Private tours with City Unscripted are the most unforgettable way to see the world. We make sure no experience is off-limits, whether we show you the Laurentian Library – Michelangelo’s least-visited architectural work – on private tours in Florence, or take you to a secret spot at the Seine where locals gather to dance at dusk on private tours in Paris. You could be interested in art, architecture, nightlife or food – book a day with us, and we’ll pair you with a local insider who shares your passions. From must-see sightseeing tours to food tours to experiences off the beaten track, get ready to explore a city like you’re visiting a friend who lives there.

Travel tailored to you

On private tours of Tokyo, maybe you’ll uncover ancient temples and shrines, or perhaps you’re more interested in 24-hour karaoke bars and hole-in-the-wall bars. You could easily spend a day soaking up the iconic pub scene on private tours in Dublin, or maybe you’ll want to uncover the city’s literary history instead. Everyone has different interests, and private tours with City Unscripted bypass any boring bits and get straight to the good stuff. We know anyone with a guidebook can explore the top tourist sights – that’s why our private tours are 100% personalized to you!

From top sights to off the tourist trail

In any city, there are tourist sights that are totally unmissable. On private tours in Hong Kong, the Temple Street Night Market is a must-see, and on NYC private tours, skipping out on Times Square would be a crime! But what makes a destination truly memorable is the lesser-known sights that only a local would know about. Our private tours, led by our network of incredible local guides around the world, let you discover a city beyond its world-famous attractions. Whether you’re on private tours in Barcelona or Mexico City, you’ll get off the beaten path and uncover a city’s secret side.

    Anna was an amazing tour guide. She gave us wonderful historical information about Munich, showed us some local favorite eateries and also kept our child in mind for things to see and do. She was very personable and I recommend her to anyone who is coming to Munich.

    Colin was a great guide. Very suitable chap to vist Edinburgh, knows everything thing of the town, every single nook and cranny. He kept up with our pace, adjusted if we got tired but we got a chance to see all the town. Ajusted the schedule to our needs and we even had a change to visit the Edinburgh's St. Giles Cathedal, great for us. Very good experience.
