This interactive walking tour is a must-do activity for history buffs or visitors looking to explore the historical points of Melbourne. Despite its name, the famous Golden Mile Heritage Walk runs for 4km. So this tour breaks it up - from Federation Square via the Immigration Museum to Town Hall, or Federation Square via Town Hall to Parliament.
Your professional and knowledgeable tour guide will share details and inside secrets into Melbourne’s history and gold heritage as you pass the various landmarks. Tales of early settlers, grand merchants and whacky characters of Marvellous Melbourne will give a glimpse of the city's past.
Midway through the tour, you’ll stop and refresh with a complimentary coffee or tea at one of the city’s trendy cafes. As you breeze along Collins Street, you’ll have the opportunity to peek inside some of the sophisticated interiors such as the Gothic ANZ bank, Melbourne Tall Hall or the Athenaeum.
