FAQs
Your questions, answered
Can my host accommodate dietary restrictions or preferences?
Yes! When you book, you’ll fill out a short questionnaire where you can note any dietary needs or preferences. Your host will plan the experience accordingly to make sure everything suits you.
Can I request specific places or types of stops?
Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.
Do you use fixed restaurant stops or is it flexible?
There’s no fixed route—your host will tailor the stops based on your tastes and what’s best on the day. Some places may be planned in advance, but there's room to adapt the experience as you go.
What if a restaurant or food stall is unexpectedly closed?
It’s unlikely, as our hosts usually check opening times in advance. But if a restaurant or food stall is unexpectedly closed, your host will have backup options ready and adjust the plan on the spot. The experience is flexible, so you’ll still enjoy a great selection of local spots.
How do you ensure food safety and hygiene?
All hosts are locals who know where to find safe, high-quality food. They avoid places with poor standards and focus on trusted spots they know well—so you can feel confident about every stop.
Is this a traditional tour or something different?
This isn’t a typical food tour with set stops. Instead, it’s a casual, personalized food experience led by a local who knows where the best bites are—whether it’s tiny noodle joints, late-night izakayas, or tucked-away street snacks. You’ll discover local favorites, try what excites you, and enjoy a flexible route tailored to your tastes, all at your own pace.
How does personalization work?
After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary..
Can I mix different themes in one experience?
Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.
Can I adjust the plan on the day?
Absolutely. Your host can adjust the itinerary on the day based on your pace, energy, or any new ideas you have. It’s a flexible experience from start to finish.
Is this experience suitable for families, solo travelers, seniors, or groups?
Absolutely. Whether you're exploring solo, as a couple, or with family or friends, your host can adjust the experience to suit your group.
What happens in case of bad weather?
Rain won’t stop your experience—your host will adjust the route if needed, choosing cozy indoor spots or covered food areas. City Unscripted experiences are flexible by design, and your host will make sure it’s just as enjoyable, whatever the weather.
What if I want to extend or shorten the day on the go?
If you’d like to extend your time with your host, just ask about their availability and continue your tour. Hosts can’t accept payments directly, so once the experience ends, please contact our customer service team at info@cityunscripted.com
to arrange payment. And if you prefer to finish early, that’s absolutely fine too!
