Melbourne has both natural beauty and culture in spades, and for that reason it draws the crowds. But there are ways of getting around the crowds. The answer? Joining on tours with 10 or less like-minded travellers, taking to the road first thing and heading out on evening excursions.

The highlights include a lantern-lit evening trip to a wildlife sanctuary, a running tour that allows you to see its fabled street art, and a vegan restaurant half-day tour. One thing to note is that as group sizes are small, it’s first come, first served.
