Kenneth 9 February 2025

I used City Unscripted to take a tour of Hamburg, Germany. My guide was Ralf and he was great! He has a wealth of knowledge about Hamburg, and a great sense of humor so the 4 hour tour flew by. It is well worth doing and gave me a completely new view of Hamburg!

Our guide showed us the city’s highlights and shared his knowledge of its history making our visit far more interesting than guiding ourselves.

He engaged us in steady conversation and welcomed all our questions. A true highlight of our 4-City trip to N. Germany with this exceptional guide!!! Thank you again Deniz!!

My wife and I had a fantastic private tour of Hamburg with Dave, who whisked us through the city’s highlights at an energetic pace. He introduced us to fascinating architectural gems we would never have found on our own. Thoughtfully, Dave met us directly at the cruise terminal, which made everything so much easier, especially as it was our first visit to Hamburg. To maximize our time, the tour even included a few short metro rides, allowing us to see more of the city within the schedule.

The perfect mix of everything I was looking for in a tour! Details about architecture, city history, how the city evolved through the years and seeing the major landmarks. It was wonderful and our guide Deniz was phenomenally engaging.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Are experiences the same as tours?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I be able to speak to my host beforehand?

Yes. After we match you with your host, we’ll introduce you so you can chat about the plan and make any tweaks before the day.

How do you match me with a host?

We ask a few questions. After you book, you’ll fill out a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll then match you with the best local host to design your experience.

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.

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 mix different themes in one experience?

Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.

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.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Yes. You can cancel for free up to 24 hours before your experience date—no questions asked.
