What you can expect

  • This isn’t your average Melbourne walking tour.

    Join your passionate and knowledgeable local guides on an inspiring tour of Melbourne's secret women’s history. Walk with us through the heart of the city from the last remaining tower of a hospital founded, staffed, and run entirely by women, through Chinatown and past Parliament before finishing at Melbourne’s Town Hall.

    We’ll uncover the hidden history behind some of Melbourne’s most iconic landmarks, including the Princess Theatre, The Hotel Windsor and the Capitol, as well as some hidden gems including Casselden Place, where the last cottage built in 1877 still remains, and the site of one of Melbourne’s most iconic queer cafes in the 1950s. This diverse, interesting and unique tour will leave you feeling empowered, entertained and inspired to learn more.

    This tour is perfect for first time visitors, seasoned Melburnians and interstate travellers alike. We welcome all guests aged 13+ on this tour. The walk covers about 3km at a relaxed pace, and there are a few places to pause and sit down along the way.

    Together we'll uncover some incredible stories of history-shaping women and you might even make a few new friends along the way!
