Hello, so good to meet you!
My name is Matthias Arteaga. I'm a tour guide, video editor and content creator, with a passion for people and for the city of Melbourne.
In a world where artificial intelligence is increasingly omnipresent, I believe that the authenticity of human interactions has an incomparable value.

From a small town on the French Atlantic coast to Melbourne, from a chemical engineer background to a career as a tour guide, discover my profile!
My projects
I've always had a creative spirit and a desire to tell stories. As I gained experience and improved my web design, social media and communication skills, it gave me the opportunity to develop various projects that are all particularly close to my heart.
In 2024, I began a Master's degree in Media and Communication at Swinburne University. My goal: to specialise in video production, giving me a different way of telling stories, through the lens of my camera.
Finally, find details of all the projects I have worked on recently on the dedicated page of this website!
The most important of these projects is certainly Inside My Melbourne. In 2024, I created the website insidemymelbourne.com, on which I share my favourite places and activities in Melbourne, as well as the untold secrets of the city. I also share the content I create on social media.
What people said about me
Matthias took us on a great private tour during our honeymoon! We did an evening dinner, tales, and cocktails experience around Melbourne and went to some great spots with live music, a wine bar, and fun cocktails. He was very knowledgeable about everything Melbourne, present and past, and we had so much fun hanging out with Matthias on one of our last nights in the city! We would highly recommend any tour with Matthias!

Matthias was very personable and took time as soon as we met to get to know my wife and me and personalize our tour to what we wanted to see and do and eat. [...] We also went down several streets that exhibited street art and Matthias told us about several of the artists. [...] We even got to see an artist at work on Hosier Lane that Matthias knew. [...] Matthias is a great tour guide and an even better person!

Here are some of the many reviews I have received from visitors I have had on tour, in and around Melbourne!

A wonderful morning with Matthias Arteaga. We were collected from our hotel by Matthias who was genuinely pleased to see us and asked us what we would like to see. We tailored the tour to our requirements and had a lovely morning. Matthias was very informative and knowledgeable, amusing and clearly enjoys his role as a tour guide. Strongly recommend this tour and hopefully you will get Matthias as a guide.

Had a GREAT time last night on our progressive dinner with Matthias. We would never have known about the three spots we went to and felt like a local. Matthias was so knowledgeable about all things Melbourne and so very fun to chat with!!!! Thanks for sharing your love of Melbourne.
