I did a two hour Berlin tour with Nick. Nick was very thorough with background and history, as well lesser known facts about the city. It was very enjoyable and I wish I had time for a longer tour.
I used City Unscripted for a tour in Bordeaux in June '26. I did the 4 hour private tour on my first full day in Bordeaux with Fafa. I had never been to Bordeaux or to France. This was a solo trip and my first overseas trip. I booked the trip through my bank and because of that she was not able to contact me prior to know what I was interested in doing for the tour. Despite that, Fafa was amazing, she took me everywhere and I mean everywhere. The knowledge she had of Bordeaux was immense. She made me feel comfortable, it was like walking around with a friend. Having gone solo to France I'm glad I did a private tour because my French is not very good and she did the tour in English. Since I was solo, she helped me get photos of myself in front of a lot of different places. I feel like I wouldn't have gotten much out of a group tour because of the language barrier. I also wouldn't have gotten all the photos I did get. Because of her tour and the information she gave me I felt very comfortable navigating Bordeaux on my own the rest of the time I was there. I will definitely being using City Unscripted for any other places that I go. If you are traveling I would highly suggest using City Unscripted to learn about the city you are visiting. I would also suggest doing it on your first full day because it will help you get an understanding of the place you are visiting.
We had the pleasure of Jacqueline guiding us around Toronto and showing us not only the historic and contemporary highlights, but the little known gems as well. As a native with enormous Canadian pride, she has in-depth knowledge of both history and lore which made our day thoroughly fascinating and enjoyable!
Ondrej was an amazing guide and storyteller. His humor matched up well with ours and made our tour seem more like catching up with an old friend. Cheers Ondrej!
We had an amazing experience with Claudio. Claudio was an outstanding guide—friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Bologna. He shared fascinating stories that brought the city to life and gave us fantastic recommendations for local restaurants and hidden gems that we never would have found on our own. City Unscripted did a wonderful job matching us with someone who truly loves what he does. Claudio made us feel like we were exploring the city with a knowledgeable local friend rather than just taking a tour. We highly recommend both City Unscripted and Claudio to anyone visiting Bologna. Thank you for making our day so memorable!
We had a wonderful experience in Paris with Stephan Patrick as our guide. I highly recommend him, as he is extremely knowledgeable. We explored medieval Paris, exactly as we had requested.
We had a great experience with Taku showing us some of Osaka highlights. We especially enjoyed lunch in the fish market!
Can't say enough about how great our experience with City Unscripted was in Kanazawa. Our tour guide Sho reached out ahead of time via e-mail and we connected via WhatsApp as well. We were able to customize our experience around the sites we were most interested in. We were also able to communicate easily on meeting location and arrival.

Marianne was great, she reached out weeks beforehand to see what our interests were. Then gave us an extremely informed and interesting tour of the main city highlights. If you want a good two hours in Oslo, this is for you.
Karim was a good tour guide. He had knowledgeable insights as to the Osaka Castle.
Marianne was our guide in Oslo. She was very knowledgeable in Norwegian and Oslo history. We felt at home during our visit with her in Oslo. We loved the city train ride, walk through the city and the Royal Garden.
Our host, Raphael, was engaging, friendly, and ensured that the tour reflected our interests. Not knowing what to expect, we were extremely pleased with our guide, who we enjoyed tremendously. His love for and knowledge of the city were clearly evident throughout the tour.
Sebastian was wonderful! I was running late and he was gracious and kind, being specific on how too find him. He made the tour fun and very informative, while sharing so many fun hidden facts about various areas and aspects of Brussels. Thanks so very much Sebastian!! Best wishes to you and your family!
Great day out exploring Kyoto. Nisa was awesome, effortlessly chatted with each of us about Kyoto - we were a group of 8, 4 young adults and their parents. A perfect day seeing Kyoto.
Walking tour that was interesting & covered a lot of ground.
The survey to tailor make your tour was awesome! And our guide, Naveen was super helpful with things before we even got there, like getting the correct train from the airport to the city center, stowing our luggage for the tour, etc. He was awesome!
