Architours  

“We are a group of local Melburnians who work, live and breathe architecture and design in this city. Keen to share the knowledge and generate discussion about the built environment, we invite you on a walking tour with us to learn about Melbourne’s evolution through its building fabric. Come and join us for one of three tours, followed by a caffeine pitstop or beer at the bar to dissect the good and the bad about the city and its architecture.”
