Maeve was amazing!! A great blend of history, touring the area and discovering some fun and quirky shops and getting a lay of the land in Melbourne. Such a great way to get to discover the city and find the places we wanted to go back to. Highly recommend! Melbourne is a fantastic city.

My husband and I recently did a full day tour with Sebastien as our guide. This was the first "private" tour we have done and it won't be the last! I was able to send Sebastien a 2 page list of places we were interested in seeing - he was then able to work up a tentative route ahead of time. We ticked every item but one off the list!! We did a lot of walking, heard a lot of interesting historical facts and stories and got several suggestions of other interesting places to visit in Melbourne. I would take another tour with City Unscripted again!

Chris met us at our hotel and spent 3 hour showing and telling us about Melbourne. He was nice and very knowledgeable. Melbourne has many hidden points of interest you could. never find without the help of a local.

What you’ll do

Melbourne is famous for its unique vibe and creative, progressive arts and music culture. You’ll join one of our local Melbourne hosts to experience just that, and get under the skin of this arty city. Think unique restaurants and bars with a focus on sustainable living, the coolest markets and festivals, quirky hipster spots, and skinny laneways.

Try cappuccinos served in avocados (not for everyone, perhaps), enjoy the best secret view of Melbourne, rummage through vintage stores or chill with some sun-loving penguins! If you’re more of a nocturnal creature, explore Melbourne’s rooftop bars, lively Chinatown or get carried away with some festival vibes.

Or if your experience is in the morning, why not start your day the Melbourne way with brunch in dreamy Degraves Street and Italian style coffee from Degraves Espresso, peruse a quirky market and explore the city’s street art scene.

Or, play it really local and head to the northern suburbs where you can explore neighborhoods like Fitzroy and Carlton, where all the cool kids come to play. Time to get exploring, this city has more than enough quirk for everyone!
