What travelers think of our experiences in Europe

We had a wonderful experience in Paris with Stephan Patrick as our guide. I highly recommend him, as he is extremely knowledgeable. We explored medieval Paris, exactly as we had requested.

Our family had a spectacular time being guided by Ulana! Ulana's walking tour of Old Nice was fabulous. Ulana knows the city very well, easily manuevering through the streets of Old Nice pointing out points of interest such as churches, cafes and restaurants. Ulana led us up to the top of the castle in Old Nice, that included visiting a cool, refreshing waterfall several stories high. You can stand in front of it and the breeze would blow cool water onto you - unbelievably refreshing after being in the heat! We would not have known about the waterfall (I didn't see any signage) if not for Ulana. Ulana chatted as we along about the history of Nice influenced by Greece, Rome, Italy and France. I'm a history buff and learned several things. Ulana was happy to take photos of my family - she was just so accommodating, informative and kind throughout the tour. She knew when to take breaks for water and where to refill water bottles. Ulana provided several cafe/restaurant recommendations, two of which we've already tried and they were both fantastic (and reasonably priced, not crazy high tourist prices). Ulana's tour was just wonderful and wholeheartedly recoomend her!

Virginie put a lot of thought into the things I wished to see and do. She is an excellent guide and I was very grateful for her thoughtfulness and ease of manner and her way that nothing was never too much trouble. Her inside knowledge that she shared gave me the boost I needed to get around Marseille. Thank you

From beginning to end, the best experience one could ask for. We tried three other guide services in Paris, but this was by far the best. From the communication prior to the tour you knew City Unscripted was going to be special. We would not hesitate to use them in other countries.
