Hi, I’m Cherida, a local host in Melbourne with a deep appreciation for the city’s rich history, incredible food, and vibrant culture. I know Melbourne’s iconic spots, but what excites me most are the hidden gems—unique boutiques tucked into laneways, family-run eateries serving unforgettable meals, and second-hand bookshops filled with local literary treasures. Whether it’s a high-end restaurant or a beloved budget-friendly spot, I love discovering the best places to eat and sharing them with others. From the bustling streets of the CBD to the creative hubs of Fitzroy and Collingwood, I enjoy helping visitors experience the real Melbourne. Whether you're here for history, shopping, or a taste of the city’s world-class dining scene, I’d love to introduce you to the places that make Melbourne truly special.
It was personalized. My guide, Cherita was outstanding. Very knowledgeable. A really good mix of planned and spontaneous tour. Great personality and we laughed alot as we made our war through Melbourne.

I am so excited to have found City Unscripted! I can’t believe we had a dedicated, local tour guide for such an affordable price. They have you complete a questionnaire to match up your interests. Our guide, Cherida, was wonderful. She provided a great overview of the city for us. I will be looking for City Unscripted on all my new cities I visit!
