Highlights

This experience is perfect for beginners wanting to understand art. It offers great value because you can learn valuable tips in art appreciation, admire top Western art at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) without spending hours wandering the museum. Guests will benefit from an immersive learning experience about the main Western art movements featured in NGV, including Byzantine, Renaissance, Mannerism, Baroque, Rococo, Romanticism, Realism and Impressionism; and admire paintings by Rembrandt, François Boucher, El Greco, Jan Brueghel, Tiepolo, Monet, Pissarro, Dali and Picasso. This tour suits travellers and locals, including families with children. Each group or individual booking will receive a free Art Appreciation book that features many of the top paintings at NGV.

About Melbourne

Melbourne is the capital of Victoria on the Yarra River, known for laneway cafés, street art, grand Victorian buildings and a calendar full of sport.

Melbourne grew rich on the gold rush of the 1850s, and the grand buildings from that time still stand in the grid of the city centre, among them Flinders Street Station with its yellow facade and the domed Royal Exhibition Building. Federation Square and the National Gallery of Victoria stand close to the Yarra, and trams rattle along the main streets. Narrow lanes such as Hosier Lane are covered in ever-changing street art.

Top-ranked sights in Melbourne: Loch Ard Gorge, Twelve Apostles, Great Ocean Road.
