Vibrant art culture, edgy street art, a standing espresso joint and a Tokyo-esque alleyway.
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
There is an edgy side to Melbourne and it shines through in the city's vibrant street-art culture. You'll join one of our local Melbourne hosts to discover microcosms of the city’s art and cultural scene aka the laneways - who knew so much creativity could be unleashed in such a small space!
You’ll find every kind of street art possible hidden down unassuming alleyways, tiny lanes, and arcades so jam-packed with bars and eateries, and your host can’t wait to share as much of it as they can with you.
Discover the famous arcades which are known to be hubs of artistic expression, or why not duck down the city's back streets where the work of up-and-coming street art is hidden, for local eyes only.
Stop for a beer or a coffee (Aussie’s will always tell you their coffee is the best in the world, we’ll let you be the judge) or grab some dim sum from a hole-in-the-wall eatery en route to Meyer’s Place.
This quirky spot is reminiscent of the backstreets of Tokyo, with an Aussie twist thrown in of course - you’ll find small bars which double as arts and cultural venues, hosting arthouse film screenings, gallery exhibitions, and live music, all plastered by incredible street art.
And the best part is, no laneway will ever look the same twice, so what are you waiting for?

We really enjoyed this walking tour around Melbourne. The guide was very friendly and relaxed. The tour was informative and interesting, without being overwhelming. We saw lots of interesting and amazing sites and it was well worth the money.
Show moreBecause of my 3 full days short trip in Melbourne, I decided to book a personalized tour, to be able to get some city history, relevant places, architecture knowledge, fast, organized, as my time in the city was limited and had no opportunity to read or get informed, prior the trip. Chris (my guide), after the usual greetings, took his time to break the ice, and get one more confirmation about my interests, making sure that i hadn't change my mind. In 3, almost 4 hours, Chris has managed to take me to great, beautiful places in Melbourne, starting with iconic Flinders Street and Station, to St Patrick's Cathedral, the Parliament House, Royal Building, ACDC street and so many others ...and at every stop Chris provided relevant facts and the story behind each place/building. It's quite amazing how much information and knowledge you get from 4 hours of conversing, walking, listening and enjoying the views. Chris made sure that I get enough pointers and suggestions from my next day, and because of his tips succeeded to have a very "proficient" day on my own as well. For those who have limited time in Melbourne, and you want to get to know the city and its beauty, I highly recommend the tour, and Chris :-) - as his love and admiration for the city contributed to my decision to return next year.

Show moreMaeve was AMAZING! She asked what was most appealing to us in order to ensure we had the best experience possible. When we shared that we were open to anything that was uniquely Australian, she catered our tour to bring in as much Australian history as could be compacted into a few hours. All the while, she was personable, funny, welcoming, knowledgeable, and engaging.
Show moreOndrej delivered a very good city tour in Melbourne for our group. Unfortunately we only had one day to experience Melbourne from a cruise but Ondrej did a great job taking us to all the highlights and was very flexible on the itinerary. He was also a very good communicator both before and during the tour. IIhighly recommend Ondrej and City Unscripted.
Show moreVery interesting to book with City Unscripted, our first time. Love the idea of being guided by a local and ask questions about current events, places to go, and what we're seeing around town. Our guide, Rhonda, did a great job taking us to see the interesting parts of Melbourne and answering our questions. Very nice follow-up afterword with an email on hiking, attractions, and restaurants for the rest of our stay.
