Hi, I’m Gess

My friends say I am a funny, sensitive and sociable person filled with loads of positive energy and I can't argue. I absolutely love food, and cooking, so if you want a taste of London (literally) you are in luck! When I'm not cooking, I'm dancing and this passion has taken me to some really great spots in the city that I would love to share with you. And you don't need your dancing shoes because we will keep things diverse. I have travelled across London and know the best spots that I would love to show you. I am a great CityUnscripted host as I am a combination of reliable, sociable and I am a funny person.

Gessica was an amazing London ambassador, tour guide, foodie, conversationalist! She took all my suggestions and folded them into our day. She even managed to meet me at my hotel.

Book this tour you will not regret it.

Gessi is amazing. She is kind, fun, adventurous, knowledgeable and above all easy to be with. I was worried me being solo might bore her but she is lovely to chat, eat, learn from. Best food, walking tour Ever!

Edward 26 October 2023

Knowing we had already been to many popular attractions, Gessica took us to off-the-beaten-path areas of London to ensure we saw something new. She also took the time to plan visits covering different ethnicities, while working around a dairy allergy for the treats of the tour. We had a most wonderful time and really enjoyed Gessica’s company.

I love that David took me to places and suburbs I didn’t know about. The conversation was engaging as we had similar interests so felt the host was well suited to me.

Edward

Yuka was not only so knowledgeable about everywhere went, she carried diagrams with her to help put it into perspective, and aside from that she has an amazing personality; it is so easy to chat with her. It was like meeting an old friend and she makes you feel so welcomed and comfortable. I really appreciate that. We also ate at a local place and learned of new Japanese food from Hiroshima we never heard of. Okonomiyaki!
