What travelers think of our Italy experiences

What an absolutely wonderful tour with Marilisa in Florence! She is very welcoming, engaging and informative. From the moment we started our walking tour she pointed out special gems that most people would walk right by. She brought to life the many sculptures, buildings and points of interest with connections to the history of Florence. Thank you Marilisa!

We had an amazing time on this tour! Our guide, Donatella, was fantastic. She showed us all around Naples and shared so many great tips for things to do afterward. We felt like we got the real insider scoop on this chaotic, colorful, and beautiful city.

My daughter and I had an absolutely wonderful 4-hour walking tour of Palermo with our guide, Benedetto through City Unscripted. From the moment we met him, he made us feel completely at ease and instantly brought the city to life with his warmth, and deep local knowledge. He guided us through Palermo’s winding streets, hidden piazzas, and vibrant markets, sharing fascinating stories about the city’s history, culture, and daily life. What made it so special was how personal it felt - he tailored the tour perfectly to our interests, from architecture and history to food and local life. We discovered places we never would have found on our own and gained such a rich appreciation of Palermo’s layers - its beauty, its grit, and its soul. It felt like spending an afternoon with a friend who loves his city and wants you to love it too. I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. If you’re visiting Palermo, ask for Benedetto - he made our time in the city truly unforgettable.

Where do I start with Donatella? Is it her easy going manner? Her wit? Her knowledge of Naples? Her charm? Her love of food? Her incredible empathy towards people she just met? I’ve said enough already. She is a lovely human being and a great tour guide. You won’t regret a nickel you spend with her.

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.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary..

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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.
