We spent a very enjoyable few hours with Max in Bordeaux. He was charming, polite and set an ideal pace for bunch of old geezers. The walk around the old part of town was relaxed and more like meeting up with an old friend than a tour guide. Two reasons for this; we learned more about Max than we did of Bordeax and Max didn't really know many historical facts about the places he took us to. He often knew the basics but not extra facts. "I don't know" was a frequent answer. But somehow, it didn't matter. He showed us some nice places, tailored the route to our interests and pointed out a nice place for lunch. Good luck learning more rhyming slander, my old mucker. More facts...five stars.
We really enjoyed our time with Jill. She knew we had been to Edinburgh before and detailed a tour that included hidden pockets of history within the Royal mile as well as other features on Princess Street and The Potrait Gallery and ending at the Sir Walter Scott Memorial. Jill was well informed and very pleasant to be with.
Our tour with Jose in Dublin, Ireland could not have been any better. Jose was so kind, full of details and knowledge, considerate of our needs, and so much fun! He gave us the perfect tour with a lot of inside information! Thank you, Jose, for an amazing introduction to this fascinating city! You can’t ask for a better guide! We hit the jack pot!!!
Daniela was great! She created a custom tour that was exactly what we wanted to to in Naples! Very knowledgeable and friendly!
I did a two hour Berlin tour with Nick. Nick was very thorough with background and history, as well lesser known facts about the city. It was very enjoyable and I wish I had time for a longer tour.
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.
We had the pleasure of Jacqueline guiding us around Toronto and showing us not only the historic and contemporary highlights, but the little known gems as well. As a native with enormous Canadian pride, she has in-depth knowledge of both history and lore which made our day thoroughly fascinating and enjoyable!
Ondrej was an amazing guide and storyteller. His humor matched up well with ours and made our tour seem more like catching up with an old friend. Cheers Ondrej!

Shanna is the best!! So knowledgeable and left us a very good impression of the city with her passion and stories. She checked with me ahead of time to plan the day, and gave us a magical experience for the day!
Marie was thoughtful, warm and generous with my needs. It was a hot day. I still have her fan
Patrick really knew Brussels! We saw so much of the city and he planned the day perfectly. He really understood what we wanted to see and even had a few surprise spots to show us! It’s was a spectacular day in Brussels with a spectacular guide.
Kokoro went put of his way to make the entire experience fun, educational, and easy. He answered all our questions wether they were related to the tour culturally, or how to get somewhere, to where the best resturant was. He is energetic, humorous, warm, friendly and talkative!
Gerry was FANTASTIC! We did this tour on my 60th birthday and he certainly made it very memorable for my wife and I. He showed us sites we didn’t even know existed, which I love. It was amazing!
