      Maeve is Amazing!
      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.

      Great mini tour of Melbourne
      Ondrej did a great job showing us the highlights of Melbourne. He showed us key locations representing culture, art, history, sports, and dining options. He’s very knowledgeable of the evolution of Melbourne and current events. His experience as a professional journalist was really helpful. Highly recommend him!!

      Friendly relaxed walking tour.
      Emma took us on a three hour walking tour in Melbourne commercial district. She met us at our hotel. She was very pleasant and friendly. She maintained a comfortable pace. She was well informed and flexible.

      Great walking tour with Sebastien!
      My husband and I recently did a full day tour with Sebastien as our guide. This was the first "private" tour we have done and it won't be the last! I was able to send Sebastien a 2 page list of places we were interested in seeing - he was then able to work up a tentative route ahead of time. We ticked every item but one off the list!! We did a lot of walking, heard a lot of interesting historical facts and stories and got several suggestions of other interesting places to visit in Melbourne. I would take another tour with City Unscripted again!

      The best way to see the city in a short time
      Our guide met us at the port. Guided us into the city.then took us on a 3 hr tour slow and easy as he gave us wonderful insights into Melbourne. We really learned a lot and had plenty of time.

      Great for first visit of Melbourne
      Chris was a great guide - he showed us around the city center for more than 3 hours and was very engaging. Would recommend!

      Terrible
      First there was major confusion about where we were meeting even though we were going to the location of our TripAdvisor confirmation. Next our tour guide was French and had only lived in Melbourne for 2 years. He had a heavy French accent that was very hard to understand at times. He kept asking us questions about Melbourne and wanting us to guess the answer? He was obsessed with getting us our card for the tram even though we told him repeatedly that we would take care of it ourselves. We ended the tour an hour early.

      I do try and find a day one tour, and this worked well
      I find that a day 1 tour of a new city helps you orient yourself and feel more comfortable for the rest of the trip, as well as plan better what things you want to see and when. On this one we made a well planned loop of the central city, helping me understand it better both in terms of layout and culture. BTW, if you are visiting Melbourne, go see the Old Gaol. It's a cooler museum than it sounds like. Also, the town makes surprisingly high quality chocolate.

      A pleasant experience with a professional tour guide
      Had a great time touring the city with Chris. He was friendly and knew all the must-see spots in Melbourne. Chris initially suggested to move the walking tour date as the weather was bad with strong wind and heavy rain, but due to my tight schedule, i requested to go ahead with the tour and he was very understanding. Thanks to him, I managed to see all the great places Melbourne has to offer in such a short period of time.

      Review of our tour with Daniel Matoso
      Daniel (Matoso) did a great job of tailoring the tour to our requirements. He drove us to different parts of the city. We then parked and he led us to various sites while providing information along the way. He spent an hour more with us than what was scheduled.

      Fun and informative
      Chris met us at our hotel and spent 3 hour showing and telling us about Melbourne. He was nice and very knowledgeable. Melbourne has many hidden points of interest you could never find without the help of a local.
