Melbourne! Over its almost 180 year history, it has been given countless titles. These include ‘The Culture Capital’, ‘The Sports Capital’, ‘The City of Gardens’, ‘The Most European City of Australia’ and much more. For the past five years (2011-2015) Melbourne has held the title of the world’s most liveable city (as rated by The Economist magazine).
About this and many other things you will find out during our sightseeing Melbourne city tour.

Towards the end of the trip, you will see the coastal suburbs, where the metropolitan landscape will be replaced by resort scenery of beaches and palm trees.
