What you’ll do

The kind citizens of Melbourne obviously had you in mind whilst developing their beautiful, sunshine-filled metropolis - why else does this astounding city offer everything you could possibly wish for on a family trip?

Melbourne is the capital of all things art and culture in Aus, and once you’ve thrown in some beaches, farmers’ markets full of good, wholesome food, and the local wildlife, you’ve got everything you’d need to keep kids of any age entertained.

Your little ones could dance themselves silly at the Camouflage Disco or take an Aboriginal Heritage Walk through the Botanical Gardens.

Maybe your tribe’s vibe is more ocean than the city, so you could head to a beach-side suburb where they can bodyboard to their heart’s content - one neighborhood we have in mind even has a vintage theme park, so even big kids (we mean you, parents) can join in on the fun!

The point is, whatever your family’s style, there’s a Melbourne to suit, and your local Melbourne host can’t wait to share that with you!

    My family recently had the pleasure of taking a walking tour through Liverpool. Let me start by saying our guide, Pete, is the jam! He is both engaging and enthusiastic. He skillfully painted a vivid picture of Liverpool’s history and culture. He captured our attention with intriguing historical tidbits from discussions of the architecture to descriptions of the city’s musical heritage. We toured historical landmarks such as the Albert Dock, the Cavern Club, and Rubber Soul - Beatles Bar. The duration and pace of the walking tour was perfect for our family. The tour is customized for the individual or group and we wanted to keep a brisk pace and cover as much of Liverpool city centre as we could in a few hours. At the end of the tour Pete actually helped us by recommending local restaurants and shops. I highly recommend this walking tour to get a sampling of all Liverpool has to offer...and request Pete!

    Miwa was a great tour guide showing us around Ueno park. She also showed us how to use the subway which was extremely helpful for our trip.
