Reviews of Our San Francisco Experiences

Kathy was the perfect host! We were thrilled to have had the opportunity to walk through the amazing Mission District with her. Her welcoming friendliness, love and knowledge of the city, and her thoughtful preparation made for an unforgettable experience. It is hard to pick a favorite spot because she introduced us to so many wonderful places and people we would never have found on our own. The community gardens, historic Mission, incredible chocolate-tasting, amazing murals, cultural and community centers, and finally our fantastic meal at Cubita were all rich and vibrant experiences reflecting the beauty of San Francisco. Kathy is a wonderful host for her beloved city. Many thanks Kathy and City Unscripted for a thoroughly enjoyable experience!

Wonderful day walking around the city with John who knew the city and its history. We loved seeing the city from his perspective all the alleys and historic spots. Best possible way to get to know the city.

6 of us had a great afternoon with Kathy. She is so knowledgeable and provided lots of vignettes and stories as well as the history of the MIssion District. We walked and visited where locals hung out, ate great local delicacies and Kathy was really helpful in pointing out interesting places, facts and photo opportunities. Our Instagram is now filled with #missiondistrict This is highly recommended! Kathy is definitely 6 stars up!
