Our history in Melbourne story begins back in 1854 when our Great Great Grandfather, Lorenzo Gagiero arrived here. Lorenzo, being one of the first Italians to arrive in Australia from Piedmont established a bakery at Woodend, near the goldfields north of Melbourne. Since that time, Lorenzo’s family descendants have lived in and around Melbourne for over 160 years.
Today in the tourism industry, Mark Gagiero heads the Team at Mark’s Melbourne Private Tours. We aim to continue on with that warm hospitality and friendliness that Lorenzo nurtured all those years ago in the bakery to Today’s overseas guests.
