Hello! My name is Alice. I am French, born and bred, and since my childhood I have travelled across France, Europe and North America. Hence my passion for travelling and discovering new countries, cultures and people. When not travelling physically, my parents who were avid cinephiles showed me loads of films, and a high variety of shows and artworks to feed my passion and curiosity of others. During my studies and at the start of my career I had the opportunity to live in different countries - Germany, Canada and Italy- and to experience locals' day to day lives, discovering in depth their cultures, learning their language and even befriending them. I moved in Melbourne a few years ago with my husband and 2 daughters and very soon I fell in love with the city, the history it carries, and all the stories and treasuries it hides. That's how I've decided to combine my passion with my occupation and to become a tour guide. I will be honored to take you on tour and show you Melbourne, its architecture, its main landmarks as well as its very hidden streets. And I will help you to understand how it was founded and how it became this vibrant modern city that we know today. As a French native I will share with you my personal vision of Melbourne, nourished by my own culture and the experience I've gathered travelling and living abroad. And I would love to exchange with you about your own experience as a traveler. I will be happy to get in touch with you before the tour to understand your interests and expectations and to tailor the tour for you. Melbourne is a city best discovered on foot so I don't drive a car for my tours. However, I can arrange any kind of public transportation to bring you to the places you'd like to discover. I can hold my tours either in English or in French. I will also be able to converse with you in Italian or German, before or during the tour, if those are any of your favorite languages. I hope to meet you soon! - Tour Guides Australia (TGA) member - TGA Micro Credential Training Course in May 2023 - Public Liability insurance cover - First Aid certification : first aid, anaphylaxis, asthma, CPR - Master's Degree in IT Engineering I am not a driver ; I will guide you to explore Melbourne on foot and - if needed and agreed with you - by public transportation (mainly trams.)

There were 4 of us visiting from the US and we had a terrific morning with Alice and the Melbourne gold rush, Ned Kelly, banks, architecture, trolleys, lane ways, coffee, food and more. All of us enjoyed it. She was conversational and engaging. As we asked questions Alice built on them - excellent listening. We weren’t focused specifically on price but it was less...

We spent 5 hours walking in Melbourne captured by the beauty and the energy of the city. Alice, our guide, was terrific ! The information provided helped us to have a better understsnding of the visited places. Alice speaks also fluent Italian and this was a major plus.
