Melbourne Lanes and Arcades Walking Tour

Experience what beautiful Melbourne has to offer on a small group guided walking tour to quaint shops, cozy cafes, and down wondrous lanes and arcades. A modern shopping tour for everyone, your three hour tour will reveal local designer fashion, hand made jewelry, contemporary gallery spaces and basement bookstores. Before concluding your lane and arcade parade through Melbourne, you'll be rewarded with lunch, a glass of wine and a goodie bag.

Many of the boutiques you will visit are owner operators, so you'll find refreshing customer service, and attention to detail of past decades. There are a few stairs to justify the hot chocolate you'll croon over at morning tea - it is a walking tour after all! Your local guides, with over 50 stores to share, are keen to show you things you have not seen before, so no department stores or world famous big brands are on the radar - there's no secret there!

With a sense of intimacy and comfort, be guided in small groups of two to eight, where a little history, and attention to amazing architecture makes this mid morning walk inspirational to locals and visitors alike. This is not a discount tour, - no koalas or buses to be seen! - instead its a shopping tour that's really an experience - a mini holiday in under 4 hours, yet blending in with the locals. Indulge at morning tea at 11am, stroll past the city chaos at noon, and linger over the gourmet lunch from 1pm as you ponder how you are going to fit everything you could but into your bags!

With so much to remember and yet more to discover don't forget to leave free time to return to those you like best in the afternoon, making a day of it in Marvelous Melbourne!! All tour guests receive a designer hidden secrets goodies bag, and the tour is concluded with a gourmet lunch and glass of wine. The city has never looked so good!
