We booked a day tour of the Melbourne area with Michelle, focused mostly on the city itself. A couple of days before, we realized we had not yet seen kangaroos in the wild, even after almost 4 weeks of being in Australia. Since we were running out of time, we contacted Michelle and told her this, asking her to reorient the tour to see if we could find some. Within that day, she set something up, mostly outside of the city, including a very unique art/park walk which was a highlight. In the end, we saw our roos and still had a great time. We even had some time to tour a couple of the unique neighborhoods of Melbourne itself. We walked away happy and carrying a list from Michelle that kept us busy for the next two days. Michelle is an excellent communicator, very knowledgeable, able to pivot very quickly, and extremely dedicated to seeing her clients get what they want. We would gladly engage her for another tour if we find ourselves in the Melbourne area again.

I am. . . . a born and bred Melbournian, energetic, love travel, having fun, and meeting new people. I'll give you a tour as if you only have one day in Melbourne and need to know everything. Prior to the tour, I will ask you what you hope to get from the tour and any particular interests. I am happy to be available to you before or after the tour for questions or advice. I can offer you a variety of tours and durations - just ask. I am passionate about Melbourne and would love to pass my enthusiasm about this place on to you. My guiding has received great reviews that I am proud of and work hard to maintain. I am a member of The Professional Tour Guides Association of Australia and also the Guiding Organisation of Australia. I have done the Australian Tourism Accreditation Program. I have a Bachelor of Education and a post-graduate Diploma in Marketing and Counselling. I am fit and first aid certified. I am a mother, wife, volunteer, and soccer coach. I love sharing my passion for Melbourne anyway I can - by car, bus, tram or walking. You pick! I prefer not to guide the Great Ocean Road - driving 7 hours is not my idea of fun! :)

Your Melbourne tour itinerary
This is so flexible. We wilI start by looking over a map together to discuss your tour. Then off we go. . . . Melbourne's personality is in its cafes, restaurants, sports, fashion, arts and history. A city tour is best conducted using public transport due to a lack of parking. This tour is very comprehensive. If you have difficulties walking, we can explore by car. Please advise. We could see the Royal Botanical Gardens, Federation Square, Sports Precinct, The National Gallery of Victoria, Ian Potter Gallery, The Shrine of Remembrance, Old Treasury Building, Parliament House, St Patricks Cathedral, St Paul Cathedral, famous laneways and arcades, street art, Brunswick St in Fitzroy (our hipster area), Lygon St (Little Italy) in Carlton, The Melbourne Museum, The Royal Exhibition Buildings (World UNESCO site), and the Queen Victoria Market (closed Mon & Wed). Lots more. . . Alternately, we can head out of Melbourne to see animals, hot springs, or a winery. Additional entrance charges may apply for you.
