Reviews of Our Sydney Experiences

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.

Guide was a perfect match for me. We were both female and had similar travels and interests. She was very caring and took care of an 80 year old solo traveller. Vie
