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.

This was a fabulous way to spend our first afternoon in Munich! Naveen, our tour guide, met us in our hotel lobby and escorted us via U-bahn to Marienplatz. (It was nice to have help navigating bus/subway tickets and directions since this was our first day in town.) Naveen was a wealth of information about the buildings, history, politics, culture and food in the area. We went into several of the churches around Marienplatz and he made sure we had the perfect spot to watch the Glockenspiel show on the tower of the New Town Hall. Naveen took lots of photos of me and my husband for us, which is nice when traveling as a couple. Since it was just the 2 of us on the tour, Naveen tailored the sights and discussion to what we were interested in. He even gave us tips for what to see on the other days of our vacation. He really does know and love Munich! We learned a LOT in a short time. I highly recommend this tour for anyone coming to Munich!

Paulina shared so many fun facts and gems about Bologna. Walked and talked at a good pace. Paused when needed for the group. Loved she shared her personal experience in Bologna. She really was wonderful, kind and welcoming. A great way to start our vacation in a place we were not familiar with.

This was a well paced tour around Toulouse. We saw huge churches and much smaller ones. Sylvan was a great guide and impacted so much knowledge. We really enjoyed this walk. Highly recommended.

Our guide, Giuseppe, made our trip to London very special. He tailored the morning to our personal choices, but also threw in a few extra surprises. Little bit of history, little bit of culture and a whole lot of information in a conversational way. Like traveling with a friend!

There is no praise high enough to express what a wonderful day we had with Circle Walker being our guide. She met us at our hotel and took us by Star ferry, taxi, tram, and MTR (Mass Transit Rail) subway all over Hong Kong. We saw Hong Kong from the IFC observation deck, went through Hong Kong park (botanic gardens & aviary), saw Yao Tong temple complex, saw street markets, had a fabulous lunch and much more. Circle was perhaps the best guide we’ve ever had and she treated us with many special surprises as well! She was a font of historical & cultural knowledge and was fun to be with. We have made a new friend, and you will too. We could not give her a higher recommendation as a guide… and she’s a talented artist as well!
