Reviews of Our Perth Experiences

Wayne our guide was awesome. We enjoyed touring around by foot and by bus to see all that Perth has to offer.

Rhonda was an amazing tour guide! She was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the entire walking tour. She never rushed us and gave everyone plenty of time to enjoy each stop, take photos, and ask questions. Her explanations were detailed, interesting, and easy to follow, making the history and culture come alive. We truly appreciated her friendly personality and the care she put into making sure everyone had a great experience. I would highly recommend this tour with Rhonda to anyone visiting Australia. Thank you for such a wonderful day!

Wonderful tour. We were sent a questionnaire which helped match us to the best tour guide for us. We were very lucky to get Ling who took us on an amazing tour and showed us some hidden gems of the city. She even showed us a great spot for lunch, that we would never have discovered ourselves. As we are interested in art and architecture Ling showed us some amazing street art, sculptures and some wonderful buildings. Ling was a brilliant tour guide and we would highly recommend taking this tour.

Had a really great tour with our tour guide Ling. She showed us lots of places off the beaten track that we wouldn’t have found on our own and really personalised it to our own interests. She was very informative about the local area and recommended places for us to eat and visit later in our trip. All in all a wonderful experience and well worth the money.

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.

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.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Can I request a specific host?

You can request a host, but since most hosts have other commitments, we can't guarantee they'll be available. However, we carefully match you with a host based on your interests and preferences, making it feel like exploring with a friend rather than a stranger.

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.

What makes City Unscripted different?

We don’t do generic tours. Every experience is crafted around you, ensuring a unique, personal, and authentic way to explore the city. You won’t just see the sights—you’ll connect with the people and stories that bring the city to life.

How does my host personalize this experience?

After booking, you'll receive a questionnaire that captures your travel style, interests, and any specific requests. Your host will use this to tailor your experience, ensuring it reflects what excites you most.

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!

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 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.

What kind of stories and insights will my host share?

Each host has their own personal relationship with the city. You'll experience the city through their eyes—hearing stories about places they love, discovering hidden gems, and learning what makes their city special in a way that goes beyond a typical tour.

Will we enter attractions, or just explore from the outside?

That’s up to you! Some experiences include visits inside attractions, while others focus on the city's culture and atmosphere, which can be hard to truly experience without someone who knows the city inside out.

Are food and drinks included, or do I need to pay separately?

Unless stated otherwise, food and drinks are not included. Your host will take you to great spots where you can order what you like and pay as you go.

Do I need to pay for the host's food or drinks?

No, if you and your host decide to stop for food or drinks during your experience, you don’t need to cover your host’s expenses—your host will take care of their own.

Can my experience accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes! You'll receive a questionnaire right after booking where you can note any dietary requirements, and your host will tailor the experience accordingly.

How much walking is involved?

This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.

Do you have deals with restaurants or set food stops?

No, unlike traditional food tours, our hosts are free to take you to their personal favorite spots rather than fixed locations. This means your food experience will always be unique, with authentic and unbiased recommendations from someone who knows the local food scene best.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Your experience will still go ahead, and your host will adapt the day to suit the conditions. One of the great things about City Unscripted is that no two experiences are the same, and your host knows the city well enough to find great “rainy day” alternatives.

Is this experience physically demanding?

We can tailor the experience to be as active or relaxed as you like—just let us know what suits you best!

Can we explore outside the main city?

Yes! If you’re interested in day trips or exploring beyond the city, let us know in the post-booking questionnaire, and your host will design an itinerary that takes you to incredible places off the usual tourist path.

What makes a night experience different from daytime?

Cities take on a completely different character after dark—whether it’s quiet lantern-lit streets, lively food stalls, or buzzing nightlife, your host will show you the best of the city at night.

Can I combine nightlife with food or cultural experiences?

Absolutely! Many night experiences blend food, drinks, and cultural spots for a unique evening adventure.

Is it safe to explore at night?

Yes! Your host will guide you through safe and exciting areas so you can enjoy the city stress-free.

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.
