Join your expert tour guide for a short journey over West Gate Bridge to the quaint and quiet seaside 'village' of Williamstown. Originally named William's Town in honour of King William IV, this location was seriously considered as the site of the capital. With the city skyline as a backdrop, this tour immerses you in a slower pace and picturesque scenery showcasing the Yarra River's entrance into Port Phillip Bay, the boat clubs and quiet beachfronts featuring natural vegetation and landscapes around Point Gellibrand. Enjoy short walks and sightseeing in the manicured Botanic Gardens with dozens of swaying palms, through the Newport Lakes Reserve that was once a bluestone quarry and The Cannons stoically defending Australia from foreign invasion. Take this tour as slow as you like with opportunities to simply take in the sights, snap some photos, learn about the local history and see how the locals live in a quiet part of Melbourne.
