What you’ll do

If you are stopping over in Melbourne for just a short time, why not make the most of your adventure and spend it with a local who can show you the sights?

This personalized experience with one of our local Melbourne hosts will be like exploring Melbourne with a friend and, while you may not be able to see the entire city in just a few hours, you can still gain an authentic and engaging impression while forming loads of new memories (and snapping tons of pics for IG!).

Your host will be there to help you actualize any experience you’ve dreamt of in Melbourne. You could visit the iconic sights like Fitzroy Gardens, the architecturally iconic Melbourne Train Station or browse the dozens of unique and quirky eateries and coffee shops lining the lively city streets.

Perhaps you would like to visit a local market where you can pick up fresh fruit and vegetables, preloved treasures, and street food, or check out the city's colorful street art?

And if you get hungry you could always wander into a local eatery for an authentic taste of Melbourne, or sit down to chat with your host over a cuppa at a hip and trendy cafe.

Melbourne caters to everyone and the opportunities to embrace its beauty, culture, and heritage are everywhere - you just need to know where to look.

    Wir hatten einen Guide , der sehr engagiert war. Viel wusste , uns Dinge gezeigt hat, jeder sieht aber auch abseits , er konnte spontan auf uns eingehen und hatte noch viele weitere Tipps, wir hatten viel Spaß We had a guide who was very committed. He knew a lot, showed us things, but everyone also looks outside the box, he was able to respond to us spontaneously and had many other tips, we had a lot of fun

    Chris, our guide, is extremely knowledgeable on history, culture as well as a variety of topics. He is a great listener and helped us define our general ideas of what we wanted to see. We learned so much-he is a great storyteller and provided so many facts and information on what we were seeing. We feel like we saw the highlights of Melbourne. We definitely recommend Chris and will be sure to use him again on a return trip.

    Chris readily established an exceptional rapport. He took our very general suggestions and helped us define what we wanted to see and made sure we achieved our goals. He is a very good listener and is very knowledgeable of history and culture and readily shares that knowledge. He is a great storyteller. We had physical limitations which he easily accommodated for. We had a great time seeing Melbourne and would definitely use Chris again to guide us. We highly recommend him!
