A guided tour in NYC you need to book

We had a great time with our host Greg (and the photographer Marco). Greg was so kind and gave us so many recommendations (not only for Greenich Village where the tour took place). We visited nice places where we surely wouldn't have entered w/o Greg as we wouldn't have known that we could have fine food there. Greg asked and listened on what we would like to eat or not. It was a complete costomized tour for us. The tour was not only about food. We talked a lot and got to know also historical and cultural topics of the area. Also the contact with other employees from CityUnscripted was so kind and lovely. We totally recommend from the heart booking a guided tour at CityUnscripted! Was so far our best guided tour. Absolutaly worth it!

Two 1/2 days walking around New York

Ross was generous with his time, had a good knowledge of New York, was flexible around our long list of sights to see and provided us with knowledge of the Subway system which we really appreciated. I would recommend City Unscripted to friends and family when looking for a walking tour of New York. This tour was good value for money spent.

Great time in NYC - November 2016

We had a great time exploring NYC with Gabby in November 2016. A really fun, knowledgeable and professional local. 4 hours around Chelsea / High Line / Meat Packing District was really excellent. I would certainly book Gabby again. An experienced that really was fun.
