Overview
This tour works well for cruise guests and hotel guests. Your guide welcomes you, ready to board your private transportation and introduce you to the best of Melbourne! In the rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne its the various boroughs of Victorias coastal capital that makes Melbourne the champion. During the Golden Age of the city, rival communities started to rise side by side and distinctions emerged. Class, nationality, religion and tradition were often at odds and eventually played out in the food, architecture and sports rivalries at the local pubs. Each neighborhood is as lively as ever and your local guide will showcase some of the most interesting aspects on this flexible tour.
St. Kilda is one of the most popular day spots with its seaside location and influences from Eastern Europe to 80s punk rock. Imagine the combination of Coney Island and New Orleans with an Australian flair. The perfect location to see one of the worlds oldest roller coasters and sample the best cheesecake in the city. In South Melbourne, you will explore where young professionals cut deals in local coffee shops famous for their perfectly brewed roasts. Sample some dim sim, a Chinese-inspired meat and vegetable dumpling-style snack on a walk through the South Melbourne Market.
In places like Richmond, Collingwood, and Fitzroy you will walk through areas that have emerged from humble pasts that now stand as some of Melbournes greatest treasures.
The day is yours to explore the boroughs as you please, with the help of your guide. At the end of your tour, you will be dropped off either at your cruise port or hotel.
