From all of us at Hidden Secrets Tours we are so pleased to be inviting you back on tour with us.

We hope you have had a moment to enjoy your family and surrounds in these recent months of upheaval and uncertainty.

As a group we have been separated a little as urgent attention to the things we hold most dear took a front seat. As we emerge and find confidence in cafes and restaurants opening and our parks lush and green, our team is gathering again rehashing some of our tour plans and engaging with our city, its people and places.

All of us have asked what will really change as we return to sharing our city with mostly locals and other visitors? We think there will be many things in the greater aspects of travel and as we have been privileged to have so many internationally, we also know domestic travel is still a wonderful treat. Here at Hidden Secrets Tours, our customer care focus continues and we are looking forward to the new openings, the changes, the stories we uncover, and the familiar faces we reconnect with.

There are things that have always been a part of our tours, our DNA you could say

• * The laneways, and all the sensory moments that happen within.
• * The people and entrepreneurs that cultivate a job and a business that is shared and reflect the sense of place and culture of Melbourne.
• * Care for our community by way of careful consideration of where we spend our money to enhance our guests experiences.
• * Diverse experiences where conversation is encouraged as we share the City we know and where it sits within the world stories.
• * Local, attentive and passionate guides.
• * and Melbourne as the core, its precious failings as well as its true gems, and creative style!

Tour bookings are now open on our pages for our Lanes and Arcades tours — Here, and a new Private tour option will launch next week.

This restart will happen slowly, so we can be sure to have a viable product and care for the businesses we interact with. Some of our tours will reignite in a few months to ensure we have the best experience, and new tours will come online too. We know times have changed, and we are so privileged to have witnessed it, and the innovative actions that once again Melburnians have embraced!

We know you will love the new Melbourne, as really some of her old tricks will still be in the cosy corners!

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Warm regards,
