Next, it is time for a tour through the labyrinthine lane ways of Melbourne’s arcades, where you can sit back and chill out with a coffee or duck into some of the artisan shops that can be found here.

In between, we’ll make stops at the Old Melbourne Gaol for an historic encounter with the city, marvel at the incredible architecture of Parliament House and Princess Theatre, and stop off in colourful Chinatown.

There will be plenty of opportunity for you to pick up a souvenir or two along the way. By the time the tour comes to an end, you’ll have had a fantastic introduction to the city and its fascinating culture.
