    I have lived in Melbourne all my life but I had no idea the extent of Melbourne's Art Deco history. Sam was a walking encyclopaedia who was able to answer any question thrown at him. We were given enough time to appreciate the buildings inside and out. We cannot wait to book in our next Meltour.

    Sam our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the art deco in his town. We appreciated he managed to fit us in after other tours throughout the day. That's a lot of talking! He even kindly took us through extra arcades as spotted on the walk. There was so much to see and it was the perfect way to cover a lot of ground after having just arrived in town. Melbourne has done a great job restoring a lot of historical architecture while introducing a vast amount of stunning modern buildings around it.

    With our visit in Melbourne almost over, we were treated to a private tour with the very knowledgeable John who walked us through the CBD slowly while carefully describing the treasures of Art Deco architecture that populate the center city. I wish we had started with this tour because then our eyes would have been better trained to appreciate everything we saw. This tour is a great gift to anyone coming to this great city.

    Meet your guide at the Manchester Unity Building at 10am. In 1934, Melbourne celebrated its centenary and this event provided a catalyst for a building boom that transformed the city. As a result, Melbourne has some of the finest Art Deco buildings in the world, with many of the best examples located in the city centre. Follow your Art Deco guide to see and hear about various types of architecture in the city, including the Manchester Unity Building and the Majorca Building. Learn how to recognize the Art Deco style, including the use of terracotta ‘self-cleaning’ tiles, the distinctive patterning, and other design details of the genre. Discover how Spanish, Egyptian, Mayan and other cultures influenced the style and how this was an indicator as to what people were interested in during this time. Finish your tour at 12 noon in the city.

    The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
