Everything. Maeve was a great guide!

Really enjoyed my two days with Ondrej in Melbourne. Great introduction to the great city by someone who really loves it.

Anthony 13 May 2025

Michael was extremely knowledgeable and provided me with information that made Melbourne such an interesting place to visit. He provided cultural values and historical aspects that enabled me to appreciate my time I’m spending in this wonderful city.. He was an excellent guide and I enjoyed my time spent with him.

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.
