Tours

A perfect introduction to the city.

This tour will teach you a lot about Melbourne, for visitors and locals alike. I'll guide you through Melbourne's history, laneways, street art culture, architecture, and the political decisions that shaped it into what it is today. Along the way I'll point out the best cafes, bars, and restaurants to visit, and which ones steal the wages of their staff. I'll fill you in on all the best festivals, theatre, and comedy gigs that are happening too.
I recommend you book at the start of your visit to Melbourne to help you get the most out of your stay.

Locals will also enjoy this tour - you'll be surprised at how little you've questioned your city. 

A neighbourhood of luck and squandered opportunities.

The newest part of Melbourne's city. A lot of people poke fun at this disjointed patch of land, but don't know enough about it to critique it properly.
This tour will showcase some of the surprisingly successful parts, decode hidden architectural features, and laugh at the incoherent messes some developers have built. I'll teach you useful shortcuts through building foyers and rooftop walkways, and give you a glimpse of the future by teaching you the lessons developers have learnt from this big experiment called Docklands.

Tour the cultural inner-city neighbourhood.

Melbourne is known for its culture, this inner-city suburb is overflowing with it. It has the glossy things you see from tourism campaigns like live music, street art, cafes, comedy, and nightlife. But it also has a fascinating history. I'll teach you about colonization, communist gatherings, immigration waves, and how it became colloquially known as the People's Republic of Brunswick.
This tour is written with locals in mind, but visitors will enjoy seeing Brunswick's art, and learning more about how bricks transformed Melbourne's 19th century architecture.
