About your guide: Cherida
A lifelong learner with a passion for exploration, I’ve traveled extensively and love walking tours—they’re the best way to get oriented, meet people, and uncover hidden gems. I created this tour to share that experience in my own city. Keeping it small allows for deeper engagement, personalized insights, and the flexibility to explore details larger groups miss. As a proud Melburnian, I can’t wait to share Carlton with you.
