Hidden Secrets Tours

The original small group laneway walking tours of Melbourne city. Inspired by evolutions of our city.

Hidden Secrets Tours are the original laneways tours of Melbourne. We love to share the City that locals use, rather than the main tourist monuments. This contemporary team of tour hosts have designed options for travellers and locals - not just 'tourists', focusing on experiencing the city and all the local design talent that exists in Australia's creative hub with information that's more current than a guide book! Half day tours are offered for first time and repeat visitors, to enjoy the life and soul of the city that's often missed. By design Melbourne is a spectacular city to walk, so most itineraries are focussed on the city centre. Meet the independent store owners and local characters, indulge in the cafe culture, enjoy the diversity of cuisine and find the best designer shopping that only Melbourne can provide! Tour group sizes are kept to a maximum of 8 to maintain an intimate experience, and will run with a minimum of 2 people on scheduled tour days. Food, art, fashion and w**e mixed with a little history and architectural treasures. Indulge yourself in the cultural essence of Melbourne with these must do experiences.

Melbourne is a city that’s always evolving, but its rich history is just as intriguing as ever!

Stepping into Spyglass Coffee | Melbourne C*D on Lt Bourke Street is a delight. With a central expresso bar and terracotta tones next to banquettes for sipping this cafe sets a new tone in aesthetic. Fabulous coffee and cookies to die for.
