Meet David

Why should travelers choose you above other local in-destination experts?

I personally started this business as a private tour guide in my hometown of Melbourne in 2015 and it gradually grew into the rest of the country (plus New Zealand and the South Pacific) over the course of 5 years.

What type of traveler appreciates your adventures?

Anyone who is craving authenticity and connecting with each destination on a local level as opposed to mass market tourism and cookie cutter itineraries.

What is one of your favorite experiences which you’ve been able to build for guests?

Experiencing indigenous culture whether it be Aboriginal or Maori are often highlights of our guests where they can immerse themselves in ancient rituals and wisdom away from the mass hoards of tourists.

Share the one travel experience that you will never forget

Seeing a past client weep and cry over how much her tour impacted her with joy was unforgettable. It was a powerful moment and validated why I think that travel can transform all of us to be better citizens and have more empathy.
