Join us on a 2 hour walking tour as we explore the streets of Fitzroy's old crime district and get to know the colourful characters who lived in Melbourne's old crime district 100 years ago. The Fitzroy True Crime Walking Tour is constructed and delivered by writer and historian Michael Shelford and utilises the original police files from the era 1890-1920's. Former brothels, speak easies, gangland murders and shootouts with cops, are just a few of the subjects featured on the tour. Each tour member receives a free booklet which contains photos of the characters discussed along the way. Fitzroy is located on the fringe of Melbourne's CBD and is easily accessible by regular trams to and from the City.

My sister and I had a fabulous few hours with Michael this past weekend. He was so full of interesting facts and stories and the time just flew. Thoroughly recommend this to anyone with an interest in history or who just loves good true stories. We’re planning to do his other tour in the coming weeks and looking forward to it

We love our true crime - not sure why that is - so were really looking forward to this walking tour. It sure met our expectations. Michael knows his stuff, has put a lot of legwork into investigating and preparing his presentation. It is evident that he is only skimming the surface in what he can deliver in a 2 hour tour, but like any good show he leaves you wanting more. We look forward to the Little Lon tour sooner rather than later and hoping for a ‘Backstreets of Richmond’ version in the near future as well.
