Complete City Sights Walk

This is the one walk on this site that is not a GuruWalk listing. Melbourne Sights Free Tour: Complete Melbourne is run by I'm Free Tours, a guiding outfit that has been operating for 17 years, and it is booked through freetour.com. The walk covers downtown Melbourne over 2 hours and 30 minutes, in English, starting from the State Library of Victoria at 328 Swanston Street. Freetour.com reviewers rate it 9.6 out of 10 across 3,592 reviews, and this site reports that score exactly as the platform presents it rather than converting it into stars. Like every walk here, it costs nothing to join and you pay what you want at the end. Every other walk on this site is a GuruWalk listing; this is the only freetour.com walk among them, and that distinction matters when you go to book.

The Route: State Library To Federation Square, The River And The Lanes In Between

The Route, Stop by Stop The walk begins at the State Library Victoria and works through the city centre from there. Expect Federation Square, the street art lanes the city is known for, Flinders Street Station and the banks of the Yarra River. Centre Place, Parliament House and Bourke Street Mall follow, with Old Melbourne Gaol on the itinerary as well. The route finishes among the coffee-culture districts that shaped the city's reputation, so arrive ready for a good cup.

Meeting Point, Duration And What The Walk Is Like On The Day

Meeting Point and What to Expect The meeting point is the State Library of Victoria, 328 Swanston Street, a short walk from Melbourne Central station and served by the Swanston Street tram corridor. The walk runs for 2 hours and 30 minutes and is wheelchair and stroller friendly, which makes it a realistic pick for families. If you are coming with a large group, register in advance rather than simply turning up on the day. Reservations go through freetour.com, not GuruWalk, since this is the one walk here that is not a GuruWalk listing.
