Let a local show you the real Melbourne
The Melbourne Greeter Service is a free two to four hour walking orientation of the city for visitors to Melbourne. Greeters are passionate, trained volunteers who share their local knowledge of Melbourne.
Groups of up to four people can be accommodated and bookings are essential.
Orientations are available in English 7 days a week (excluding Good Friday and Christmas Day) and depart once daily at 9.30am from the basement level of the Melbourne Visitor Centre at Federation Square (located on the corner of Flinders and Swanston Streets).
Languages
Orientations in languages other than English are available including Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Spanish and Swedish. View the full list of languages and calendar of availability (PDF 46kb). Please call us if you are unable to access or view this PDF
