Bendigo Tramways

“Visited September 9, 2025. Start of Spring Season. This was such a good way to explore surrounding Bendigo areas. I visited Melbourne then decided to have a day tour in Bendigo, this is around 2hrs travel from Southern Cross. I advise to arrive in the morning (10am) for the tour then explore it by afternoon to see more of the area. I arrived in Bendigo train station at 11am but the next tour started after 1pm. You can definitely hop on/off the train to see more of each stop. These were the stops I explored: ➡️ Train Depot * Tram Cafe * Museum ➡️ Deborah Gold Mine * free cave exploration (just the surface, separate payment underground) * souvenir shop ➡️ Alexandra Fountain * Visitor Center * Military Museum * shops * walked going to Bendigo Train Station There was actually a special tram for a private tour. Will definitely go back to see more 🌷”

“We spent a really enjoyable couple of hours using the tram to have a conducted tour and to visit some of the highlights of Bendigo. The driver and conductor were very helpful. The gold mine is worth seeing and so is the really excellent Bendigo Art Gallery near the Charing Cross tram stop. We also liked the relaxed small central shopping area.”

“Well if you want a mode of hop on and hop off in a country than the Bendigo talking tram is for you. Great for all visitors and all ages. Provides an insight into Bendigo’s history and has a great cafe at one of the stops. Highly recommend this service to all first time visitors to Bendigo.”

“The Talking Tram ride was such a cool way to explore Bendigo. You get to sit in a beautifully restored tram while learning the history of the city. It’s relaxed, fun, and gives you a whole new appreciation for Bendigo. Great for all ages!”
