Street Art and Fantastic Galleries

We joined the “Art Tour of Melbourne” and had a fantastic time. The tour was well structured, informative and gave us a look at street art and galleries we never would have found on our own. What really set it apart, though, was Kathy our guide. Walking through the city with her felt a little like being escorted by a local celebrity: every gallery owner seemed to know her. The warm welcomes made the experience even more special. Highly recommended for anyone looking to see a side of Melbourne’s art scene that you’d otherwise miss.

Response from the operator: Dear Ethan and Natascha, Thank you for submitting this great review! We are glad you enjoyed your tour with Kathy. She certainly is very passionate and knowledgeable about her hometown and its many 'hidden' places. Thank you for your recommendation! Best Wishes from the MELTours team

A TOUR ABOVE AND BEYOND!

We were a group of 7 who thoroughly enjoyed this tour so much, we then went on to do the Hidden Bars tour as well! If you think you know Melbourne, think again.....our guide took us to places that you probably walk past every day & would have no idea of the secrets that exist behind the facades. If history is your passion, this is a must! Our guide was incredibly well informed, respectful, knowledgeable and accommodated our every wish. The street art was amazing - our guide knew almost every artist, and laneways that again, we would have walked past. The "hidden" bars were very much hidden (well, most of them)! They were each their own unique experience ! We had a fantastic day/night, one we will never forget! Thank you Meltours for your insight and education! I could not recommend this company more highly!

Response from the operator: Hi Vanessa051059 Thank you so much for this great review and your much appreciated recommendation. We are really pleased you enjoyed this customised tour. Melbourne is such a wonderful diverse city and spending time with a guide like San who is both knowledgeable and so au fait with all aspects of this city enables you to discover so many hidden gems. We look forward to seeing you again the next time you are in Melbourne. Kind regards, The MELTours Team

Art Tour of Melbourne: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.

How much does Art Tour of Melbourne cost?

+

Prices start at $129 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Melbourne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Art Tour of Melbourne take?

+

Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Melbourne is not rushed.

Is Art Tour of Melbourne worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Melbourne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Art Tour of Melbourne?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Art Tour of Melbourne suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 13. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Art Tour of Melbourne?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Melbourne can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Melbourne and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Art Tour of Melbourne start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Melbourne within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Melbourne?

+

On Outty we rank every Melbourne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Whisky and Chocolate Tour, Yarra Valley Wine Tour w Exclusive Gin, Cider & Chocolate Tasting, Yarra Valley Wine Tour from Melbourne - Choc, Gin & Good Times. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Melbourne?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Melbourne?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
