About

The Private Tour Guide is a family-owned operator dedicated to delivering premium private tours that showcase Australia through the eyes of trusted locals. Founded in Melbourne in 2011, the company has grown from a single Mercedes tour van into a network of passionate guides offering personalised journeys across Victoria, Sydney, and Tasmania.

Tours are crafted for travellers seeking more than just sightseeing. Each journey blends food, wine, culture, nature, and local stories to create enriching experiences. From Melbourne's laneways and café culture to the vineyard-draped hills of the Yarra Valley, from the wild beauty of the Great Ocean Road, every itinerary reflects the unique interests of each guest.

The company's hallmark is its personal touch. With no fixed itineraries, every tour is designed around individual preferences—whether that means a curated wine journey tailored to a guest's palate, a day exploring hidden coastal lookouts, or a multi-city itinerary that connects Australia's diverse regions seamlessly. Guides are knowledgeable, approachable, and down-to-earth, bringing destinations to life with insights and storytelling that make travelling with them feel like holidaying with a lifelong friend.

The Private Tour Guide provides more than just travel—it delivers genuine connection. With insider access, local expertise, and a warm, professional approach, guests discover more, connect deeper, and return home with memories that are as personal as they are extraordinary.

Brilliant walking tour yesterday! Matthew gave us an excellent introduction to Melbourne and was extremely knowledgable about the history and modern cultural aspects of the city. If you want a walking tour that’s personalised in a small group then this is the one to go for. Thank you for an interesting, informative and educational morning!
