How it works

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

Can I request a specific host?

You can request a host, but since most hosts have other commitments, we can't guarantee they'll be available. However, we carefully match you with a host based on your interests and preferences, making it feel like exploring with a friend rather than a stranger.

What makes City Unscripted different?

We don’t do generic tours. Every experience is crafted around you, ensuring a unique, personal, and authentic way to explore the city. You won’t just see the sights—you’ll connect with the people and stories that bring the city to life.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Your experience will still go ahead, and your host will adapt the day to suit the conditions. One of the great things about City Unscripted is that no two experiences are the same, and your host knows the city well enough to find great “rainy day” alternatives.

Wonderful tour with Maria. We saw not only some of the most popular sites in Osaka but also areas more frequented by locals. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Osaka - especially for the first time. And if you want an exceptional and fun guide who speaks excellent English, request Maria. She was terrific.

Roy was our tour guide, and he did a great job. We visited many historical sites as well as Chinatown. He showed us photos from over 60 years ago so we could compare Singapore then and now. I would highly recommend Roy and this tour.
