OverviewDon't limit yourself to the central city! Venture out of the city center and explore greater Melbourne to get the best feel for the city's vibrant culture. In the rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne it's the various boroughs of Victoria's 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 80's punk rock. Imagine the combination of Coney Island and New Orleans with an Australian flair. The perfect location to see one of the world's 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 Melbourne's greatest treasures. The day is yours to explore the boroughs as you please, with the help of your guide. - Please wear comfortable walking shoes. - Public holidays requiring purchase of holiday supplement for 2019 are: November 5th, December 25th and December 26th. - Public holidays requiring purchase of holiday supplement for 2020 are: April 10th, April 11th, April 12th, April 13th, April 25th, June 8th, November 3rd, December 25th, and December 28th. - Peak rates apply to all tours booked for travel between December 20th and January 31st.
