Global Hearts Tours are cultural tours of Melbourne that introduce international visitors to local Australians. Instead of only going to see the big attractions of Melbourne, we look closer at the everyday life of Australians. Where do Australian's shop? How do you order a coffee in the Australian style? Where do Australians meet up with their friends and have fun on weekends? We show off the real Aussie lifestyle!

Our tour guides are young Aussie University students who are studying foreign languages. They can speak fluently, and they are also native speakers of English. If you want to try out your high school English then you can do it with no worries on Global Hearts!

We run tours that go for three hours, introduce Japanese and Chinese people to Australian youth culture and do it all in a happy mix of Japanese/Chinese and English!
