Kanazawa: City Highlights & Hidden Gems Private Walking Tour

Great!!

Kyoto, Your Story: A Full-Day of Icons, Culture & Hidden Gems

Excellent tour with Jose David, 100% would recommend booking.

Madrid Highlights & Hidden Gems Private Tour with a Local

Patricia was so great at orienting us to the city! Every food recommendation she made was incredible, and it was the best food we had across 5 cities. So informative, saw so many cool places, and felt secure navigating Madrid after that first day!

Milan Private Tour: Highlights & Hidden Gems with a Local

This was a great tour and I have been on a bunch. Bibi was very knowledgeable. I had booked 2 walking tours in Milan and was concerned we would see the same things. Bibi took us to places you would never expect on a walking tour and told us about things that we walked past that we would have never known. On the other tour we walked past some of the same places and our guide said nothing which I found interesting. I would highly recommend this tour and Bibi specifically.

Review from James

Kay was a wonderful guide and host!

Review from Julie

Malik is very personable. She was right on time. She had planned the day based on my input but she was also willing to adjust the plan e.g. taking a water taxi instead of bus back to the train station. She also made great suggestions for where to eat dinner and how to spend my next day in Hong Kong. She offered to answer any questions I had even after our tour was over.

Review from Lisa

Alex was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and allot of fun. Alex was always game for a quick stop if we saw something that we wanted to see or check out. I would highly recommend this tour especially if you get Alex!

Review from Abdul

John was both knowledgeable and flexible. I put off our tour by an hour and he was just fine with it. Showed me the city by train, bus and ferry. Would recommend him highly!

Review from Faisal

It was personalized to my liking in terms of locations as well as speed.

Review from Joseph

Megumi is a friendly, organized and knowleageable guide who is very responsive to her guest’s interests and preferences. She also provided great local insights and tips. Highly recommended.

Review from Tyler

Lisa was so friendly and accommodating to our family, including a toddler and elderly father. She took time to offer alternatives or recommendations if she noticed there was a need. Her expansive knowledge of every aspect of the city from the historic sites, to the food, to the stores was unparalleled. Would definitely recommend!

Review from Justine

Ed has excellent knowledge of New York and took the time to understand our interests. He knew where to go to show us how locals live which included an amazing cookie followed by the best pizza and then we finished off in a cool bar near Wall St. So nice to have someone take the lead so we could concentrate on the surroundings. Ed is attentive and personable and we very much enjoyed our day with him.

Review from Gregg

Great experience although we had a hard time meeting each other in the beginning although we were both in the right place

Review from Michael

Criselda was very knowledgeable about the areas we visited and was flexible in modifying the plans as the day went on. She is very personable and made our day special.

Hong Kong: Private Walking City Tour with a Local Guide

Excellent experience. Would recommend to do it with Dennis who is very well prepared.

Customized Private Tour

Saki was brilliant, she was engaging, extremely personable, she took us to a small free museum off the beaten track. When we went to Nagoya Castle she explained the history of the Castle & significance of each room. When we also said we wanted to experience a local lunch she was able to locate a small restaurant that was simply perfect. A beautiful young lady, we would definitely book her again if we were in Nagoya or Kyoto.

Brussels Bites: Street Snacks, Café Culture & Hidden Treats

Sebas is very knowledgeable, entertaining and personable. He knows the city and its history and shared it with passion. The food was great as well. Couldn’t have been a better tour.

The tour was great - we got to see areas of Hong Kong that we would have never gotten to experience if it wasn’t for the tour. Regene was so nice and had so much knowledge and information.

Kickstart your trip to Rome

Had the most exceptional tour with Nadia, of City Unscripted. I\'ve grown to love this tour company. It\'s like hiring \'a-professional-best-friend\' for a day. And oh man, I got so lucky! My guide Nadia was so kind and friendly. Our time was short and she asked me: \"How much do you want to see?\" and \"How fast do you want to walk?\" I said: \"Everything and fast!\" She literally grabbed me by the wrist and marched me around Rome, for eight hours! -- Two things come to mind, about why I love City Unscripted so much: 1) They facilitate a PERSONAL HUMAN CONNECTION, days before your tour; beginning with a detailed questionnaire about your wishes and interests. City Unscripted\'s vetting of the guides is outstanding! Only the best of the best. (I have used City Unscripted in five cities over seven years.) 2) THE CONFIDENCE the guides instill in you, so you feel certain of your bearings and to continue exploring, as they leave you alone. I struggle with anxiety, so having a kind person give you the personal certainty that you can \'get lost in the city\' and find your way back - is literally one of the greatest gifts we can receive in this lifetime... Through traveling the world and meeting new friends! Thank you NADIA and City Unscripted.
