G’day! I’m Simon. A Melbourne local and enthusiastic professional tour guide. It would be my pleasure to show you around the city – and indeed the state – that I know and love.

Victoria might be Australia’s second smallest state, but the diversity of culture and landscapes here is unmatched. From bustling cities to sleepy towns, ragged mountains to pristine beaches, arid interior to lush forests, it’s all here. And you’ll find our capital Melbourne a delight to explore with its huge array foods, theatres, galleries, gardens and an endless calendar of events. It’s no wonder that we’re often called one of the world’s most liveable cities.

After a career in sales followed by a 10-year stint in the education sector, I became a tour guide so I could help visitors to Australia enjoy it as much as I do. When not working, you’ll often find me checking out a new café, restaurant or winery, or walking in one of our many stunning National Parks.

I have a small number of private tours listed here, but can customise these or tailor something completely different to suit your individual needs.

If you are organising a school, corporate or incentive group to come to Melbourne, I can provide guiding services to help your participants get an authentic local experience.

I am an Accredited Professional Guide with Tour Guides Australia and am authorised by Safe Transport Victoria to carry passengers. I also hold a current first aid certificate and Working With Children Check and am comprehensively insured.

Please browse my listed tours or send me a message and tell me what you are looking for. I will do everything I can to make your trip to Melbourne one you won’t forget.
