I am a passionate traveller and explorer. You've probably heard this before, but the reality is that my life has been designed around my passion for travel. I have never worked a full-time job in my life, as that would restrict my travels. Since my university days I have been in business and designed my business operations in a way that ensures I have plenty of time to travel both in and around Australia, as well as other parts of the world. Today, I am the owner of a Melbourne based tour operation, and am able to earn an income from my passion. I design each and every tour from the perspective of a tourist, incorporating elements which make the tours interesting, innovative and unique. I tend to focus on beautiful locations which are not known by the general public, allowing my guests to experience something different, yet exciting and unexpected. For example, I have possibly the best Great Ocean Road tour on the market. I cover more locations that others in the same amount of time. This is simply because we start later avoiding the traffic, and do the loop in the opposite direction. The hour or so saved on driving allows that hour to be spent on two additional locations. Simple, yet effective! My passion for travel, exploration and sharing these experiences in reflected in my approach to my guests and the tours themselves - never rushed and always informative and entertaining. Apart from travel, I am passionate about business and commerce. I have a business consultancy firm in Australia as well as a cleaning and personal services business in Poland. I spend time on self development learning practical skills such as website design, graphic design, film editing and other skills which can be applied in a business setting. At nights I am often seen in parks and beaches around Melbourne metal detecting and treasure hunting. In fact, I am an experienced international treasure hunter where I take my metal detecting equipment with me on my international travels. In the past I invested in shares and options, being a level 4 options trader. In more recent years I have taken my investment funds and used them to invest in Australian souvenirs and gifts which I wholesale and export to Europe.

Insured against public liability to the value of $20 million. My transport vehicle is a 5 series BMW. However, having three reasonably sized passengers in the back may cause some discomfort. If you have a group of 4, consider your comfort tolerance levels. I can source a 7, 9, 10 or 12 seater vehicle, as needed.

    Peter is a great guide. Highly recommend this tour. It is a lot of driving but the views are worth the drive.

    Unfortunately we did not get the tour we had requested. Most importantly we wanted to see the animals and our guide did not take us on that tour. We were very disappointed & never got to see the koalas or kangaroos or other animals.

    You were picked up in a hired 7 seater luxury vehicle from the cruise terminal and we explored, the arts, parks and gardens precincts, the city. We drove along the Formula 1 track with stops for photo shoots at the starting line and pits. We visited the Dendy St Beach with a history talk and photoshoot. We did this in a period of 3+ hours. I made the very rare mistake of...

    Peter provided an enjoyable day for the Great Ocean Road Discovery Tour. We went first to the Grotto and the 12 Apostles to avoid the crowds. There was no one at the Grotto and hardly anyone at the 12 Apostles which was great. I was able to take photos without having to get around others. We went to an animal sanctuary which I really enjoyed. I petted a koala and fed...
