Overview

Melbourne looks different before 9am. This small-group tour covers the Melbourne morning in two hours: local café culture, Queen Victoria Market, a tram ride on a 19th-century carriage, a hidden riverside tunnel, and Melbourne's most iconic cultural landmarks.

Your morning begins at a local café, where your guide will introduce you to the Melbourne coffee ritual and the off-menu local special that never appears on any board. From the café, you move to Queen Victoria Market, the largest open-air market in the Southern Hemisphere, for a visit to the stalls and a stop at American Donut Kitchen.

A tram ride brings you through the city centre, followed by a hidden tunnel that emerges alongside the ancient Yarra River. The National Gallery of Victoria and the Shrine of Remembrance round out the morning, with the option to continue to the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Expert local guide. Maximum 12 guests. Departs 8:30am daily. Available from 15 November 2026.
