Step into the past with this small-group ³Ô¹ÏÍø history walking tour, limited to 10 guests for a more personal and engaging experience. Over two hours, you’ll uncover surprising stories and hidden histories — from the city’s riverside beginnings to the landmarks, laneways and institutions that define it today.

Starting near the Yarra River, the walk explores early European settlement and ³Ô¹ÏÍø’s rapid transformation. You’ll visit sites of ambition, protest, injustice and reform — often overlooked in traditional histories.

Highlights include the city’s original morgue, political unrest, and the gaol that once held Ned Kelly. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, the tour is intimate and conversational, with plenty of chances to ask questions.

Tours start at the Immigration Museum and finish near the Old ³Ô¹ÏÍø Gaol, following a mostly flat route with regular stops.
