Do you want to experience Victoria through an exclusive, insider lens? G’day! I’m Peter — traveller, explorer, adventurer, and a lifelong enthusiast of business, economics, treasure hunting and metal detecting. I’ve built a reputation for showing guests a side of Victoria that standard itineraries simply can’t reach. Forget rigid schedules, generic commentary and cookie‑cutter sightseeing. My fully private, bespoke journeys are crafted around your pace, your interests and your sense of adventure. In fact, my tours have proven so successful that I have created a tour operation which now services visitors to three states of Australia, with many guides whom I have trained. You’ll explore in comfort aboard my 5‑series BMW, perfect for up to four passengers, and I always aim to create the feeling that you’re travelling with an old friend rather than a guide. Whether we’re discovering Melbourne’s hidden corners, heading down the Mornington Peninsula, cruising the Great Ocean Road, or venturing into the mountain ranges around the city, you can expect stunning locations, rich stories, plenty of laughs, great photos and authentic Australian cuisine along the way. Travelling with a group? No worries — I can quickly organise a larger vehicle, up to a 12‑seater if needed. Even better, the per‑person cost decreases as the group size increases. If you’re looking for a tour that’s personal, flexible, memorable and genuinely unique, send me a message. I’d love to show you my Victoria.

This tour will take you to the mountains of Melbourne. You will experience the unique mountain climate and village atmosphere of the quaint suburbs we visit. See a different side of Melbourne - the mountainside. The scenery is breath-taking and views are amazing. See and hear a wide variety of wildlife in their natural environment as we go bush walking. This is a classic nature tour which will immerse you in Melbourne's natural environment. A great tour for the whole family. It is not rushed, yet you will get to experience five different locations. This is personally my favourite tour. It's not too long or strenuous and includes lunch as well as interaction with wildlife. I really like how we get to experience a number of really interesting locations in a natural environment that is so different to what is found in the city below these mountains. The default start time for this tour is 5pm, however, since this is a private tour it's possible to customise the starting time to suit your preferences
We had a lovely day with Peter. If you enjoy nature, good company and seeing beyond the city this tour is for you!
The Sky High Bush Tour was such a great way to get out of the "city" part of Melbourne. Peter was a very knowledgeable guide for our tour of the bush. We enjoyed a lovely picnic lunch with Peter and he changed up some of our tour to accommodate our requests. Peter was right on time to pick us up at our cruise ship and returned us in plenty of time to the port. We enjoyed a day with Peter learning more about Australia that we could have imagined!
The first stop is a quaint little mountain village you can explore while waiting for your meal to be freshly cooked, before heading into the bush to eat and explore. The natural picnic environment is often frequented by native birds such as Cockatoos, Rosellas and Kookaburras. Following the picnic, we head off for a short bushwalk to burn off some calories before driving further into the mountains to visit a local botanical garden. We have two options here, with the selection of the garden based on fitness and mobility levels of guests. Location five is a lookout near to which is, what some past French tourists described as, "Melbourne's Eiffel Tower". The lookout allows you to see the city below with the Melbourne skyline in the distance on a clear day. Heading down the mountain we stop to visit an inland facing lookout with views of the huge dam which supplies Melbourne with water.
