Friday, September 17, 8:00 pm Eastern Time – Melbourne’s Tesselaar Tulip Festival, Online

by

Get ready for something special. We’re traveling to Melbourne with no passport, no plane ticket and no luggage. And yet you’ll experience all the sights, sounds and stories with just your laptop, favorite snack and an amazing content creator.

The tour will last about 60 minutes and will be live-streamed by tour guide Alexander directly from Melbourne. Forget about slideshows or pre-recorded videos, this is a live broadcast and anything can happen!

While on the tour you’ll be able to see a full screen video of your content creator and their surroundings, interact with them and other travelers through the live chat, see where you are in the world on a map and show your appreciation with a tip.

If you’re a fan of Tulips then you’ll undoubtedly LOVE this tour! A festival dedicated entirely to Tulips, showcasing a variety of colors and patterns. This is an annual event.

Tulips are known for their bold colours, symmetry and exquisite shapes. They are a true symbol of unconditional love and, when you’re in a field full of them, it’s hard to not feel loved!

Heygo is running these tours on a tip-supported basis to make them as accessible as possible. They are free to join, but you have the option to leave a tip during the tour.

The majority of your tip goes directly to support the channel, while the rest helps Heygo continue to build a place that brings the world closer together. The event is sponsored by Heygo in conjunction with the American Horticultural Society and Garden Design Magazine. Register at https://www.heygo.com/tours/melbournes-tesselaar-tulip-festival
