Sit back and enjoy this panoramic orientation drive through Australia’s ‘most livable city.
It’s vibrant, multi-cultural, sporting, fashionable, food-and culture-loving and the capital of Victoria – and all that’s just for starters.
You’ll visit the bayside suburb of St. Kilda, with its lovely beaches, Esplanade and hopping café scene. See the F1 Grand Prix circuit wrapping around Albert Park Lake and stop for photos at the landmark Shrine of Remembrance WWI memorial, maybe strolling across to the Royal Botanic Gardens’ gift shop.
Drive past the Rod Laver Tennis Center, where the Australian Open is played each January, and the Melbourne Cricket Ground made famous as the venue for the 1956 Olympic Games, now home to thundering Aussie Rules Football and stadium concert crowds. In the heart of the city’s historic and governmental quarter, see The Treasury, Parliament House, the Windsor Hotel, Princess Theatre, and the impressive Gothic buildings that line Collins Street.
And travel through the Carlton district, where the rococo Royal Exhibition Building stands alongside the ultramodern Melbourne Museum. Throughout the drive, your professional guide’s commentary will bring the city’s history and backstories to life.
We also offer options at the end of your City Explorer tour to add on a visit to Melbourne Skydeck or continue on the the famous Phillip Island Penguin Parade at a discounted rate.
