Jill and Pete are taking a hiatus, but not for too long! Tours will resume on the King's Birthday Weekend – 7-9 June 2024.
Ranked number 2 of tours in Bendigo on Trip Advisor.
Join us for a guided walking tour through Bendigo’s historic centre and distinctive boom-style architecture.
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.
