Overview

There's always more to a place than first meets the eye. My tours aim to bring you on a journey to the very core of what makes every place unique—the people, the stories, and the local culture. On this tour of Melbourne, my goal is for you to experience the unique beauty and diverse culture of Melbourne, from glorious gold history, magnificent architecture, laneways, and street arts to gorgeous gardens.

A winding boardwalk along the Yarra River. Narrow backstreets are colored with graffiti. Melbourne sits at the intersection of the historic and the contemporary, sophistication and creativity. Australia's second-biggest city was built on hard work and gold during the 19th century. Today, Melbourne is an eclectic melting pot shaped by international influences and is Australia's thriving hub for culture, gastronomy, and art.
