"Oh Darling, Let's Be Adventurers. " Explore with a Local! I have lived in Melbourne for over 30 years and call myself a local. I have a long-time love and passion for Melbourne, and created a city of Melbourne tour which covers the laneways, parks, gardens, historical buildings and the Golden Mile. I also venture past the city precinct into the first suburb of Melbourne, Fitzroy, to showcase wonderful street art, the buildings of Mac Robertson (chocolate entrepreneur), quirky shops and coffee shops/restaurants. My love of gourmet food, fine wine and walking saw the birth of Wine and Food Lovers' Tours — which offered group, private and flexible, tours of the stunning Victorian winery regions. The tours are sure to provide a memorable experience for any wine lover and outdoor enthusiast. I regular travel the Great Ocean Road (in both directions) and also visit our winery regions. Besides this, I have a passion for the bushland around Melbourne and can plan a hiking tour for travellers encompassing your interests. I am a member of Tour Guides Australia (TGA) and am an expert events coordinator, having worked for many years as a corporate conference and exhibition organiser. My experience as a leader of the Koonung Bushwalking Club, current leader of the South Gippsland Walking and Adventure Club, leader of the Strzelecki Bushwalking Club and Ladybirds Outdoors Adventures means that you are in safe hands as you enjoy the picturesque scenery of the Victorian countryside. I also speak German fluently. "Researching and planning itineraries has been an absolute pleasure, and is ongoing. I have met so many talented locals and am so excited to be able to showcase the magnificent sites of Melbourne and regional Victoria to both visitors from overseas as well as the locals—who may not have experienced their own backyard this way ever before! Whether you choose to do a walking or a driving tour, I am sure that your day will be an experience you will remember forever.

Patricia ​S created and delivered an extraordinary tour for my client—one that went far beyond expectations. Thanks to her thoughtfulness and dedication, my dear traveler was able to "go back in time" and visit the Australian high school where his daughter was an exchange student more than 30 years ago. He had never been able to visit her during her stay, but Patricia made it possible for him to experience that meaningful place in person. After that unforgettable stop, Patricia continued the day by guiding him through Melbourne and checking off every item on his must-see list. She is a remarkable guide who consistently goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional, deeply personal experiences. On a scale of 1 to 5, Patricia is a 10.

Patricia provided an excellent tour of the Victoria Market where we selected numerous, delicious food items and wine tasting for lunch. Patricia conferred with a prior tour guide to customize our day and avoiding duplicated sights. We continued to the Remembrance Shrine, F1 track, sports complex, parks, Fairy tree, Model Tudor Village and Capt. Cook's Cottage. We finished our wonderful day at the Eureka Tower observation deck where we noted all the places we had seen across the city in our tour.
