Depot Adventures - Melbourne Walking Tours

Our tour guide (Emily) has lived in Melbourne all her life and used her knowledge, charm and humour to bring her home town to life. Her tour of the State Library and explanation of the Ned Kelly's history were particularly well presented and interesting. Those of us on the tour that day now understand that Melbourne has so much more to offer than Sydney. Thank you, Emily.

I started with the bar tour, with Emily. Amazing experience. She's extremely knowledgeable about Melbourne - of course, a natives - and passionate about rhe history and culture of the city. This is not a tour; this is a history and culture class. Also, a great opportunity to make new friend, and try a few drinks not found anywhere else. I strongly recommend it if you are into culture, beers, and drinks. Then 2 days later I did the complete tour, focused on the history, and I got what I wanted: 3 hours of an immersion into the Melbournian history, visiting great locations, learning about the best spots. Should you do both? Yes, for sure! Two totally different experiences!

Hugo runs interesting tours in the city. I just did a hidden bar tour and was introduced to a couple of new bars which I will revisit. His tours are great to do with a bunch of friends and enjoy shared local information whilst walking between the bars.

Sun 28 Sept 2025 completed the Melbourne Walking Tour with Emily. It was a great three hours with the small group, and Emily was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide who clearly showed how passionate she is about her home town. We got to see and experience some very pertinent places that shaped Melbourne's history. Fair bit of walking at a steady pace, so wear comfy shoes, but I would definitely recommend this tour for sure!

What a way to see some of the hidden gems, Melbournes lane ways have to offer. Every bar we went too was intriguing and had a drink for every taste. Ian our tour guide was full of knowledge on drinks & the history of Melbourne. Clearly loves his job and we would recommend this tour to everyone! We had a ball. Cheers!

We did the Melbourne Walking Tour with Hugo. We enjoyed the walk through Melbourne La’s (laneways) and heritage buildings. Hugo was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable in Melbourne history and culture. Overall a great experience and definitely recommend it.

We had an amazing experience on this tour with Hugo! His stories were captivating, and he shared some hidden gems that we would have never found on our own. Time flew! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an engaging and memorable adventure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It was a fabulous tour. I loved that we were a small group. I could ask any questions I liked and I could always hear our guide, Emily, even in the noisiest settings. The tour went through laneways and historic buildings that I never would have found on my own. I learnt a lot about the history and culture of Melbourne. Thanks, Emily. Stellar job!
