The City of Melbourne, founded in 1835 and home to over 4 million people, is one of the world’s most vibrant, multicultural and sophisticated cities. Voted one of the world’s most liveable year after year, our city is proud, loved by locals and adored by those who visit. But Melbourne has another side, one that isn’t seen on postcards, brochures or travel shows. One that is a product of many different circumstances, yet one that is often missed and with stories that remain untold.



The purpose of No Fixed Address is to tell these stories. We aim to present the real Melbourne, what makes this city tick, the real people who contribute to it, by giving those a platform to offer an insight through well thought out, safe and comfortable tours. You can choose to see the facade of Melbourne with its aesthetic modern beauty or you can choose the grass roots of Melbourne through a unique lens of the people who know it best. As our guides are from the streets, they’ll be able to comment not only on the history of the city, but also delve into the impacts of historical events that shape and affect our society today.

We are offering quality walking tours delivered by people who are considered homeless or have experienced homelessness, are living in supported housing and currently unemployed. The experience of the guides will give visitors a sense of Melbourne's authenticity and enable them to take them through areas and to various landmarks, to see sights that visitors (and a few locals) don't usually get to see. Our holistic approach to the tour design allows for visitors to see it all, taking you through back streets, main streets, through fauna and flora, historical sites and modern creations with information to match!  










Our tours will meet and satisfy everyone's tastes from the historical fact finders, to the culture vultures, the foodies to the footy lovers and from the art lovers to the socially conscience, we offer it all. You will see Melbourne not many tourists get to see, whilst also capturing rare views of the city skyline for those all important holiday snaps!

Competition 
Tourism is a growing trade and as a result more and more tours will enter the tourism industry in Melbourne however I believe that our USP is the alternative routes we offer that are different to the current tours on offer and with experienced and interesting guides who can give first hand knowledge and insight into the experience.
