Hi, I’m alberto

Valencia

I’m fascinated by the city’s unique blend of Gothic, Mediterranean modernism, and contemporary architecture, from the Lonja de la Seda to the City of Arts and Sciences. Exploring the historic quarters, winding streets, and vibrant plazas is one of my favorite ways to show how Valencia’s history and culture have evolved. I also enjoy discovering the city’s gastronomy, from traditional markets to innovative restaurants, and strolling through the Turia Gardens to admire its blend of green spaces and bold architecture. I know neighborhoods like Ciutat Vella, Ruzafa, Gran Via, Pla del Real, and Montolivete inside out, and I’m passionate about helping visitors experience Valencia’s art, architecture, and culinary treasures.

Hi, I’m Malena

Valencia

After ten years in London, I came back home with a fresh perspective and a deep appreciation for my city’s creativity and warmth. I live in El Cabanyal, a colorful seaside neighborhood full of stories, culture, and life. What I enjoy most is exploring Valencia’s blend of Gothic, Modernist, and futuristic architecture, and capturing the city’s magic light - from the soft tones of sunrise by the sea to the golden glow of sunset. Guiding others through these moments is my favorite way to show the true essence of Valencia.

We met Pau punctually at our meeting point for a 3 hour walking tour of Barcelona. Pau then proceeded to show us lots of off the beaten track places “hidden gems”, he had so much knowledge and information to share and was very passionate about his home city of Barcelona. Thoroughly enjoyed our tour which ran over time as he made sure we got to our next Viator booking - a Flamenco Dance show.

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.

What makes City Unscripted different?

We don’t do generic tours. Every experience is crafted around you, ensuring a unique, personal, and authentic way to explore the city. You won’t just see the sights—you’ll connect with the people and stories that bring the city to life.

Can I adjust the plan on the day?

Absolutely. Your host can adjust the itinerary on the day based on your pace, energy, or any new ideas you have. It’s a flexible experience from start to finish.

Will we enter attractions, or just explore from the outside?

That’s up to you! Some experiences include visits inside attractions, while others focus on the city's culture and atmosphere, which can be hard to truly experience without someone who knows the city inside out.

Can we explore outside the main city?

Yes! If you’re interested in day trips or exploring beyond the city, let us know in the post-booking questionnaire, and your host will design an itinerary that takes you to incredible places off the usual tourist path.

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.

What kind of stories and insights will my host share?

Each host has their own personal relationship with the city. You'll experience the city through their eyes—hearing stories about places they love, discovering hidden gems, and learning what makes their city special in a way that goes beyond a typical tour.
