Melbourne & More

G’day! I’m Simon. A Melbourne local and enthusiastic professional tour guide. It would be my pleasure to show you around the city – and indeed the state – that I know and love.

Victoria might be Australia’s second smallest state, but the diversity of culture and landscapes here is unmatched. From bustling cities to sleepy towns, ragged mountains to pristine beaches, arid interior to lush forests, it’s all here. And you’ll find our capital Melbourne a delight to explore with its huge array foods, theatres, galleries, gardens and an endless calendar of events. It’s no wonder that we’re often called one of the world’s most liveable cities.

After a career in sales followed by a 10-year stint in the education sector, I became a tour guide so I could help visitors to Australia enjoy it as much as I do. When not working, you’ll often find me checking out a new café, restaurant or winery, or walking in one of our many stunning National Parks.

My first audio tour, 'Gold, Ghosts & Grit', is now available on VoiceMap.
