Mayinka was an absolute delight! Her love for Porto and knowledge of all the hidden gems made this experience one that would make anyone fall in love with Porto just as she did long ago. It’s wonderful to see Porto thru her eyes and go to places that support locals as well as artists too!

I visited the Marais district with a friend on November 21, 2025. We took a 2-hour walking tour with our guide, Flora. A big thank you to Flora, who is a very friendly, professional, and helpful guide. Flora showed us hidden gems in this unique neighborhood with very interesting explanations. I highly recommend Flora to visitors looking to explore Paris. Christiane

We only had one night in Oslo and booked this experience to get a taste of the city. Mary was fantastic, warm, welcoming, and shared so much about the city. It definitely left us wanting to come back in the future! Would recommend to anyone.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

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.

What is included and what is not included?

This experience includes 3 hours with a knowledgeable local host, a tailored itinerary based on your food preferences, and 8–10 tastings chosen to match your dietary needs. It’s a walking experience, though your host may suggest using public transport for longer distances.

What’s not included: any additional food or drinks you decide to try, shopping, transport fares, or any entry fees

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!

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 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 have deals with restaurants or set food stops?

No, unlike traditional food tours, our hosts are free to take you to their personal favorite spots rather than fixed locations. This means your food experience will always be unique, with authentic and unbiased recommendations from someone who knows the local food scene best.

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.

Are there fitness, mobility, or accessibility requirements?

The tour involves walking between food stops, but it’s flexible. If you have mobility needs or would prefer a slower pace, your host can adjust the route accordingly. Just let us know when booking so we can plan the best experience for you.

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.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
