Our tour guide Del was outstanding. Enthusiastic, optimistic, very accommodating and very street smart. She made sure to look out for my husband and I while guiding us to see the main sights. I was especially appreciative of how she spotted and stopped a pick pocketer who tried to remove something from my purse. She sternly looked at the pick pocketer, grabbed her hand and said “What are you doing!” The startled pick pocketer quickly exited the train. Thankfully I didn’t lose anything. My phone, cash, credit cards and sun glasses were safe thanks to this courageous act. Thanks to Del our first visit to Paris was filled with nothing but great memories and excellent pictures that she took. I highly recommend her as a tour guide.

Jill gave us a wonderful morning exploring the Montmartre region. As we requested, we walked everywhere and she showed us how central our hotel was. The morning flew by and she got us into our art galleries for a quick walk through and gave us a great history talk in the local park. We got back to the hotel with lunch from a local patisserie. I highly recommend Jill and this tour company. The company responded so quickly to our enquiries.

Two weeks and two great experiences with City Unscripted! The second was with Marie as we explored the Montmartre neighborhood in Paris. Marie also had a great personality and was knowledgeable on the area.
