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!

A really great walking tour. Donna was fantastic. She knew a lot about Melbourne and took us to all the places we wanted to see and some extra places. It was very interesting and we learnt a lot. Thank you Donna for a lovely experience.

What you’ll do

Melbourne is a colorful hub thriving with cultural and artistic diversity - anyone who has visited this lively city will tell you that its vibrant energy is what gives this place its unique character. That, and its Antipodean coffee culture and penchant for craft brews. You’ll join one of our local Melbourne hosts to experience what makes Melbourne so unmissable - a tall order in just one day!

We know it’s not enough time to see all of the must-see spots, but you can try to squeeze in as much as possible.

Although really, it all comes down to what you think is unmissable - do you already have a list of spots you’ve been dying to visit, or would you like to leave it up to your host to share with you what they think is unmissable about their city?

Soak up the city's laid-back lifestyle, mingle with the locals, and plug into the energy of Melbourne. You could visit trendy neighborhoods in the northern suburbs, stroll through the CBD and see iconic architecture and historic spots along the Yarra River or let your host take the reins completely, we know they’ll always have a surprise or two up their sleeve!
