We enjoyed the places she showed us, but with the traffic noise and limited time it just felt like we just started to scratch the surface. She was very, very pleasant to work with.Not enough time

Great Orientation of Melbourne With only one day and very few hours in Melbourne, Mary gave us a great orientation of the city. We felt like locals, having explored the hidden gems and major points of interest, as well she gave us a lot of inspiration to return. Don’t miss being shown around by Mary!We had a lovely time!

More about me

👋 Hello there! We’re Geetika & Gourav (or just one of us—depending on availability!)

We’re Melbourne lovers, travel junkies, and your soon-to-be favourite local guides! If you're into discovering cool spots, collecting good vibes, and laughing your way through the city (with the occasional dad joke or dance move), we’ve got you covered.

You’ll usually find us exploring the city together on weekends—that’s when we’re most available—but if you have a different day in mind, just let us know! We’ll do our best to make it work around our schedule.

Whether it’s Geetika, the self-proclaimed queen of fun, or Gourav, the trivia king with a camera always ready—we bring energy, stories, and local secrets to every tour. And when we team up? It’s double the fun, double the facts, and double the photo ops!

Melbourne truly has our heart—it’s bursting with culture, hidden gems, and everyday magic. We’d love to share that with you through laughter-filled walks, Insta-worthy views, and the kind of banter that makes you feel like you’re out with friends.

✨ One thing’s for sure: you’ll leave with awesome memories, fresh perspective, and maybe even a cheeky new follow on Instagram (that’s us 👀).

📸 Check out some of our past adventures!

Let’s explore Melbourne—your way, our way, the fun way. See you soon! 🌟
