There is a picture in the tour page of the Court veranda we use for the tour. Note the tour is not an activity associated with the building - we merely use it as a start point.\r\n\r\nYour tour guide will be wearing a yellow MELTours bag. Note in case of no-shows and cancellations within 24 hours of the tour, to keep your booking a re-booking fee is needed to reschedule. To get the most out of your tour we recommend that you obtain a drink or coffee, visit the rest room and be at the start point 5 minutes prior.\r\n\r\nThe tour will run each and every time except if lightening/hail is seen - right at the start or during the tour. Note that all tours have a 13yo+ limit which is enforced as all tours contain adult concepts. This is the tour booking confirmation – no tickets will be issued. We will see you on the day. Your mobile number will be used to advise of any last minute issues via text.\r\n\r\nThis is a historical tour that uses some example laneways to highlight the history of Melbourne that is sometimes based around a number of laneways, hidden spaces and obscure buildings particular to the north side of the Melbourne CBD grid.","languages":["en_au"],"tags":[],"waitListingEnabled":false,"isApiBookingSupported":true,"isMultiProductBookingSupported":true}}
