Inbound operators know the juggle: flight times change, group numbers shift, and itineraries rarely run to the minute. You need activities that are flexible, engaging, and easy to slot in. That’s where Stories Unseen comes in.

We create self-guided walking tours that feel personal, but still have the polish of a professional guide. Travellers use their own phone and headphones, following maps and listening to our charismatic companions bring Perth’s history and culture to life. The result? Independent travellers who don’t feel herded, and tour operators who can relax knowing there’s structure behind the freedom.

Travellers explore at their own pace using their own device

Built for group travel

Any size, no stress – from small FITs to large student groups, our platform can handle it. We recommend staggered starts (5-minute intervals) for larger groups so the streets never feel crowded.
Support when you need it – operators can run tours themselves, or one of our team can meet the group at the start. We provide help with downloads, headphones, and even power banks for flat phones.
Memorable experiences – we’ve hosted schools, birthdays, and networking groups. Each time, the feedback is the same: flexible, fun, and surprisingly easy.

Flexible for itineraries

No fixed start time – tours can begin at any time of day, perfect for filling awkward gaps.
Half-day format – gives structure without taking over a whole day.
Easy add-on – our Perth tours link neatly with attractions like Elizabeth Quay, the Perth Mint, WA Museum Boola Bardip, Art Gallery WA, and PICA.

Our hardworking virtual tour guides are available 24/7

Trade-friendly pricing

Pay per use – only pay for what your travellers download.
Simple billing – invoice at the end of the month or pre-purchase single-use codes.
Optional extras – tour greeters are available if you’d like extra support on the ground.

Ready for international markets

Our platform already supports a number of different languages, with translation available for partners who need it. That makes Stories Unseen a strong fit for inbound groups who want flexibility and cultural depth, delivered in their own language.

Why Stories Unseen?

We’re not another “tick-the-box” tour. We’re about helping travellers slow down, tune in, and connect with the stories behind Perth’s streets. For inbound operators, that means a product that’s:
