ImageCome to the FREE Launch of 3CR's People's Tours then join the three live walking tours with an audience as part of the Melbourne Fringe Festivl.

These tours are a twist on a typical walking tour - they are fact-based but are also very personal, with tour guides describing why certain historical places, events and times have special meaning for them. 

The four live tours take place Saturday 26 and every Sunday after during the Melbourne Fringe Festival:

Irine Vela tours the hits, failures and challenges of her life as a working musician in Melbourne.
