This unique alternative culture and street art walking tour will wander through Melbourne's most iconic and eclectic neighbourhoods, Fitzroy and Collingwood, and take in their diverse history, culture and hidden sights as we go.

You will discover incredible street art murals, hear of local Aboriginal history and experience the alternative cultures, creative businesses and inspiring community projects that make these neighbourhoods a cultural melting pot.

We will take a short break at a volunteer run ethical food co-op cafe created by a world famous environmental activist group and we will conclude the tour at one of my favourite local markets (weekends only).

No better way to discover the most vibrant suburbs of Melbourne
This is not your mainstream, cookie-cutter sight seeing tour. Liam is incredibly knowledgeable about everything from historic events (the interesting ones) with a insightful focus on the often neglected indigenous aspects of history, over to street art, lifestyle, architecture, to present-day social and cultural aspects. His tour makes all this come alive as you walk through the streets and leave you with the impression to have truly seen and experienced this fascinating part of Melbourne. I highly recommend this to everyone who wants to get to know Melbourne. 3 hours is the perfect length and Liam pointed us towards a good lunch spot. Such an experience!
