I have taken friends and family to places of interest and have been praised for my knowledge of local history, and sense of direction. My tours include markets, mansions, and other highlights of Melbourne along with Jewish history, one of my most popular tours. Come along as I collect you from your hotel, port or airport and drive you to major markers of the city in my comfortable SUV with a panoramic sunroof. Looking forward to showing you around.
