What others say

Everything was great!
We loved the tour around Kyoto, and we were amazed at how much information Mike had about the area. We not only got to see the surrounding area, but also were introduced to a little bit of its history.

Sydney Private Tours by Locals: 100% Personalized, See the City Unscripted
While visiting my son and his family in Australia (I am a New Yorker) my daughter-in-law surprised me and my son with a full day walking tour of Sydney. She booked the tour through City Unscripted, and we we were fortunate enough to be assigned to Peter Sullivan. As it was a surprise, we were almost completely unprepared, except to be told to wear comfortable shoes. Peter knew we were in the dark, so, communicated exact meeting instructions that morning, while remaining discrete. He found us lost near, but not at, the meeting place, and took us in hand. Finally, we learned what the day would look like, and Peter asked us to confirm the interests he was told we had by my daughter-in-law. Apparently, even though he had prepared the tour in advance according to the information he was given, he was able to tweak the day to make sure we would get the most out of the adventure. He was also completely flexible about when and where we ate and took breaks. I could go through our tour here, but suffice it to say that he was a terrific guide, full of knowledge of the history and architecture of the city, was able to answer most of our questions, and if not, we looked things up while stoping for coffee. The day ended with a ferry ride out to Manly Beach and back. He was a fantastic leader, getting us seats on the most scenic side of the boat, but where we would not get soaked from the spray. It was a delightful ride and full of sites. Unlike a few teachers and tour guides I have experienced, Peter only talked about himself when I asked a direct question. This tour was most certainly not about him, but rather, very much about Sydney, a city that he clearly loves and is proud of. I recommend Peter, as walking tour guide, most emphatically. We had a great and fulsome day. And, because we were staying in Sydney several more days, we actually knew our way around when on our own. We knew the landmarks, how to navigate the light rail system and the ferry system, and even our way through the downtown streets, and the highlights of Sydney Harbor. Thank you Peter for our introduction to your beloved City,

Private Manchester Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems, Personalised
I am new to Manchester and I decided to arrange a 4-hour private tour of the city to understand its layout, main attractions and history. Kevin was my tourguide and he exceeded my expectations. Kevin walked me to all main landmarks, explained the fascination history of Manchester, but also the life in this great city. I was blown away by how many library, museums, history there is in Manchester, but also by the variety of neighbourhoods. Kevin is very engaging, knowledgeable and charming. He gave many tips about places to visit on my own. I very much enjoyed my tour with him. I could have not asked for a better first introduction to Manchester.
Munich Private Custom Walking Tour with a Local
Michelle was fantastic. She is a great communicator and was very accommodating about a slight meeting time change for our family’s walking tour. She has a deep and impressive understanding of Munich, Bavarian and German history. It is obvious she loves leading tours and she is one of the best I’ve had—she is engaging and sincere and not corny or artificial in trying to make connections with the group members which I really appreciated. Would absolutely book her again.
Private Fukuoka Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems 100% Personalised
This was an excellent experience. I had the great honor of being guided by Bruce who has been living in Fukuoka for more than 20 years and has made a significant impact on the modern Yatai food scene. He was very professional and fun. He explained and showed me the true essence of Fukuoka which helped me further understand its local culture. I am a big history and culture person, so I had an absolutely stellar time. Highly recommend this tour and please ask for Bruce if you are interested in the Yatai!
Singapore Street Food Tour with a Local: A Feast for Foodies 100% Personalized
We did the food tour with Stefan and had a great time. The tour was personalised, following a pre-tour survey, which meant he took us to a variety of places, and we discovered food we\'d never have found ourselves. He was incredibly knowledgeable, but also relaxed and friendly. We enjoyed SO much food, including a tea tasting, time at the China Town Hawker, and incredible cocktails at the Witches Brew bar.
Adam was so fun to spend time with!
We loved getting to know him and Singapore!
Memorable walk though Istanbul with IPek
We had an amazing tour of Istanbul today with our guide, Ipek. She was incredibly knowledgeable and made the city’s rich history and culture come alive with her storytelling. We visited iconic spots like Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazaar, and even enjoyed breathtaking views from the Bosphorus. Ipek’s passion for Istanbul is contagious, and she tailored the experience perfectly to our interests. Her warm and professional approach made the day so special, and she gave us great local tips for the rest of our trip. If you want to truly experience Istanbul, Ipek is the guide you need!
Toga helped us fall in love with Kyoto.
Toga was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable about the sites, very thoughtful in his planning and very kind in manner.

Private Hong Kong Tour with a Local, Highlights & Hidden Gems 100% Personalised
100% recommend. I was paired with Daniel, and he was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and paced the trip well. I never felt rushed, and despite walking everywhere, was not exhausted at the end. It was a great way to get to see all the main sights of Central.
New York Private Full Day Tour with a Local Guide: 100% Personalized
Olga was a dream of a tour guide. From the second we got linked with her via email she started emailing with ideas and itinerary items. We travelled with 2 small kids (8/10 yo) and she was patient with them needing breaks from walking. She easily accommodated their food requests. When crossing the street she always made sure they were safe. My kids instantly felt comfortable with her. She not only educated my husband and I on the city but even tailored what she said for the kids to understand. She was patient and kind. We would’ve never have done everything we did/saw in 1 day had we done it alone. She took us to great places that locals use. She was amazing and highly recommend her! If you’re on the fence about it- just do it!
