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!

Perfect Walking Tour - Michael made this experience. The history and architecture as well as some shopping guide. Terrific!! A+ and we have done a guided walking tour many places around the world.

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.

Gaurav was great -... - Gaurav was great - knowledgeable, friendly and on time. We learned a great deal about the city as well as the life of the people there.

Main attractions and more - A really great walking tour. Donna was fantastic. She knew a lot about Melbourne and took us to all the places we wanted to see and some extra places. It was very interesting and we learnt a lot. Thank you Donna for a lovely experience.

This absolutely made my trip... - <p>This absolutely made my trip. </p> <p>I am travelling around Australia and New Zealand for 2 months and Melbourne was my first stop. I booked a private bespoke tour with Cityunscripted and it was awesome. </p> <p>I spoke with the cityunscripted team and they told me that this experience would help we get my bearings in the city and help me prepare for the rest of my time in the city. This was exactly what I wanted. I booked quite last minute, yet they still managed to booked me in with Olivia, an amazing Aussie girl who was wonderful. From the moment we met in the hotel, we clicked and made me feel like I was wondering around with a friend.</p> <p>It was my first day in the city so Liv set me up with a Myki card. She also let me know that travelling by tram within the CBD was free, something I would not have know had I not met her. We started our day with breakfast at the Lune Croissanterie, an amazing bakery which I couldn't help but return to the next day so good!. After this we wandered through the area surrounding my hotel and she recommended me some of her favourite independent galleries, shops and restaurants for me to visit during my stay. She also sent these to me after our tour so that I would not forget them! I cannot express how helpful and lovely she was. My only regret was not booking Liv for longer, but I had already booked another tour for the afternoon. At the end of our time, I told Liv to join me for lunch if she was free and we went to one of her favourite food markets in the city, Queen Victoria market also highly recommended!</p> <p>Thanks to Cityunscripted and Liv for making my time in Melbourne so great. This is my first solo trip and I was a quite nervous, but this first day in Aus put me at ease. I have taken many tours in my time, but this was the best by far.</p>

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.

BUYER BEWARE! NO SHOW! DO NOT BUY THIS - So much for having a private tour guide. This company is based in the UK!!! I thought VIATOR deals with the LOCAL companies of the city not yet another broker or third party which this one sounds like. So we were left high and dry in melbourne, trying to call company but of course, they are closed due to TIME DIFFERENCE. Not totally the tour guide's fault. She texted and apologized and t told us that she can't make the tour due to other commitments and has informed the company days before our tour date. WE COULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED SOONER. yes money refunded, but there is no price in WASTING A VACATION DAY not mentioning the stress and anxiety this experienced brought. ATTENTION VIATOR : I have used your company for many years and MANY COUNTRIES - it is wrong to give customers a company that is not local - so when we needed help - there was no one to call!!!!!!
