Rhonda was an excellent...

Published on Feb, 2025

Rhonda was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. I had a very pleasant time with her. She even showed me how to get on the train to get back to my hotel and waited with me to board. I appreciate all the care she took to assure that I had a good experience.

Great 1/2 Day Tour of Melbourne

Published on Jan, 2025

Very 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.

Great introduction to Melbourne

Published on Jan, 2025

Excellent introduction to Melbourne. I’ve visited before but not spent time wandering around the City. Ondrej showed us lots of places I wouldn’t have found. The National Gallery was interesting. We know lots of places/areas where we can go for dinner.

Great guide! Great experience in Melbourne…

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide, Ondrej, was a local who was seriously steeped in Melbourne history and culture. We covered major sights and little known ones. We walked all over the city, exploring areas of interest to us. Great experience!

Maeve is Amazing!

Published on Nov, 2024

Maeve was amazing. Great communication, thoughtful, and extremely knowledgeable about the city of Melbourne both past and present. I told her she should have been a historian. Consummate professional. I would recommend her to anyone visiting the city.
