Arts & Design
Food and Drink Tours

Live Like a Local is a light-hearted self-guided GPS audio tour that talks about thing locals do in Melbourne, not just the tourist attractions. There are plenty of great tourist tours in Melbourne but if you want to eat in a cheap little place down a side lane, go to a free comedy or Trivia night, or you want to get a view of Melbourne without paying for it then this tour shows you how to do that.

You can take the tour anytime you want, stop and start as much as you like and even go back and do it again. You can also skip past things that don’t interest you and spend more time on things that do. The last track on the tour summarises everything you’ve seen and it also tells you about other nearby places.

Every city has places that are great during the day but a ghost town at night or busy on some days and quiet on others and we talk about those too. At the end of the tour, you will have places to go, food to eat, drinks to drink – enough to keep you busy for a week or two
