Chocoholics, sweet tooths and travellers alike can discover Melbourne's world of chocolate, and experience charms of the city's streets, lanes and arcades, all in one tour. Let a Melburnian take you on a walk to show you the city!
The walking tours are for all ages and take place throughout the year, in all weather conditions (nothing can stop us from eating chocolate!). There is one regular tour on Friday and five tours on Saturday (see details below; note: you don't need a group to join us). If they are fully booked, extra tours may be organised. Some tours can be arranged for groups on weekdays (contact us for details).
