ABOUT

Join Bendigo’s famous, fully guided, historic walking tour

 

Ranked number 2 of tours in Bendigo on Trip Advisor.

​

Featured as number five in travel writer Patricia Maunders 'Perfect 10" for a visit to the Victorian Goldfields published in The Weekend Australian, this is a must-do for people ready to be immersed in the history of Bendigo.

 

About the two-hour tour

We describe how gold and mass migration transformed a sleepy sheep run and land of the Dja Dja Wurrung into the world's richest city of the 1880s. 

​

We recall the Bendigo people, events and fabulous wealth that built 'Marvellous Melbourne' and shaped a new nation.

 

We explore Bendigo's role in campaigns for democracy, votes for women, trade unionism and Federation. 

 

Our stories range from radicals to royalty, larrikins to leaders and include the quirky, remarkable, sometimes humorous, often forgotten, but always intriguing stories of our city.
