We only had a couple of days in Tokyo, so we wanted to make our time count. This is where our guide Kay came in. We took a one day tour. Kay helped us have an unforgettable experience. He knew about the history of Japan, the temples and shrines, and helped us navigate around the Asakusa area. We would definitely recommend Kay.

Taku was an exceptional guide. He spoke very good English and went over and above to accommodate my family of five adults. He showed us his favorite secret spots as well as including the itinerary items that we had picked out. Highly recommend Taku as a tour guide in Kyoto/Osaka

Myself and my wife had a half-day private walking tour with City Unscripted, hosted by the excellent Mr. Scott North. I would not normally leave a review, either good or bad, but I felt Scott’s knowledge, enthusiasm and friendly manner really deserved a mention. Scott was very informative without overwhelming us with information, and his knowledge of the city and its history was clear throughout the tour. He was also very approachable and happy to answer our questions, which made the experience feel relaxed and personal rather than like a standard guide or someone just doing their job. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Scott and came away having learned a great deal while also seeing the city from a more local perspective. He was a pleasure to spend the morning with and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to others. If you are going to book a walking tour in Kyoto you wouldn't go wrong asking for Scott. Thank you Scott, for making our visit such an enjoyable one.

Kay Arakawa was our tour guide to take us from Tokyo to Kamakura. It was a 9-5 pm tour. We had so much fun visiting all the main areas and learning about them. He pointed out important information, that otherwise we would missed. Kay is fun, knowledgeable all thing Kamakura, relaxed and a great tour guide. If you want to focus on enjoying the scenery, Kay will take you to all the places you don’t want to miss in Kamakura.

We had an absolutely wonderful tour in Japan with Kay. It was the perfect mix of everything we had hoped for. Step by step, we learned about Japan’s history while visiting different places around the city. We wandered through local markets and tried all kinds of little local specialties. We definitely wouldn’t have noticed or tried many of them on our own, so it was great that Kay introduced us to them. It gave us a much deeper insight into the local culture and everyday life. The whole experience felt like visiting a good friend who was showing us around their city. We visited not only shrines, temples, and markets, but also some beautiful traditional gardens. The tour was very relaxed, so we were able to learn a lot while also simply enjoying the atmosphere and taking everything in. It was a very interactive tour and the perfect combination of interesting historical information and authentic cultural experiences — from trying delicious local food to learning about traditions and getting little glimpses into everyday Japanese life. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Japan!

We had a fantastic private tour of Edinburgh with Colin. He was personable, entertaining, and incredibly knowledgeable, with a wonderful sense of humor. He took the time to learn about our interests and tailored the tour especially for us, combining Edinburgh’s fascinating history with medical history, and many hidden places we never would have discovered on our own. Colin showed us quiet closes, secluded gardens, and lesser-known corners of the city, explaining the history and stories behind each one. His passion for Edinburgh was obvious, and his storytelling made the city’s history come alive. The tour never felt rushed or scripted—it felt personal, engaging, and truly unique. This was one of the highlights of our entire vacation. We would highly recommend Colin to anyone who wants to experience Edinburgh beyond the usual tourist attractions.

Tony, Sep 2026

Our tour with Tonya went beyond our expectations! She explained everything we were seeing while being personal. She took us to many places while explaining the history or value of each place. I highly recommend Tonya as a walking guide.

We had a wonderful day in Hiroshima. The people are so friendly. This is our first trip to Japan. We didn't know what to expect from our half-day walking tour of Hiroshima. Ami made it so special. She more than met our expectations. Ami made our visit to Peace Park amazing and informative. She spent additional time with us after our tour. She gave insights and directions to places we should see in Hiroshima during our visit. If you can request a guide, please ask for Ami.

Mami was brilliant! She communicated her suggestions with me prior to my arrival in Japan and then also arranged to change days due to the typhoon. The four hours spent with her went by very quickly and she was very informative about the areas/places that she showed me, including how to use the train system. Mami was very kind and knowledgeable, and I would recommend her for in first timers in the Tokyo area. I received two paper planes at the end of my tour from her made from beautifully patterned origami paper. I great way of remembering my tour with her.

Our two-hour walking tour of Athens was a great way to kick-off our stay. Michaël Is an excellent guide, starting with pre-trip communication and continuing throughout the journey and culminating with an excellent recommendation for dinner. During the tour he took us to some less visited locations around Athens with great views of the Acropolis and introduced us to several neighborhoods. He maintained a good pace but often stopped to talk about the area, sights and history. A very worthwhile experience.

Claudia is very knowledgeable about Austria, Salzburg history and shares information both thru her words and also with some pics she has on her iPad. She met us at our hotel and helped us make a decision about transport to our next location before we started off. Claudia also pointed out where the bus stop was for the next day and where the restaurant and concert we had tickets for were which helped orient us. She also told us we could use our free bus ticket for part of our journey to Hallstatt. Highly recommend doing a tour with Claudia!

Carmen catered our tour to what we wanted to see, was open to changing our route depending on what interested us, had so many suggestions for places to eat and more things to explore given the time. She was open and friendly and fun to be around. We would definitely recommend this tour to people new to Madrid or wanting to see a different side to it.
