Fabulous tour of Dubrovnik with Ivika. Lots of information about the city from his personal perspective. Lunch was delicious and a great way to learn about life here from a lifelong resident. Highly recommended. Amazing city to visit, hope to return.

Giada did an outstanding job of sharing the history and details of the city of Florence, Medici history and Accademia. She bought tickets for us when we were having technical issues. I would recommend her to anyone. Excellent!

Ivica made us feel so welcome and had clearly tailored the tour based on what we said we liked. He even threw in a few jokes which were definitely Dad jokes but still great!

Your FAQs

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 the personalization process work?

Once you’ve booked, we’ll send you a quick questionnaire to learn more about your tastes, dietary needs, and food preferences. Your local host will then get in touch to shape a food journey that matches your tastes.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

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.

Can my experience accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes! You'll receive a questionnaire right after booking where you can note any dietary requirements, and your host will tailor the experience accordingly.

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.

Can I mix different themes (food, history, neighborhoods, culture, nightlife) in one experience?

While this experience focuses on food and drink, your host can also weave in local culture, neighborhoods, or a bit of history during the experience. Just share what you're curious about in the questionnaire, and your host will tailor the route to suit your taste.

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.

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.

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.

Are there fitness, mobility, or accessibility requirements?

This is a walking experience, but it can be tailored to suit your pace and comfort. If you have mobility concerns or would prefer to minimize walking, let us know in advance—your host can adjust the route, include public transport or rest stops to suit your needs.

Can I adjust the plan during the tour?

Yes! Your host can tweak the route based on what you’re enjoying, what you’re in the mood for, or if something catches your eye along the way.

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 should I bring or wear?

Comfortable shoes are best, as you’ll be walking between food stops. Dress for the weather and bring a bit of cash if you'd like to try anything extra beyond the included tastings.

What if I want to extend or shorten the day on the go?

If you’d like to extend your time with your host, simply ask if they’re available and continue the tour. Hosts can’t accept payment directly, so once you’re done, contact our customer service team at info@cityunscripted.com to arrange payment. And if you need to finish early, that’s no problem at all!
