Planning a few days in Melbourne?
There are so many things to do and see, it's hard to know where to start.
Perhaps you can see yourself with a glass of Yarra Valley wine in your hand, as you take in the breathtaking view.
Or feeding a kangaroo; or watching Little Penguins up close.
You might wander the markets or discover the strange beauty of Australia's native flora.
Melbourne is a city of rich history, great coffee and food from every culture on earth. But beyond the city there is the natural beauty of rugged coastlines and mountain ranges to explore.
Whatever you want to do and see in Melbourne and beyond, Simon can tailor a tour that's just right for you.

Melbourne: Take a Wider Look
DRIVING TOUR
Take a wider look at Greater Melbourne as we travel by car beyond the city centre to take in the sights that most visitors miss. Sure, there’s plenty to see in the CBD (and we’ll include many of these too) but locals spend time in places like Carlton, Fitzroy Gardens and St Kilda, and it’s worth finding out why.

" Simon was delightful company for the day - his wide-ranging background and knowledge meant that we had no end of things to talk about, in addition to all of the things he had to share. He curated an exceptional day and we enjoyed every minute of it. All that remains is for us to find another reason to return so we can tour with him again."
