Melbourne Day Private Tour Itinerary:

This private Melbourne day tour combines city sightseeing, bayside photo stops and a visit to Moonlit Sanctuary. The route below is a sample itinerary: traffic, access, attraction opening hours and your agreed return time determine the order and length of stops.

Federation Square and Flinders Street Station
Your Melbourne private city tour begins with two of the city's most recognised sights: The contemporary Federation Square stands alongside the classic Flinders Street Station. The duo of attractions establish Melbourne's unique mix of traditional elements and innovative features.

Melbourne Cricket Ground - MCG
Stop outside the Melbourne Cricket Ground for photos and an introduction to the city’s sporting culture. This is an exterior photo stop; a guided stadium tour and event admission are not included.

Royal Exhibition Building and Carlton Gardens
Make your way to the grand Royal Exhibition Building, which holds UNESCO World Heritage status and is located in the peaceful Carlton Gardens. The building stands as an emblem of Melbourne’s elegant architecture and historic grandeur.

Spring Street: Parliament House, Princess Theatre and Treasury Building
Melbourne's distinguished landmarks line elegant Spring Street. The Parliament House and the grand Treasury Building stand as testaments to Melbourne’s extensive political history. The grand Princess Theatre stands just nearby, a celebrated landmark distinguished by its lavish architecture and strong theatre tradition.

Collins Street
Drive along Collins Street to see heritage facades and the shops of its eastern “Paris End”.

Melbourne Chinatown
As we pass through Melbourne’s Chinatown, you’ll catch a glimpse of one of the city’s most historic and vibrant precincts. Lined with traditional archways, heritage buildings, and buzzing laneways, this area reflects Melbourne’s deep Chinese-Australian roots and its famous food culture. It’s a lively stretch of the city where old traditions meet modern Melbourne, all right in the heart of the CBD.

Docklands
We proceed to the modern Docklands precinct next. Take a walk along the contemporary waterfront of Melbourne and enjoy the cutting-edge architecture while experiencing the lively urban atmosphere that epitomises the city today.

Shrine of Remembrance
Pause at the Shrine of Remembrance forecourt to see the memorial and its setting near the Royal Botanic Gardens. The visit is planned around access and your group’s walking preferences.

Albert Park – Formula One Grand Prix
See Albert Park’s lake and roads used for the Australian Grand Prix circuit when public access allows. Event preparations and road closures can change this part of the route.

St Kilda Esplanade and Sea Baths
The breezy St Kilda Esplanade blends palm trees, coastal charm, and Melbourne’s bohemian spirit. The historic St Kilda Sea Baths is a beloved classic seaside retreat for locals and visitors.

Brighton Beach Boxes
Visit the vibrant Brighton Beach Boxes for a photographic pause to experience this iconic part of Melbourne’s beach culture. The historic bathing huts with their bright appearance stand as one of Melbourne's most popular photography locations.

Lunch Break
Stop for lunch at a local cafe or restaurant, at your own expense. We choose the timing and venue to fit the route and the sanctuary visit.

Moonlit Sanctuary
Visit Moonlit Sanctuary in Pearcedale for native Australian wildlife in a bushland setting, including kangaroos, wallabies and koalas. Day admission is an additional cost. Optional close-up encounters and animal food are charged separately and depend on availability; tell us in advance if you would like an encounter so we can check session times. This itinerary includes a daytime visit.
