Hello, my name is Sarah and I originally come from country Victoria, about an hour east of Melbourne. I have been a tour guide for the best part of the last decade and have experience leading tour groups mostly over in Europe. I am now back on home soil and look forward to showing people my home city!
Melbourne Street Art Tour: Hidden Art of the Laneways
Discover Melbourne’s vibrant street art scene on a guided 2.5 to 3-hour tour through the city’s iconic laneways. Led by a guide with over 10 years of international street art tour experience, this journey reveals the stories behind the murals, stencils, and paste-ups that make Melbourne a global street art hub.
As you explore the city's laneways, including Hosier and AC/DC, you’ll see a diverse range of street art styles. Melbourne’s laneways are constantly evolving: your guide will provide fascinating insights into the artists behind the works, their creative processes, and how Melbourne became a global street art destination.
Along the way, you’ll stop for a coffee break at one of the city’s best-loved cafés (not included). This is a great time to ask questions, discuss what you’ve seen so far, and chat with your guide and fellow participants.
Melbourne’s street art is more than just graffiti—it’s a form of creative expression that reflects the city’s culture, history, and ever-changing identity. From the early days of the graffiti movement in the 1980s to today’s flourishing street art scene, Melbourne has embraced this art form as part of its urban fabric.
Join us to uncover the hidden art of Melbourne’s laneways and leave with a new appreciation for the city’s dynamic street art culture.
