My tour guide, Rhonda, is an amazing guide. Several months before the tour, we already started exchanging emails and planning the details of my tour. On the day of the tour, Rhonda was waiting for me at the lobby of my hotel. The tour itself was great. Lots of local knowledge, tips where to eat, what to see next etc. were shared with me. It was an amazing 3 hour walking tour, occasionally using the tram, which was great. Even after the tour, Rhonda sent me an email with further details regarding what we have discussed during the tour. She also offered help with planning any other activities during my stay in Melbourne I highly recommend Rhonda as a tour guide

Melbourne

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.

Helen

Perth

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.

Orientation Around Murray and Hay Streets

Finding your bearings

Your host could guide you around Perth’s central grid, explaining how the streets connect and where locals shop, work, and move. Some guests pause for tips on public transport, while others prefer to keep walking through the city’s pulse.

Everyday Life in Motion

Laneways and local rhythm

A Theme That Fits You

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.

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.

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!

Are there fitness, mobility, or accessibility requirements?

This is a walking experience, but it can be tailored to suit your pace and comfort. If you have mobility concerns or would prefer to minimize walking, let us know in advance—your host can adjust the route, include public transport or rest stops to suit your needs.

How do you ensure safety during the experience?

All our hosts are vetted and trained to provide safe, respectful, and enjoyable experiences. They know the city well and will avoid any unsafe or overly crowded areas. You’re in good hands throughout the day.

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 happens in case of bad weather?

Rain won’t stop your experience—your host will adjust the route if needed, choosing cozy indoor spots or covered food areas. City Unscripted experiences are flexible by design, and your host will make sure it’s just as enjoyable, whatever the weather.

What should I bring or wear?

Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather, as the day involves a good amount of walking. Bring a bottle of water, some cash for transport or optional purchases, and a phone charger if needed.
