Super helpful about Seoul and showed us the best places all within 15 minutes of our hotel, to eat and of cultural interest. Palace and Hanok was the best thing we have done for a long time. We would not have found half the places without the tour and was just what we needed on our first day to really start to get to know Seoul

Seoul

This was an amazing tour that was personalized to my interest. I chose the perfect half day in Dubai tour. City Unscripted held true when they matched me with the perfect tour guide. This was a private tour and Charlie Miiro my guide had great suggestions and took me to places that I hadn’t thought about. I appreciated Miiro’s flexibility, knowledge of Dubai amongst other things. In addition we had a lot of engaging conversation along the way. I was celebrating my 35th birthday this trip and Miiro surprised me with a little gift which just shows how thoughtful he is and the type of host City Unscripted employs. Thanks again to the team of City Unscripted and most of all Miiro for a wonderful experience.
