Marvellous Melbourne,
on foot with Martin.
A two-hour storytelling walk through the gold rush arcades, boom-era banks and stubborn little laneways of Melbourne's CBD. One tour. One guide. Countless surprising stories.
"Come and see the city I've been telling stories about for a decade."
Before you commit to a walk, let Martin tell you what to expect — the pace, the stops, and why he keeps coming back to the corner of Collins and Swanston at least once a week.
Marvellous Melbourne with Martin
From the clocks at Flinders Street to the columns of Parliament, Martin weaves the gold rush, the boom, the bust, and the beautifully stubborn architecture that survived it all. Bring good shoes and a curious head.

Five streets. One unforgettable city.
Where Melbourne first drew a line on a map — 1837.
The clocks under which every Melburnian has waited.
Boom-era banks, hidden arcades and a very Parisian dome.
The old gaol, the trials, and the tram lines that trace the vanished cables.
From gold rush theatres to lane-way espresso bars.
Three ways to explore
Public tours, per-seat booking. Great for tourists, locals and dates that go somewhere.
Team offsites, offshore visitors, client entertainment. Custom start times, custom themes.
Curriculum-aligned excursions for Years 5–12. History, civics, and city geography — brought to life.
"Martin doesn't recite dates — he unlocks the city. Every laneway suddenly had a story I couldn't unhear."
