How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
A laid-back coastal town by day and a buzzing neighborhood where all the cool kids come to play by night, St Kilda knows how to have a good time! You’ll join one of our local Melbourne hosts as the sun sets on this enclave and it comes alive at night.
Kick things off with a drink in one of the (many) bars, hotels, and cafes that line the streets - do you see yourself on an outdoor terrace overlooking the ocean, or a trendy coffee shop turned cocktail bar?
If St Kilda is known for one thing, its live music (and the revelry which goes along with it), so why not get amongst the action by stopping by The Espy, Australia’s longest-running music venue, or a smaller spot where you can catch a local band.
There are plenty of watering holes to hop between - some of them are even over 170 years old, so when you think about it, you’re learning some history while you’re at it.
Whether you want to relax on the beach and watch the sunset, bar hop through the coolest bars, see live music or let your host take the reins completely, all you need to do is show up, and we guarantee St Kilda will take care of the rest!

It was a fascinating tour guided by Rhonda, with excellent knowledge of the city and its anecdotes, we immersed ourselves with her help in the local culture, traditions and daily life, it was more than a sightseeing tour, it was a trip with a friend who showed us the best of her city and Australian traditions, highly recommended.

Rhonda was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. I had a very pleasant time with her. She even showed me how to get on the train to get back to my hotel and waited with me to board. I appreciate all the care she took to assure that I had a good experience.
