Overview
Discover Melbourne’s rich past and sweetest treats on our History & Donuts Walking Tour. This 2.5-hour experience blends fascinating stories with handpicked donut stops. Starting at Federation Square, we journey past Young & Jackson’s Hotel, St Paul’s Cathedral, and the vibrant art of Hosier Lane. After a quick coffee in Centre Place, we explore the city’s historic core, from the Collins Street precinct to the Mitre Tavern, once a hub of colonial wheeling and dealing. We then stroll through Hardware Lane and stop at Short Stop, famed for its gourmet donuts. From there, it’s down Guildford Lane, a peaceful red-brick laneway rich in character, before reaching the bustling Queen Victoria Market for another sweet treat. We wrap up at Old Melbourne Gaol and the stunning State Library Victoria. Perfect for locals and visitors, this tour serves up history with a side of sugar.
