Becky John was the perfect host for our private tour of London! She customized a personal tour for me and my adult daughter. We explored the main attractions as well as off-the-beaten path locations. It was so much fun! I cannot recommend Becky enough; it felt like we were going on a really cool adventure with an old friend. Becky was kind, knowledgeable, and fun. A+++++

We were on a family holiday and it was my teen son’s first time. He had come up with a list of things that he wanted to see and experience and I reached out to CityUnscripted to plan a day for us. Our guide JJ was the perfect match for my wacky group. He was jovial, informative and made the day special for us all. I can’t recommend him and CIty Unscripted enough.
