    Absolutely loved our private tour with Pipster! It was the first thing we did after arriving to Sydney. We loved being able to customize our tour to exactly what we wanted to see and do. She loves her city and it shows! She offered great suggestions and after the tour, we felt confident about how to navigate the city using public transportation. (That was most important to me!) Thank you Pipster for such a fun 3 hours!

    Host Micheal was prompt, friendly, engaging and knew Sydney well. City Unscripted reservation process seemed cumbersome, and there were several individuals on their side I had to deal with during the planning process. Perhaps a one-off situation I suppose as their original selection of a guide for our experience canceled her involvement forcing CU to locate another person (Michael.) We very much appreciated the full attention Michael gave us as his only clients that evening. Highlights of the evening were the use of downtown street rail and a thoroughly amazing stroll through the Queen Victoria Building (QVB.) Please be sure to communicate our thanks again to Michael for his kindness and we wish him only the best in the future. As far as CU is concerned we believe they are on track, will continue to streamline and strengthen their mission and processes as a comprehensive provider of small/private guided experiences for tourists worldwide.
