There's always more to a place than first meets the eye. My tours aim to bring you on a journey to the very core of what makes every place unique—the people, the stories and the local culture. On my tours, I aim for you to experience the unique beauty of nature and Melbourne's diverse culture. I always suggest the most popular itinerary first and listen to your preferences to craft a tailor-made tour for the best experience. A bit about me: I started guiding when I was a teenager from being mountain guide since then, I got more into tour guiding and have been a guide for more than 20 years now, I did tour guiding in Iran, Armenia, Georgia, Uzbekistan and Turkey before and I have been doing guiding in Melbourne continuously for the last 10 years. - Accredited member of Tour Guides Australia - 20 years experience in tour gyuiding - Nominated by Lonely planet I have a four-seater. For bigger groups and/or if you have any other preferences, I can hire people mover or van or a different make of four-seater too. But to secure the vehicle's availability, I appreciate you letting me know with some notice.

Experience Australian unique wildlife and get amazed by world class experience Penguin parade
Overview of your Melbourne tour
Hello, amazing people! On this tour, first up, we'll start from beautiful St Kilda and Brighton Beach suburbs; then, we'll stop at Maru Animal Park, home to koalas and kangaroos. Here, you'll have the chance to engage with Australia's most famed animals and learn about Philip Island's wildlife. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even hand-feed kangaroos! On our way, I will share many stories about nature and the Island, which you could only have known if you were a local, a historian and a Zoologist! Next up, we'll walk along the boardwalk at the Nobbies, where fur seals lounge on rocks, wallabies hop through the grassy expanses, and geese wander up to cars. To top off the day, watch hundreds of penguins waddling from the beach to their burrows for the night while the sun sets into the glimmering waters of the Southern Ocean. This penguin parade is a delightful daily routine not to be missed! I also take my surprise signature video from you so you can remember your new friend in Melbourne forever!
