I had the most wonderful experience in Madrid, all thanks to Pedro! From the very beginning, he was incredibly helpful with the pre-tour planning and went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and preferences. Pedro has a remarkable ability to bring Madrid's history to life, seamlessly blending fascinating historical insights with his extensive knowledge of architecture. He was engaging, personable, funny, and an excellent communicator throughout the tour, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. His passion for the city was evident in every aspect of the walk. To top it all off, Pedro surprised us at the end with some delicious local treats, which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. This was truly one of the highlights of our visit to Madrid, and we cannot recommend Pedro highly enough. If you're looking for an authentic, insightful, and enjoyable experience, look no further!

Had a fantastic tour with Kenya back in January exploring many of Kyoto's beautiful sights. One of my favourite parts was visiting the Sake distilleries in the south- they were super interesting but also the surrounding area was virtually free of tourists and felt like a more authentically Japanese area. Very knowledgeable, friendly and especially helpful with taking photos and videos since I was a lone traveller! ありがとうございました！

Darren was an absolute joy. He was so knowledgeable of the Manchester music scene and took us to all the places on my bucket list. His anecdotes were very entertaining as was his understanding of the city’s history. I feel like we made a new friend.

My tour of Hong Kong with Malin from City Unscripted was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we met, Malin made the experience feel personal, relaxed, and incredibly engaging. Instead of feeling like a standard tourist tour, it felt like exploring the city with a knowledgeable local friend who truly loves Hong Kong. Malin shared so much insight into the culture, history, food, and hidden gems of the city while also tailoring the experience to my interests and pace. We discovered places and details I never would have found on my own given the limited time I had, and every stop felt meaningful and authentic. What stood out most was Malin’s warmth, energy, and ability to create such a welcoming atmosphere throughout the day. Hong Kong can feel overwhelming at first, but Malin helped me feel connected to the city in a genuine and memorable way. Highly recommend City Unscripted and especially Malin if you want a thoughtful, personalized, and unforgettable Hong Kong experience.

We have the best tour guides all over Japan. They were all very friendly and all fabulous. Rei in Himeji was exceptional. Helpful. Planned and booked a fantastic lunch and had extra little videos to show us at assorted locations. She was perfection. She arranged our tour such that we would get to each of the different locations with less crowds, and in the least hot part of the day. She took us to locations that other people might’ve bypassed. Marie in Tokyo was SO COOL! She was knowledgeable and friendly and amazing! She had a lot of knowledge about the city and really got along with my daughter when they realize they shared an interest in the same music. We Have a great time with her. Eugene, and Kyoto was wonderful. We opted for the night tour, so even though a lot of the shrines were closed, we got to see them just not enter them, which was OK because we didn’t need to enter every single shrine in Kyoto. He told us all about Guyon and the history and the architecture And what they do to the cedar on the buildings. He told us the history of the place he told us some pop culture about the place. And he took us to an incredible Ramen place. He also took us in and around the different areas where there were less crowds, but more beauties than We even expected. In Osaka,, Kanna Took us on a food tour that was exceptional. She also managed to get us a tea room excursion after our event because a friend she had in town. Everything we tried to book was sold out, and she made one phone call and we were in by 4:30. she was incredibly funny, very helpful and oh my gosh, the food in Osaka! I can’t even. Our final Tori, Nora, with the peaceful, playful deer, ha ha, was really wonderful. Our tour guide, Eugene was fantastic. He took us first, up to the top of the building so we can see the whole city. He then took us in and around and through all of the most important parts of Nora. And he was wonderful to talk to you. Thank you so much for your incredible staff and all of your incredible tours.

Edmond stepped up the last minute as our guide. The weather was not on our side with torrential rain but in spite of this, he was able to take us to well known spots in HK. He asked for our opinion along the way being that the weather was on and off. Overall, we got a good introduction of the city.
