Meet your Santa
Posi, our very own Santa
You might know Posi from our Yarra Valley wine tours. He also runs his own pedicab business around Melbourne, so this Christmas he’s bringing the two together, red suit and all.
He knows the city’s lights like the back of his hand. Just sit back, wave to the crowds and enjoy the ride.

- About one hour
- Starts and ends at Fed Square
