Tour Melborne with a local

Though Melbourne is a large and sprawling city, there is one local who knows how to show visitors the best sights and can pack them into a full day of touring: Mark Wain.

With his wife Dale, a New Zealander who has lived in Melbourne for 14 years, he takes no more than seven tourists at a time on a full-day tour of the city.

The price is $A88 ($114) for an adult and $A44 ($57) for a child, including entry fees to the Melbourne Cricket Ground and Rialto Towers.
