Hello! I'm Michael, an experienced and enthusiastic tour guide who is ready to share the wonderful city of Melbourne and state of Victoria. After living in London for many years I really appreciate the amazing food, wine, coffee, nature and wildlife we have here on our doorstep. As a born and bred Melbournian and a direct decedent of one of the founders of Melbourne, I am here to share the interesting and at times, turbulent history of Melbourne with you. My tours range from a 3hr quick city tour to on overnight adventure discovering the further reaches of Victoria. Example tours include: Melbourne city ( history, laneways, parks and gardens, coffee hidden bars) Great Ocean Road ( 1 day or overnight options) Mornington Peninsula ( food, wine, wildlife) Can be combined with great Ocean Road Yarra Valley ( food, wine, gin) All tours are totally flexible to meet your requests and timeframe. I can accommodate up to 5 guests comfortably which includes picking and return to your hotel or port Thank you for looking at my profile and I hope to see you soon! Michael
