These intimate connections with people and places around the world are what we want to replicate for you with our diverse network of incredible hosts from all ages and backgrounds. Between them, we'll find your perfect match – consider us your friend in the city.

This tour was amazing and so customizable! Michael was so accommodating to us, taking some breaks when needed and even letting us go in and out of different stores to shop around. We saw amazing shrines/temples and many of the cities hot spots. Michael even gave us great recommendations for the night life and dinner to end our evening.

Mat was amazing. He is a terrific storyteller and so personable. My son was a college history major and said May knew his stuff! (Which is a high compliment). He is very passionate about the city and was able to share so much about the beautiful city of Munich! I would highly recommend that you schedule this tour on your first day and become familiar with the city so that you can hit the ground running! Thank you, Mat, for an amazing tour!

This was an amazing tour that was personalized to my interest. I chose the perfect half day in Dubai tour. City Unscripted held true when they matched me with the perfect tour guide. This was a private tour and Charlie Miiro my guide had great suggestions and took me to places that I hadn’t thought about.

Our Kyoto guide, Ryuki from City Unscripted, was superb! A true 10 out of 10! His knowledge of the city and its historical sites was exactly what we hoped for. His great knowledge included off the beaten path experiences (including a hidden bamboo grove and several dynamite restaurants) that added a real personal feel.
