Melbourne isn’t just a city — it’s a lifestyle. Known for its ever-changing murals, rich café culture, and alternative vibes, this private tour offers a deep-dive into the city’s creative core. With a local guide, you’ll wander laneways brimming with artistic energy and caffeine-fueled culture.
Start your morning with a cup of Melbourne’s best flat white — but not from a chain café. Your guide knows exactly where to find the hidden roasters and hole-in-the-wall gems that serve the city’s most authentic brews. Learn about the history of Melbourne’s Italian coffee influence and how local baristas helped spark a global specialty coffee movement.
Next, explore the city’s famous street art laneways: AC/DC Lane, Hosier Lane, and Union Lane. Your guide will decode the graffiti, murals, and stencil works, some of which carry political messages, social commentary, or tributes to Melbourne legends. You might even see street artists at work — this is a living gallery.
If you’re interested in shopping or fashion, your guide can take you into boutique design studios and local fashion collectives that define the city’s style. Or, visit an independent gallery to meet artists and see what’s next on Melbourne’s cultural radar.
This experience is perfect for creatives, food lovers, and anyone who wants to skip the typical tourist trail. With a guide who lives and breathes Melbourne’s underground scene, you’ll feel like a local in one of the world’s most artistic cities.
