Latest reviews from our guests

    From beginning to end, the best experience one could ask for. We tried three other guide services in Paris, but this was by far the best. From the communication prior to the tour you knew City Unscripted was going to be special. We would not hesitate to use them in other countries.

    Very full 3 hour tour. Excellent way to learn about Montmartre. Hristo imparted a lot of information and I feel I saw a lot of Montmartre and got a good sense of it.

    We had a wonderful family experience on this personalized tour. I really appreciated that Elie reached out a couple of days beforehand to ask what we wanted to see and experience. He was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and interacted well with everyone in our group. Elie also took us to a fantastic restaurant that we would never have found on our own. Since it was our first time in Paris, this tour was the perfect way to see the sights that interested us most, especially since we were short on time. I highly recommend this personalized tour to anyone visiting Paris who wants a customized and memorable experience.
