Melbourne is my home, and what I love most about it is the incredible diversity and vibrancy that pulses through its veins. Wandering through the city laneways is a real treat, with street art, cozy cafes, and surprising specialty shops at every turn. From killer coffee spots to the diverse cultures represented in every corner, the Vic Market's tempting array, and the latest restaurant discoveries, I'm always up for a culinary adventure. I've called several places home, from the trendy CBD and inner ring to the eclectic vibes of Fitzroy, Collingwood, and the charming waterfronts of Williamstown. As a Melbourne expert in sports, food, galleries, and theater, I know the ins and outs of Chapel Street, Fitzroy Street, Southbank, St Kilda, and beyond. Let's uncover the magic of Melbourne together!
Visit Host ProfileInteresting, story driven with some fun. Occasionally accused of TMI (too much information) but like to balance the chat with a few quick quips.

I’m Alison, a Melbourne local who loves showing the city from a slightly different perspective. What I enjoy most about Melbourne is its waterside life, from river traffic and working ports to yacht clubs and beaches. The city feels completely different when experienced along its waterways and beachfronts. I’m drawn to Melbourne’s multicultural energy, where grungy, gritty, glamorous and funky all coexist. I love walking, whether getting lost in CBD laneways, wandering a foreshore, or heading upriver. Food is another passion of mine, from market eats to fine dining. I know Williamstown, Altona, Footscray, the CBD and Carlton well. As a trained art teacher, I enjoy sharing Melbourne’s art spaces, and my interest in sustainability means I’m great at finding vintage, recycled, handmade and unconventional spots.

We had the best walking tour in Melbourne with Ondrej Foltin. He was very knowledgeable, professional and funny! We covered most of Melbourne, and his guidance, referrals and tips set us up to navigate the rest of our time there! Thank you Ondrej. 5 star
Rhonda was a delightful guide. Shortly after we were matched with her she reached out and even helped shape our itinerary. Rhonda is friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a better understanding of the history of Melbourne and its landmarks. We especially loved that she helped us feel more comfortable navigating by foot and tram. She went out of her way to give us food and drink recommendations. It was an absolutely perfect introduction to the city. If you have been matched with Rhonda, consider yourself lucky
