We had the pleasure of Jacqueline guiding us around Toronto and showing us not only the historic and contemporary highlights, but the little known gems as well. As a native with enormous Canadian pride, she has in-depth knowledge of both history and lore which made our day thoroughly fascinating and enjoyable!

We used City Unscripted twice this spring, and loved both experiences. The local guides really tailored our experiences to our interests and we felt we had a deeper, more meaningful time than one of the 'canned' tours most companies offer, for the same cost. We will use it again when we are in one of the cities that they operate in.

Jorge's private, custom walking tour of Oaxaca city center for our group of three was amazing. He tailored the experience to our interests and it was exceptionally informative. Jorge brought so much of his interesting personal history and family background to the conversation. He also offered expert guidance on other things to do in Oaxaca. I would recommend Jorge specifically and City Unscripted in general to anyone looking for a great introduction and orientation to the city. Thank you Jorge!

Had an incredibly fun private tour. I was notified politely beforehand and asked if I had any special requests for the tour. A lot of interesting information was shared that enriches your experience in Tokyo / Japan.

Guide Nicola was punctual, accommodating, easy to communicate and converse with, shared stories about the sights we visited and also tips on where and how to take great pics! He told me about his favourite gelato in Bologna and yes, I agree Sable was excellent (after tasting 6 flavours)!
