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.
From neon-lit nightlife on private tours of Japan to art- and culture-packed private tours of Italy, City Unscripted invites you to explore amazing countries around the world with knowledgeable local guides. Our personalized tours in over 45 iconic cities around the world are the ideal way to experience a new place. Whether you soak up the sunshine on private tours of Lisbon, uncover centuries of culture on private tours in London, or swivel your head between Silicon Valley start-ups on private tours in San Francisco, the world is waiting to be discovered. Are you ready?
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!
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.

I used City Unscripted for a tour in Bordeaux in June '26. I did the 4 hour private tour on my first full day in Bordeaux with Fafa. I had never been to Bordeaux or to France. This was a solo trip and my first overseas trip. I booked the trip through my bank and because of that she was not able to contact me prior to know what I was interested in doing for the tour. Despite that, Fafa was amazing, she took me everywhere and I mean everywhere. The knowledge she had of Bordeaux was immense. She made me feel comfortable, it was like walking around with a friend. Having gone solo to France I'm glad I did a private tour because my French is not very good and she did the tour in English. Since I was solo, she helped me get photos of myself in front of a lot of different places. I feel like I wouldn't have gotten much out of a group tour because of the language barrier. I also wouldn't have gotten all the photos I did get. Because of her tour and the information she gave me I felt very comfortable navigating Bordeaux on my own the rest of the time I was there. I will definitely being using City Unscripted for any other places that I go. If you are traveling I would highly suggest using City Unscripted to learn about the city you are visiting. I would also suggest doing it on your first full day because it will help you get an understanding of the place you are visiting.
