About
The Wonderful Golden Mile walk has been upgraded in 2017 to include a stop for coffee or similar. Indulge in the spaces of a time gone by, the foyers, and laneways where the bold entrepreneurs of the city ventured, as this new nation was finding its feet. Melbourne as the site of the first Australian capital has a rich story often missed by locals and visitors alike.
The trail marches along Collins Street and takes you for a sneak peek inside the elegant Gothic interiors of the ANZ bank, the plush European-style hotel spaces and into the austere but commanding inner recesses of Melbourne's boom town city.

About
The city takes on a different character at night — shadowy alleyways, raucous bars, and excited theatre-goers. It’s with this backdrop that you’ll explore a city coming to life.
Duck and weave through the crowds as you find yourself in three unique holes-in-the-wall from a cheeky standing bite. This is not your typical, sit-down-and-wait-an-hour-for-your-food walking tour. No, this experience will have you pushing crowds aside to find that perfect greasy pizza joint in the back of a dive bar, having your guide help you translate the mandarin menu from a dumping house, and exploring a restaurant that is gritty and real, not overly polished and overpriced.
