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.)

Join me for a leisurely wander of 3 hours to discover the very rich history and architecture of Melbourne. In this tour I will bring you to some less touristic and less visited parts of the city, hiding the most beautiful gems built during the Gold Rush era, back in the mid 19th century. At that time Melbourne had become one of the wealthiest cities in the world and was called "the Marvelous Melbourne". And a significant part of the money coming from the gold has been used to build magnificent houses and building, willing to show how rich Melbourne was! We will be mainly walking; still we have the option to catch a tram whenever we feel it necessary during the tour.
The tour can be tailored to your owns interests, our start/stop location will be at your own convenience and we'll go at your pace, so every tour will be pretty unique! From the Melbourne Town Hall to the recently fully restored Parliament of Victoria, from the Old Treasury Building, intended to store the gold extracted from the mines, to the UNESCO heritage listed Exhibition building and its gardens, I'll guide you through the gems built during the Marvellous Melbourne time.
Tell your guide which places matter to you, skip what doesn't, and tailor the experience for your group's needs. Not finding what you want? Message your guide to build something unique.
