Personalized shopping tours beyond the chain stores

Maria was an amazing tour guide. She was very flexible and catered to our preferences. We had our young kids with us who easily became tired as the heat got worse during the middle of the day. She was able to pivot and take us to an indoor museum of old Osaka. Our youngest was able to wear a kimono during that visit and she absolutely loved it. We definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Osaka.

Maria was a great guide! Very funny and knowledgeable about all the sites! She spoke perfect English and Japanese! So impressed!

Maria was a great tour guide. She showed us exactly what we asked for. She had good knowledge and was very personable! I recommend!!

Maria was an excellent guide. Her English was perfect. She adjusted the tour to meet my kids interests (food!!!). Maria is very kind and was easy to be with for 6 hours. Tour ran on time and was well organized. We were very pleased. Would highly recommend her.

Ale is very friendly and knowledgeable about culture and history of Kyoto, he showed us very interesting offbeat places, took many nice pictures of us, we really enjoyed his guide.

Alex is very friendly and knowledgeable about Kyoto, we had a great time.

Alex really enhanced our trip a great deal! Very knowledgeable about local history and culture. His perspective helped us understand the uniqueness of different regions of Japan. He was very helpful in navigating the area and the helped us buy travel items we needed such as stamps and sunglasses! We appreciated his insight in what it is like for locals living here in Japan instead of just seeing tourist sights! Really enjoyed going to a local supermarket to discuss what families ear and getting a flavor for daily life in Japan.

On the day of the tour we were greeted by a WhatsApp message from Alex offering assistance in finding the meet-up spot which was a nice touch. Alex was very friendly and welcoming throughout the tour with excellent English speaking skills. He was very knowledgeable about the area covered in the tour and about Japan and its history in general. Alex was happy to take photographs for us throughout the tour. Alex was very happy to recommend additional areas of interest in Kyoto and other areas of Japan. I would highly recommend the this tour as an introduction to Gion and Kyoto in general, if this is early in your trip you may also get recommendations for other areas of Japan during your stay.

We loved the Osaka Food Tour. My son and I have serious & different food allergies, so this was a safer way to experience several of the food markets in Osaka. Fumiko, our guide, was the absolute BEST!

Our experience with Fumiko in Osaka was great. From the moment we met, she made us feel welcomed and completely at ease. Her energy, and knowledge of the city brought every place we visited to life in a personal and meaningful way. Fumiko didn’t just take us to the usual tourist spots—she introduced us to hidden gems, local eateries, and cultural insights we might have not discovered on our own. We explored historic temples, the longest market in Japan, and even some quiet backstreet eateriesand coffee houses. She always had fascinating stories and local tips to share. Fumiko customized the tour to our interests. She paid close attention to what we said we liked and adjusted the pace and activities perfectly. It felt more like exploring the city with a friend than being on a tour. If you're visiting Osaka and want a truly authentic and engaging experience, I recommend Fumiko vety highly. She made our time in the city unforgettable, and my family and I would definitely be reaching out to her again on our next trip!

Excellent recommendations and very good service. If we ever needed something the restaurant didn't provide Fumiko jumped up to get it. We had great service at every restaurant picked and wonderful food, and she was understanding of our dietary needs.

Fumiko was amazing. I lost count of how many great places we stoped for food & drink. Delicious! She had to take extra care with us because I have a gluten allergy and my son is allergic to shellfish, peanuts & nuts. We are so grateful to her. She is a wonderful ambassador for Osaka and City Unscripted!

Milo was an outstanding, knowledgeable, and upbeat guide. He was very communicative, punctual, and he even gave us tips for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend!

Milo was superb! This man sure knows his history, and he is gifted in his ability to share his knowledge in a way that is both captivating and interesting. Even my teenage boys were paying close attention to him, and they never got bored (which says a lot for teenagers on a historical tour). Milo effortlessly guided us throughout Kyoto, and picked the perfect places for us to enjoy. When we return, we will seek him out to be our tour guide every time!

Absolutely wonderful experience. My guide Milos was amazing. Great Personality, extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Kyoto. He was able to take me “off the beaten path” where there were no crowds. I interacted and dined at a tiny counter in someone’s home. Just an overall wonderful way to see the city at an economical price point. Will recommend for sure.

Milo was personable, engaging, knowledgeable and super flexible guide. We had 3 kids with us which required a lot of breaks, stops and restroom breaks. We got to see a lot of places and get the history behind it. Highly recommend Milo!!

Victor was excellent. He brought us through the real Hong Kong and we got to taste authentic street food of all types. Highly recommended

Victor was excellent Organisation of tour was poor. We did not receive the pre tour questionnaire. There was no contact details on the voucher and the hotel concierge found the what’s app number for us to contact. So Victor gets 5 out of 5 and organisatio. Gets 2 out of 5

We very much enjoyed our full-day, private tour of Hong Kong with Victor. With only one day to spend in Hong Kong, time was well spent, seeing the city’s many highlights and local spots as well. Victor impressed us with his pleasant personality, knowledge of the area, and passion for sharing. Highly recommend booking this tour with Victor! P.S. Thank you for the pictures, Victor!

Victor was an excellent guide. He knew so much about the areas, the history, some back street and unique places and also showed us how to get around the city using the MTR card (we got the Octopus - it was the smart decision). We learned a lot, saw so much in the 4 hour tour and would recommend him. Note - some things you can do on your own, so use the tour wisely as it was private.

Toga was a personable, fun and provided great knowledge/insight into to various temples we visited. Along with a delicious lunch recommendation and further tips for us to continue exploring on our own after the tour. Thank you very much for a great half day tour, it was great meeting you.

Toga was an excellent guide. He provided cultural and historic context for each site we visited. He was flexible based on an extra stop we wanted to make and was fun to talk with. Great food recommendations and after tour recommendations as well.

Toga was amazing. He showed us beautiful shrines and temples and modified the itinerary based on our requests. He also gave us very helpful information for the rest of our stay. He was the key to our entire visit and a really great enjoyable guy

Toga was a fantastic guide. We wanted to experience food in Kyoto we might not find ourselves and he delivered. We had a fantastic evening of food and drink along with great conversation. Our best evening on this trip thus far.

Marisol was an amazing tour guide! She made the whole trip really special and personal for my family, she even made special signs and greetings for my kids that they loved. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Marisol was an amazing tour guide! She made the whole trip really special and personal for my family, she even helped us rearrange our day to see special local events that we would have never found on our own. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Marisol was amazing! Very knowledgeable

Marisol was a wonderful guide! Super knowledgeable about the history of the city and architecture. We loved our tour with her and had a fabulous time learning.

Enjoyed shopping for lunch at the food hall. Aya explained what all the food items were. We really enjoyed our picnic - all the different dishes were amazing. Aya was happy to take photos for us at all the different spots that we visited. Aya is definitely a people person and is the right person for the job.

Aya was very knowledgeable, and has the perfect personality for a tour guide. She happily took photos of us at all the stops. We absolutely loved being taken to the food hall to choose our lunch, quite an experience. Aya explained what all the dishes were and each dish was delicious when we later had our picnic. I couldn’t praise Aya and this tour any higher. The highlight of our trip. Thank you so much Aya.

We really enjoyed all the sights around Harajuku and Asakusa! It was a wonderful blend of modern and traditional. Ayaka was a great guide who supplied us with tons of information, and also offered to help us take pictures and gave great suggestions.

Great walking tour. Our guide Ayaka was so very knowledgeable, friendly, and ever so helpful in so many ways! Thank you, Aya!

Claudio was wonderful. He gives a thoughtful tour of Bologna with small and big details. He knows the history of the University and city well. He showed me where the best food spots were. I had THE BEST pasta I have had in my life there!!!

Het was een interessante tour over de geschiedenis, belangrijkste gebeurtenissen en de belangrijkste gebouwen van Bologna . Onze gids Claudio was een fijn persoon, die goed Engels spraak en ook nog veel informatie kon geven over restaurants etc. It was an interesting tour about the history, main events and the most important buildings of Bologna. Our guide Claudio was a nice person, who spoke good English and could also give a lot of information about restaurants etc.

We took a tour with Claudio and enjoyed every minute. He covered a bunch of hidden gems and did not miss any of the major sites along the way. Well done Cloudio!

Claudio was one of the best tour guides I have had! He is very knowledgeable about everything Bologna! He ended the tour at his favorite pasta restaurant and I bought some to go. It was THE BEST pasta I have ever had! I highly recommend Claudio's tour!

Our guide Kenya was excellent. He was communicative before our arrive to personalize our experience and organized it in a manner that helped us to avoid the major rush at some locations.

Kenya was a great guide for our introduction tour to Kyoto, personable and knowledgeable! If had more time we would have requested more time/exploration of Kyoto with him. Gave us recommendations of restaurants and shopping in addition.

Excellent communication throughout starting from prior to tour and throughout. Tour was very unrushed. Kenya made sure we were able to experience what we had requested prior to the tour.

The tour was awesome! Kenya, our guide through the streets of Kyoto, was extremely knowledgeable. He showed us temples, shrines, traditional homes etc., explaining the history of each site. He also managed to answer random questions we asked along the way! It is a small group so it was just 3 of us and Kenya. Highly recommend.
