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!
