo was a highly knowledgeable & entertaining guide who is full of humour & wisdom.
I can't recommend these tours enough - especially if you're new to Melbourne.
Book it now - you won't be disappointed! :-)

We did a Laneway Hidden Bar tour at the weekend. It was a rainy Sun after a late Sat night for us. Hugo made it such an enjoyable and easy 3 hours before our flight back. Thank you Hugo - we'll visit your Brewery when we're next in Melbourne!

Melbourne Guided Night Time Food Walking Tour
Top tip - book this tour for the first day of your stay in Melbourne so you have plenty of time to revisit on the amazing places to eat and drink!
The night I booked, I was the only person - Hugo kindly offered me the following day with a group, a refund or a unique private tour. Due to schedule, I was unable to rebook so went for the personal tour.
Hugo was very knowledgeable and great company for the evening. He tailored the tour so l had the best experience ever. We were welcomed at all restaurants and bars visited which enriched the evening.
At the end of the evening, Hugo marked off all the places we'd visited on a map so I was able to return at my leisure.
This tour is a definite must whilst in Melbourne and my favourite one of them all. Thank you

The city of Melbourne is one of the best cities in the world and Hugo showed us why. The culture, vibe and history of Melbourne is on show with everything we experienced. Hugo was very knowledgeable and humorous. Highly recommend!
