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!

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.

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.

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!

Can I request specific places to visit?

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.

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 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.

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.
