Reviews of Our Perth Experiences

Peter was extremely knowledgeable and moved at our pace. Highly recommend him

Doug

Sydney

Peter was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable on everything he spoke about. We also had a great time with him.

Debbie

I did the Melbourne: City Highlights & Hidden Gem Private Walking Tour with Ondrej, and it was absolutely fantastic! As I was travelling alone, I really appreciated how friendly, easy-going, and engaging Ondrej was — it felt like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local friend. He tailored the tour perfectly to my interests, showing me both Melbourne’s iconic landmarks and hidden corners I never would have discovered on my own. Ondrej also took wonderful photos throughout the day — of me and of the city — and sent them afterward, which was such a thoughtful touch and a great way to remember the experience. His passion for Melbourne really shines through, and his stories and insights made the city come alive. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better day. Highly recommend this tour — especially with Ondrej!

Great tour, recommended for anyone visiting Melbourne to get familiar with the city and feel its vibe. Very much tailored to your liking.

Ondrej spent four wonderful hours with us, showing us the city and giving us a real feel for Melbourne, not glossing over anything. It was truly an amazing experience. We saw some amazing street art and artists and toured the market, drank some wonderful coffee and ate some fantastic pastries. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Melbourne.

St George’s Terrace & Gardens

Iconic start with a twist

Essential Perth: Famous Sites & Local Stories

You might begin at Perth Town Hall and wander along St George’s Terrace, pausing at Government House Gardens. Some guests linger for colonial stories, others take a quick look before heading toward modern contrasts.

Elizabeth Quay Riverside Walk

Landmark views with room to adapt

From here, your host could guide you through Elizabeth Quay. Some guests pause for Bell Tower views and coffee by the river. Others prefer to keep walking along the promenade for skyline photos.

Cultural Centre & Laneways

Art, history, and local life

Your host may take you into the Perth Cultural Centre, where museums and courtyards blend with street murals and laneway cafés. Some guests dive deep into stories; others skim the atmosphere before continuing.

Kings Park & Botanic Garden

Nature above the city

After the bustle, you could step into Kings Park. Some guests explore trails and Indigenous plants, others linger at the war memorial lookout for panoramic skyline views.

Optional Close: A Laneway Bar

A quiet finish or lively pause

You might end in a tucked-away CBD or Northbridge laneway. Some guests relax with a final drink, others finish with a quick orientation before heading out on their own.

Your FAQs

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary.

Can I adjust the plan on the day?

Absolutely. Your host can adjust the itinerary on the day based on your pace, energy, or any new ideas you have. It’s a flexible experience from start to finish.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.

What if I want to extend or shorten the day on the go?

If you’d like to extend your time with your host, simply ask if they’re available and continue the tour. Hosts can’t accept payment directly, so once you’re done, contact our customer service team at info@cityunscripted.com to arrange payment. And if you need to finish early, that’s no problem at all!
