The 14 Best Melbourne Laneway and Street Art Tours

14 reviewed

Hosier Lane gets photographed, AC/DC Lane gets walked past, and the arcades between them hold most of the city’s nineteenth century. A guide turns a wall of paint into the story of who put it there and why the next crew will cover it by Friday. These are the walks worth two hours, with prices and meeting points.

So cool to see the streets of Melbourne through an artist's lens, and we even felt a part of the action when he whipped out a marker at one point to add his stamp to the scene. We felt like we learned so much and it was a good way to get moving around outside despite the rainy weather!”
