I had the most wonderful experience in Madrid, all thanks to Pedro! From the very beginning, he was incredibly helpful with the pre-tour planning and went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and preferences. Pedro has a remarkable ability to bring Madrid's history to life, seamlessly blending fascinating historical insights with his extensive knowledge of architecture. He was engaging, personable, funny, and an excellent communicator throughout the tour, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. His passion for the city was evident in every aspect of the walk. To top it all off, Pedro surprised us at the end with some delicious local treats, which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. This was truly one of the highlights of our visit to Madrid, and we cannot recommend Pedro highly enough. If you're looking for an authentic, insightful, and enjoyable experience, look no further!

Jorge's private, custom walking tour of Oaxaca city center for our group of three was amazing. He tailored the experience to our interests and it was exceptionally informative. Jorge brought so much of his interesting personal history and family background to the conversation. He also offered expert guidance on other things to do in Oaxaca. I would recommend Jorge specifically and City Unscripted in general to anyone looking for a great introduction and orientation to the city. Thank you Jorge!

Darren was an absolute joy. He was so knowledgeable of the Manchester music scene and took us to all the places on my bucket list. His anecdotes were very entertaining as was his understanding of the city’s history. I feel like we made a new friend.

We had the absolute pleasure of having GJ, Won Jee Eun as our tour guide in Seoul today, and she was truly outstanding. From the moment the tour began, she was warm, professional, incredibly patient, and genuinely passionate about sharing her knowledge. Her English was excellent, making every explanation clear and easy to understand. She took the time to answer every question thoroughly and never made anyone feel rushed, which made the entire experience relaxed, enjoyable, and engaging. She was also very attentive to our well-being, especially on a very warm day, regularly checking in to make sure everyone was comfortable and hydrated, and thoughtfully giving us little breaks in between so we could rest and not feel tired or exhausted. What really made the day special was the way she brought Korea to life. She didn’t just show us the sights; she shared the country’s fascinating history, traditions, customs, and local culture in such an interesting and memorable way that we learned far more than we ever expected. Her enthusiasm and storytelling kept us captivated throughout the tour, and the well-timed pauses and breaks she included made it easy for us to fully enjoy each experience without feeling overwhelmed. Without a doubt, she is one of the very best tour guides we have ever had anywhere in the world, and we would highly recommend her to anyone visiting Seoul. She is a real credit to your company, and we are extremely grateful for such an unforgettable experience.

We had one day in Amsterdam. With only one day to make pedestrian footprint we did not want to walk around aimlessly lost. This is where our guide Alan came in. Alan became part of our unforgettable Amsterdam experience. Our footprint requested of some thrift stores, cheese store and as many miles as possible. Alan started taking us by train to the markets walking our way back to our starting point by weaving in and out of all the side streets, the pretty streets, the roads less traveled, all while site seeing spontaneously. For example, at the thrift store a high pair of shoes were selling for 15 Euros. On our journey back we stopped at the brand-name shoe store and found the vary same pair of shoes priced at $250. Alan showed us the square memorials plaques in front homes where Jews had one lived before they were killed in World War ll. I was later able to share this fact at the Anne Frank Museum. When we needed to use the toilet , Alan found the cleanest and fanciest places. He new when to hurry us along and when we wanted to hang a bit longer. We moved around, did and learned a lot. Alan pointed out other places to visit with directions. Genuinely, we had a better time in Amsterdam with Alan as our guide!

We really enjoyed our time with Karla getting to know Melbourne. She presented a varied tour with mixes of old and new, history and current affairs. Very easy to engage with and open to discussing topics that interested us. We were left with great recommendations to fill the rest of our days in the city.

We really enjoyed our day in Haarlem with our excellent and personable guide, Craig. The tour included the train to Haarlem and back with Craig accompanying us. Lunch was also included and I enjoyed a lovely glass of wine. On our way to Haarlem Craig asked what we were most interested in seeing while there and he made sure that was accomplished. The tour was very much directed at a pace comfortable to us and flexible enough to include significant time in the cathedral when my husband determined he wanted to explore the interior a bit. We highly recommend this private tour and can attest to it being well worth the cost.

We had a wonderful afternoon with Dalit. She is delightful, friendly quise who made us feel very special and most welcome. The historical content that she imparted was both informative and entertaining and has truly stimulated our appetite for Danish history.

Roberto was an excellent tour guide. He really gave us the history of Naples and the food tour was above and beyond our expectations. It was truly a pleasure spending the day with him and he did an exceptional job. I would recommend his services to any of the travel agents that I work with

We had a very limited time in Porto and this was a great way to get the most out of it. When I booked, I received a questionnaire asking what our interests were - art, local cuisine, architecture. We were paired with Mayinka who reached out before the tour to help coordinate and plan our tour. She is bursting with energy and enthusiasm for the arts and for Porto! We started off with a visit to a food market, where she arranged tasting of olive oils, local cured meats, and other things we expressed interest in. Then we were off to a chocolate shop for more tasting, and she showed us several local restaurants she recommended highly. After that we were walking here, there and everywhere. The benefit of the private tour was that we were able to skip things we had already seen (the famous bridge of Porto), and see unique street art we would never have known to look for! Mayinka knew all the history and fun stories as well. I really appreciated her in-depth knowledge of the current local art scene, it really helped bring the city alive to us! It’s a great way to spend a morning in Porto. Highly recommend!

We took an eight-hour tour with Aisyah through Kuala Lumpur. She reached out to us early on beforehand to ask about our interests. We exchanged messages back and forth several times, and she made sure the tour really matched what we were interested in. We asked her to take us off the beaten tourist path through the city. That was really great. We learned an incredible amount and saw corners of the city that you normally wouldn’t get to as a tourist. Aisyah is also a truly charming person. It was an all-round wonderful day. A thousand thanks for that.
