Step by Step Melbourne reveals this sporty capital through a selection of clearly laid-out walks and tours, complemented by beautiful, full-color pictures, an authoritative narrative voice, and a wealth of practical information, all in a compact package. The guide starts with Recommended Tours, suggesting the book's best tours for foodies, history fans, and those seeking the bohemian subculture. In the Overview, an engaging introduction reveals essential background information on Melbourne's inhabitants, geography and architecture, plus the lowdown on food, drink, shopping, entertainment, sporting events and local history. This provides all the background information needed to set the walks and tours in context. The Walks and Tours section features 14 irresistible self-guided routes, from the CBD, the tree-lined boulevards of Carlton, and the shabby-chic shopping and entertainment streets of Fitzroy, to the green lungs of the Kings Domain, the upmarket suburbs of South Melbourne and seaside St Kilda, with trips further afield to the Mornington Peninsula and wine- and cheese-producing Yarra Valley. All show step by step how to get the most out of Melbourne and the surrounding area, with something for every budget, taste, and trip length. Each of the tours has a clear, easy-to-follow map, hand-picked places to eat and drink en route, and great insider tips. All this makes it simple for the reader to find the perfect tour for the time they have to spare. The final section of the book is the Directory, incorporating a user-friendly, fact-packed A to Z of practical information, plus select hotel, restaurant and nightlife listings, which will lead the reader to the best that Melbourne has to offer.

Some It's a little hard to search for descriptions of specific sites, though since it's set up by walking tour, rather than being alphabetical by region. Also it focuses rather heavily on architecture and shopping as focal point, which is fine, but I'm not a big fan of shopping and ended up only skimming those sections. I would have preferred more of the local museums and such.
I used it as a general guide to come up with my own itinerary while I was in Melbourne and it worked well for me, helping me to focus in on one small suburb at a time (which is important since Melbourne is HUGE). I used the maps to help me get around, so it definitely helped me during my trip. I also appreciated that it was a slim book and fairly lightweight. Not a bad way to go, if you only going to be visiting the one city. ( )
