Experience Paris
Beyond the Guidebooks

Hristo was great as a tour guide. Love the historic approach, his knowledge and the quality of the tour . Thanks

Hristo’s knowledge of Paris history & culture is extraordinary!

Hristo was a wonderful guide!

Our tour with Hristo was wonderful. He kept everyone engaged the entire time. We saw what we were planning to and overall it was a great experience.

Anyone would be lucky to have Jill as their tour guide! She was the most personable tour guide i had over my 3 week trip across Europe and also shared a wealth of knowledge when showing me around the sites. She helped me figure out the rest of my day in Paris and even mentioned that i could call or text her if i needed anything. As a solo traveler, i greatly appreciated that.

Jill was a phenomenal guide, with lots of knowledge and a great personality. She communicated with me a lot before our trip and I gave her a list of places we wanted to see in Paris. She had a plan when we arrived and we packed as much as we could into 8 hours. She's a pro with public transportation. Jill was incredibly sweet and patient with our 10 yo daughter as well. We highly recommend Jill for anyone visiting Paris!

It was absolutely lovely. My guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. It was a pleasure seeing Paris with her and learning about the place more.

My guide Jill was wonderful. She set the pace and route of our tour exactly as I had hoped. Having a private tour allowed me to engage more and ask lots of questions. Jill answered them all with knowledge and generosity.

Viator is hit or miss and not always reliable, but their subcontract to City Unscripted worked out well this time. Roffy from "City Unscripted" was an excellent guide and spent six hours with my nephew and I showing us around Paris including some of the more well known land marks along with some hidden "surprises". There were several places we went to that would never have been on our list given this was our first time in Paris so in my opinion, this tour was worth every cent to get a local perspective and see some lesser known things. Having a guide with a set route and plan also made the day much more efficient and we were able to pack in a lot. Roffy was an excellent guide. She is very knowledgeable and was fun to hang out with and the time flew by! I would highly recommend this tour (especially for a first trip to Paris)!

We enjoyed our time with Roffy! She was amazing with kids and showed us side of Paris that we would have missed, thank you Roffy

My husband and I tour three countries. Paris was the only one that we got a private guide. It was a local. I wish we had done it on day one in the other countries. It was the best day we had overall by far! Roffy was amazing.

The experience with Pascal was wonderful on our 6 hour walking tour. He is geographically, historically, and culturally astute regarding Paris. He is a fine gentleman and a great tour guide. We walked through many districts with Pascal providing insight every step of the way. I would have to say we parted as friends. I highly recommend Pascal to anybody that wants to experience Paris with an expert.

Pascal gave us an amazing tour. He customized the tour to exactly what we asked for and what we wanted to see. He made sure we saw all the significant places along our route. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

‘Let’s see where this doorway goes.’ Pascal led us through to find a hidden courtyard. One you couldn’t see from the street. It was filled with flowers and vibrant colors. ‘This is what is so fantastic about Paris,’ he said. Adding, ‘there are so many places to explore.’ And he’s lived here since the 80’s. We tasked him with showing us the 9th & 18th Arrondissements. He showed us the main attractions but also where only Parisians go. We saw where some of the great artists like Picasso and Van Gogh lived. He helped us plan our vacation with cafes and restaurants to visit. Pascal is forever curious about Paris and will curate an experience you will remember forever. He is filled with knowledge and stories and is fantastic to be around. Let Pascal show you the doorways to Paris!

I had an absolutely fantastic time exploring Montmartre with Del. She was super friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Montmartre. As well as rising the beautiful Sacre Coeur, Del took me on a relaxed stroll through the quieter, more authentic parts of the neighborhood—charming alleyways, local artists hangouts, hidden gardens, and even a vineyard I had no idea existed in Paris! The guide shared so many fascinating stories and little-known facts about the artists, history, and culture that shaped this area. It felt like discovering a whole new side of Paris. If you're looking for a more personal, off-the-beaten-path experience in Montmartre, do not miss this tour. It made me fall in love with the neighborhood in a whole new way!

Lovely hostess. Knowledgable, friendly, warm and took me to see hidden gems of Montmartre. Would highly recommend

The guide was very friendly and informed. She personalized the tour regarding our needs. We also appreciated the pace, which combined both - insights and interesting information about every monument but also quick tempo thanks to which we had gotten to see a huge part of Paris in just 6 hours (which is exactly what we wanted). She also provided more useful tips for places to visit after the tour, which was very appreciated. Definitely recommend!

My guide was amazing and VERY accommodating. She was knowledgeable, patient and kind ….. she went above and beyond to make the evening special. I hope you appreciate was an amazing g employee you have! I appreciated the hidden gems I was shown and that I got help with some shopping I wanted to do. I would highly recommend her (wish I could spell her name) to anyone interested in discovering a little more about Paris!

We thoroughly enjoyed our walk through Montmartre with Clovis! He made it fun and interesting, with little tidbits about the artists who had lived there in the past. He also gave an excellent restaurant recommendation, where we had our dinner later.

Highly recommend City Unscripted for the ease of setting up this private tour of Montmartre. But more impressed with our guide, Clovis. He grew up in the area, very clear speaking English, and picked a fantastic route for us. It was almost as if he already knew that we didn't like crowds and really just wanted a slow paced journey through the area. My family (spouse, 14YO, & 11YO) eventually ran out of steam (aka kid's attention span :-) so Clovis showed us to a restaurant and reminded us to grab an eclair from the childhood bakery (unanimous, BEST EVER!). Fantastic family memory. Thank you Clovis!

This was a very helpful and valuable tour as this was our first trip to Paris and we only had 4 days in the city. We arrived in Paris at 9am from USA and had the tour booked at 2pm to kick off our visit. We booked a 3hour walking tour to give us an overview & layout of the city and get a better understanding of "getting around". Our guide was Clovis. Clovis was great. Clovis is a Parisian and definitely knows the city, a lot of history, cultural info, and was fun to be with. He also speaks great English and was very accommodating to what we wanted to see and do. Clovis met us at our Hotel (7 arrondissement) and we developed a 3 hour tour on the spot. Clovis also have a tutorial on the Metro so we were able to utilize the Metro for the rest of our trip. Overall, this was a great tour, a great value and a great start our trip to Paris. Thank you Clovis.

Anukool was very knowledgeable, professional, & friendly. He seemed to really enjoy what he does & loves history, which is what we needed.

Anukool was outstanding. His depth of Paris history is extraordinary and he’s just a fun guy to walk around the city with! He was a wonderful first day in Paris experience. Thanks so much.

Anukool did an amazing job showing us the areas of Paris one would miss if only doing a self guided tour. The passages, mosaic tiles, and the stories behind them were a favorite

Anukool made our day perfect. He took the time to get yo know us and what we were looking for with our tour. He is well versed in art, history, food, literature, music and of course, Paris. He made our day very special and I look forward to touring with him on our next visit to Paris. I highly recommend him.

Our tour with Elli was fantastic!! She has such a wonderful personality - so knowledgeable and outgoing with lots of humor mixed in!! We thoroughly enjoyed every minute, and we will leave Paris with the unforgettable memories made with Elli!

Thank You so much Elli! You were personable, relaxed, knowledgeable and took us to places we would not have thought to visit but made our trip to Paris so much more.

My wife and I had Elli Doukaridou as our guide for the "kick start" tour in Paris. Elli was punctual, professional and extremely knowledgeable of the history, architecture and many other aspects of Paris, which enriched our experience in ways that we wouldn't expect from a typical city guide. In addition, Elli was kind to accommodate our more basic needs to "function" in a city of the complexity of Paris. Also, we appreciated Elli's kindness, sensitivity and understanding of our physical needs, especially in accommodating my wife's limitations due to chronic disability. We feel lucky to have had Ellis as our guide and we would highly recommend her, especially for individuals who have a greater curiosity and may want to tap into Elli's knowledge of history, art and culture.

Elli was very helpful and also helped customise the tour based on what we were looking for! Highly recommended.

Come was knowledgable and willing to walk and introduce us to Paris. Walked along the Seine which is what we recommend to best learn and see this wonderful city.

The guide was very knowledgeable and well-versed in the history of Paris and France. The tour was quite comprehensive and detailed. So glad we did this tour at the start of our stay in Paris. It laid the ground work for the rest of our tour.

Very comprehensive.

We highly recommend him.

We really enjoyed the tour which Marie tailored to our requests. Using her knowledge of the area she gave us some great food options and also took the opportunity on our tour to show us various historical landmarks and explain their significance.

I never thought we could visit all the spots we visited in a 6 hour timeframe. Marie helped us use the metro for the first time, pressed on through rainy weather and had a smoke the entire time. Such a sweet personality and valuable asset to your tour team!

She energetically presented more than expected

Two weeks and two great experiences with City Unscripted! The second was with Marie as we explored the Montmartre neighborhood in Paris. Marie also had a great personality and was knowledgeable on the area.

Our tour guide Monty was excellent. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and made sure we hit all the highlights. We ended the day with an array of memorable photos.

Monty was very knowledgeable about all of Paris, and I was able to see all the major sights in one afternoon. He answered all of my silly questions, and he was very passionate about all the art and history of the city (also accommodated my sudden change in schedule).

Monty was very eager to teach us and show us around Paris. He was super knowledgeable and seemed to really like giving tours

We enjoyed our private tour of the Montmartre area with Monty. In my mind so often the guide makes the tour and this review is because of him. While we had other experiences we enjoyed as much or more in Paris, Monty’s patience, kindness, and knowledge were wonderful. He picked us up at our hotel and showed us how to navigate the Underground. We also made a stop by the Louvre to see the area (another tour booked the next day with a different guide) and then we headed to Montmartre. My wife loved the small shops and restaurants we checked out along the journey and we talked about culture, art and history throughout the walk. Monty was patient as my wife stopped to look and he took some really nice pictures of us along the way, as well as making a list of must-see things for our visit to the Louvre. I believe he would have excelled even more once in the museum because of his love for art history on a different tour of that type. He reminded us lovingly of the humble, but brilliant Nate from Ted Lasso. The walk up from Moulin Rouge to the Sacre-Coeur Basilica was steep and on stone and we loved it, but I could see where those with very young children or elderly adults might find that more difficult. For my wife, the shops and restaurants along the way, as well as the plaza were all fantastic. Our journey was in the late afternoon so we loved seeing the city lights once the sun went down with the view from the Basilica - which was amazing and a must-see as well modern beauty of a church. Well done Monty.

Gregory was wonderful, informative and a delight! We very much appreciated his tour and his company!!! Should have remembered as we had a good humoured chuckle about his name! We certainly enjoyed him!!! Highly recommend time spent with him.

He has a great personality and knows the city wells!

Ewan was very easy going. With so much to see in only four hours he never felt like he was rushing us. He was obviously very knowledgeable about the city and imparted that knowledge in a relaxing, non-intimidating manner. It felt like you were strolling with a friend through their neighborhood.

Ewan was a great guide, we clicked pretty well. our itinerary was open and wanted to see the main sites however my father is elderly and my sister is disable so we moved relatively slow until they had had enough. He's an interesting and personable guy and I'd highly recommend.

Paul was amazing, he made our experience magical. Covered more than we expected with all that we wanted to see in the short about of time. Made it even better with being able to communicate with him. He spoke very good English. Looking forward to our next visit.

Paul était un jeune homme très sympa. Il nous a donné beaucoup des renseignements sur l’histoire de Paris. Génial

Paul è stato una guida disponibile, attenta e preparata. Ha rispettato le nostre richieste e le nostre difficoltà con la lingua e con la mobilità. Consigliatissimo Paul was a helpful, attentive and prepared guide. He respected our requests and our difficulties with language and mobility. Highly recommended

Paul ci ha raggiunti in una posizione diversa dal convenuto senza problemi. Ci ha proposto un tour molto interessante e ha avuto particolare riguardo delle nostre difficoltà sia con la lingua che motorie, venendoci incontro nel modificare il programma in base alle nostre esigenze.

The walking tour was the perfect first thing to do in Paris and Beatriz was an excellent guide! She gave her knowledge freely and was very in tune with what we needed. She went above and beyond and even guided us to a great spot for drinks after our tour had ended

This tour was fantastic, Beatriz was engaging, knowledgeable, and fun. We learned about the history of Montmartre and made a fantastic day in Paris.

The neighbourhood of La Marais is absolutely charming and Beatriz has been an awesome tour guide. You get to talk to the company and tell them your interests so they pair you up with the most suitable guide. And Beatriz was the best! Amazing food, interesting conversations and a lovely afternoon spent in Paris.

A guia que nos acompanhou chama-se Beatriz e é excelente. Nos apresentou Montmartre magnificamente, com sua histórias, arte, arquitetura e lendas, e no final nos indicou um bistrô ótimo onde comemos um autêntico fondue frances. Recomendo o passeio e a guia. We enjoyed the most: O bairro é encantador e a guia também o foi

Had a wonderful afternoon with Igor. We saw so much learnt so much and it was completely tailored to our interests. Obviously a lot of thought had gone into the planning of the afternoon and Igor was generous with his time, knowledge and expertise. Thoroughly recommend both Igor and Unscripted. Many thanks.

If we could holive Igor a score of 10 out of 5 we would. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable, took our interests into account when planning and fitted sooo much into our time it was wonderful. Can not recommend this experience enough. So it you will be glad you did. Unscripted were also very easy and accommodating to work with. Thank you

Igor gave us a fabulous tour of Paris. He included major sights as well as lesser known fun facts about the city. He is a master of Paris History and a delight to spend time with. I highly recommend him!

Our tour with Igor was amazing!!! He had so many memorable and Interesting things to show us. He had worked diligently to give us a tour tailored specifically to us. His love for the beautiful city of Paris was evident by his knowledge of the city and its history! WE could have toured with him for many hours more! His enthusiasm was contagious!
