The finer details:
- Tour is weather contingent - a full refund will be processed if we can't go ahead due to inclement weather.
- The tour runs for roughly 1-1.5 hours. We find any longer is a bit too exhausting for everyone and we pack a lot in to this timeframe. We are happy to organise longer tours on demand.
- Our artist tour guide will answer any and all questions you have so come armed! If they don't know the answer we can always find it out for you.
- We meet on the Flinders Street front steps to St Paul's Cathedral (cnr of Flinders and Swanston Streets opposite Fed Square).
- Tour starts at 10am sharp - we recommend getting there a little early (five minutes or so).
- Our guides are also great local resources for good places to eat, drink or get your caffeine fix in the city and around Melbourne so don't be shy - ask them for their hot tips.
- We cap tours at 15 ppl to keep things personal.
- Melbourne's laneways are constantly changing. The art in these spaces is pretty ephemeral so even if you've done a tour before you're guaranteed to see some new art and learn some new things on this one.
- We are fully insured for this activity and carry public liability insurance for $20 million.
- Kids are welcome to come along for the tour. Kiddies under 12 are free of charge. We find bigger kids are generally more engaged in the tours and we suggest a pram (or similar) for little kids as their legs get tired pretty quickly.
