We did this tour in February 2020. We originally scheduled it for the 10th but one of our party took unwell and Kel went out of his way to help rearrange our tour for the 13th, once our group were fully fit. Kel and Mel were great hosts, sharing a lot of information and making us feel very welcome. By the end of the tour, I felt I'd seen a lot, had a great afternoon out and had made two new friends. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Melbourne.

We had an excellent street art tour with Ben yesterday and got to see some amazing, and not so amazing pieces in locations that we may not have found on our own. Even within each laneway Ben was very good at pointing out the little details and points of interest that would otherwise go unnoticed. He pointed out works by many different artists in many different styles. We have enjoyed street art tours around the world and were very happy to add Melbourne in this year of holiday at home. The visit to Blender Studios was a fascinating way to finish up. Thank you to everyone who was able to make this happen for us- we are very pleased that we didn’t miss out. A big thank you to Ben for his time and knowledge showing us around a taste of the Melbourne street art scene and leaving us with a bit more knowledge as we continue to explore.

Each tour member receives a free booklet which contains photos of the characters discussed along the way. Fitzroy is located on the fringe of Melbourne's CBD and is easily accessible by regular trams to and from the City.

Learn about Fitzroy’s wealthy origins and slide into crime and extreme poverty, the rise of criminal gangs in the 1920s, indigenous history, Spanish roots and much more.
