We look forward to meeiting you on one of our Tours, or Outings.
Fiona Sweetman Director - Born and raised in Melbourne, it wasn't until 1992 that Fiona ventured overseas. Its this appreciation of both local destinations and international niche areas that Fiona feeds from to create innovative Melbourne experiences. Her reputation in promoting local talent to consumers and tourism bodies encourages a fresh way of presenting retail, hospitality, and tourism. With an enthusiasm for small business and a love of the intricate history of her home town, Fiona having been the face of Hidden Secrets Tours since its launch, took over the full operations of Hidden Secrets Tours in April 2006. fiona @ hiddensecretstours.com see Fiona's CV
Katherine Cameron - Operations Manager Kath joined Hidden Secrets tours in July 2007, taking on her new position in April 2010. She continues to host tours, the Lanes & Arcades, Sommeliers Walks, Private options, and personal styling sessions - her speciality. Originally from the UK, immigration to NZ with her family in 1986, was followed by several years travelling and working in Europe and the UK. Here since 2007, Kath now considers Melbourne home, excited by the creative community that surrounds her. After 9 years working as a qualified health professional, her keen interest to pursue a new career within a smaller creative business, and her enthusiasm with a full time position at Hidden Secrets Tours is fitting her well. We are as excited as Katherine is to take her part in our growing business and love her sharing of the city and its hidden secrets.

Laura Hughes - Tour Host - Laura stopped Fiona one day on a tour in an arcade, and asked how she could do the same thing.. thats how it started.... Perhaps her new found love of Melbourne, or the wish to practice her skills in Drama, Laura joined the growing Hidden Secrets Tours team quietly in April 2008. Enjoying a diverse CV of job skills outside of tourism, Laura brings a fresh yet vintage attitude to The Lanes & Arcades walks of the city. Her subtle style of delivery is a welcome addition to the company. Look out for her zines at Sticky too! tours @ hiddensecretstours.com
