Cloti is an excellent tour guide. She made my husband and I feel very welcomed to Seville. We had a wonderful walking tour full of interesting and unexpected bits of history and culture. We love the personal touch and being able to have a conversation instead of listening to a rote script. It was very special to be introduced to Seville this way - we highly recommend!

Cloti was very knowledgeable about the history of Seville as well as the history of important cities that were related to our tour such as Cadiz, Granada, Cordoba to name a few She was very professional and patient giving us time to enjoy the places of interest and taking pictures, She was very helpful, she pointed out restaurants, extra places to visit and distance from Seville On top of that, It stated raining during our excursion and she went out of her way and bought us some umbrellas I definitely would recommend this wonderful lady as a tourist guide

Tina was awesome and, of course, being a native of Seville, showed us the real city. As the locals enjoy it. We sampled good cuisine, Spanish beer and olives. This was one of the most enjoyable ways to experience Seville. Best 3 hours we spent. Thanks Tina!

City Unscripted continues to deliver. Pablo was the perfect guide: Seville-born and passionate about his city, he also studied history and so has an exceptionally deep knowledge about Seville and Spain, with a smart sense of humour. Our tour was well paced and varied, which gave us an excellent sense of the city that helped us in the days that followed. Add that Pablo gave us superb recommendations, and we feel that a big part of why we loved our visit to Seville, was thanks to him!

Secret Granada: Courtyards, Clay & Quiet Corners

You could step off the street into a space that feels personal, part home, part workshop, shaped by time and habit. Some guests pause to take it in. Others are drawn into conversation, or simply stay a while in the stillness.

Secret Granada: Courtyards, Clay & Quiet Corners

Following narrow lanes, your host might lead you past the ivy-covered walls of old carmens, homes with hidden gardens. You could pause at a viewpoint that reveals laundry lines and tiled rooftops rather than grand palaces.

Down a side street, a softly lit collective might invite you in. Whether you wander past textiles, paper, or pottery, this is less about shopping and more about understanding the hands behind the work.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour or something different?

This isn’t a traditional tour with a fixed script. It’s a fully personalized day shaped around your interests, whether it’s culture, history, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots. Your host is a knowledgeable local, more like a friend showing you their city. It’s flexible, one-on-one, and tailored entirely to you.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire where you can share your interests, travel style, and any must-see spots. Based on that, we’ll match you with a local host who’ll reach out to plan your personalized itinerary..

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

How much walking is involved?

This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.
