How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
The kind citizens of Melbourne obviously had you in mind whilst developing their beautiful, sunshine-filled metropolis - why else does this astounding city offer everything you could possibly wish for on a family trip?
Melbourne is the capital of all things art and culture in Aus, and once you’ve thrown in some beaches, farmers’ markets full of good, wholesome food, and the local wildlife, you’ve got everything you’d need to keep kids of any age entertained.
Your little ones could dance themselves silly at the Camouflage Disco or take an Aboriginal Heritage Walk through the Botanical Gardens.
Maybe your tribe’s vibe is more ocean than the city, so you could head to a beach-side suburb where they can bodyboard to their heart’s content - one neighborhood we have in mind even has a vintage theme park, so even big kids (we mean you, parents) can join in on the fun!
The point is, whatever your family’s style, there’s a Melbourne to suit, and your local Melbourne host can’t wait to share that with you!

Michael was extremely knowledgeable and provided me with information that made Melbourne such an interesting place to visit.

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!

We had Maeve as our tour guide, and she made our day. What a joy to spend a day like this. I thought the 8 hour tour might be a bit long, but with Maeve the day flew by, and anything less wouldn't have been enough. Thank you so much, Maeve for a fantastic experience.

We had a wonderfully enjoyable day with Maeve. It couldn't have gone better. We signed up for an 8 hour tour, which on second thought is a bit long, but anything less wouldn't have been as much fun. I am so glad we got her for the full day. She made our trip unforgettable, and we would have missed so much of Melbourne if it weren't for her.
