I was truly born and bred in Melbourne, and I proudly represent the third generation of my family to call Australia home. With over three decades of guiding and lecturing experience under my belt - including 18 years as a licensed guide in Australia and another decade as a guide in Israel and Egypt - I'm incredibly passionate about helping you explore the marvels of Melbourne. In our wonderfully multicultural city, I also take immense pride in my Jewish heritage. One of the highlights of my career was receiving the "Cultural Tour Guide of the Year" award from Luxury Travel magazine, a recognition of my dedication to providing exceptional tours. My educational journey includes a bachelor's degree from the University of Melbourne, a master's from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and tour guide and travel agent diplomas from Australia, Israel, and Egypt. However, at the core of my being, I'm fueled by curiosity and a genuine love for learning and having a blast along the way. I've been an active member of the Professional Tour Guides Association of Australia for more than 18 years, during which time I've had the privilege of leading groups of all sizes - from one-person tours to groups as large as 110. For 14 years, I've operated my own tour company with pride. Having guided all the main shore excursions offered in Melbourne, I can honestly say that it's just as enjoyable for me as it is for my clients. My fervor for my city and country runs deep, and I revel in showcasing what makes them great. For me, the essence of a great tour lies in its ability to be fun, fascinating, and to offer insights you can't easily find on your own. Whether your interests lean toward food, history, art, culture, nature, shore excursions, Jewish history, or a blend of these, I'm here to craft a personalized experience for you. My specialty lies in tailoring tours to align perfectly with your interests. Allow me to unveil the Melbourne that will ignite your inspiration. Awarded Cutural Tour Guide of the Year by Luxury Travel Magazine Bachelors Degree (University of Melbourne) Masters Degree (Hebrew University of Jerusalem), Tour guide diploma, Travel agency diploma, Professional Tour Guide Association of Australia, Member, Guiding Organisations of Australia, Level II First Aid Lecturer at William Angliss culinary college Presenter at Melbourne food and wine festival For tours encompassing more than 4 hrs of driving I will hire a driver to accompany us
