Private Walking Tour of Melbourne’s Inner North

Step into Melbourne’s past on this immersive walking tour through storied Carlton and the University of Melbourne. Designed for curious travellers and locals, it offers a deeper understanding of the city’s history, architecture, and culture. You’ll hear fascinating stories of visionaries, migrants, and rebels while discovering hidden spots most visitors miss. With time to soak in the atmosphere (and enjoy a coffee break), this is more than just a walk—it’s a new way to experience Melbourne. About your guide: Cherida A lifelong learner with a passion for exploration, I’ve traveled extensively and love walking tours—they’re the best way to get oriented, meet people, and uncover hidden gems. I created this tour to share that experience in my own city. Keeping it small allows for deeper engagement, personalized insights, and the flexibility to explore details larger groups miss. As a proud Melburnian, I can’t wait to share Carlton with you.

We'll begin at the World Heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building, home to Australia’s first parliament.

View some of Melbourne’s finest residential buildings and learn about the people who designed and built them.

Carlton is more than just pizza (although I’ll be sharing where to get a great one)! Its well-preserved streetscapes are full of stories that trace the historical events and cultural shifts that shaped Melbourne into the vibrant, multicultural city we know today. - Explore Carlton’s rich migrant history and its darker side. - Take a break for coffee and cake on Lygon St, making like part of the "Carlton Push."

- Walk through the University of Melbourne, visiting the Old Quad and hidden gems, like the heritage-listed underground carpark from Mad Max and a secret garden most Melburnians don’t know about.

We'll finish with a tram ride down Royal Parade to the Victoria Market for a quick orientation and lunch tips before we part ways. Participants will receive a PDF guide with their walk details, local food recommendations, and a list of books for those who love discovering cities through literature.
