What you’ll do

Explore ‘hipster haven’ as you weave through the streets of Woodstock with your host, a neighborhood whose Victorian houses and old docklands warehouses have experienced an urban revival of late. With your local Cape Town host by your side, the warm and creative spirit of the locale will no doubt shine through. 

There’s a vibrant energy that flows through the streets and your host will open your eyes to the true nature of this ‘village in a city’ as you amble through the mural-lined streets with a coffee in hand (to blend in with the hipsters, of course).

You’ll visit the Old Biscuit Mill, the establishment many credit with kickstarting Woodstock’s revolution. On Saturdays, you’ll find an eclectic food market while during the week the vibe is more tranquil with its unique stores and coffee shops.

You can wander into artists’ studios, see provocative street art and stop by design-centered districts like the Woodstock Exchange. There’s never a dull moment here.

    We had a great tour with Tafa. He is friendly and has good knowledge of the history of Cape Town and is a good storyteller. He drives a good car suitable for 6 persons. He takes his guiding task serious and we felt comfortable and safe. His English was good. We recommend Tafa if you are looking for a good guide or chauffeur.

    Kejei met us at our hotel and explained our itinerary. We added the Sanja Matsuri festival to the plan and it fit right in to his itinerary for the day. We went for an enjoyable sushi place for lunch. Kejei explained so many things about Tokyo and Japanese culture. He showed us how to navigate the train system and gave us ideas for the remainder of our vacation. An excellent guide we highly recommend!!!

    My husband and I had a day in Singapore so we decided to take a city upscripted day tour of Singapore. Our guide was Keven. Kevin spent eight hours and 20,000 plus steps with us exploring this beautiful City. Kevin was extremely informative and easy going. He designed the day so we got an overview of all the nationalities in Singapore and how they live, eat and work in harmony. We ate, drank and enjoyed the sights. We would highly recommend Kevin and City unscripted if you have a short layover in Singapore.

    We do a lot of private tours and this was by far the best one. It wasn't the company that made the tour wonderful, it was our tour guide, Arnaud. He was so knowledgable about the sites, past/present culture, and history of Korea. He took us to a local "off the beaten path" cafe that we would have never found in a tour book or blog. In fact, they had the best matcha latte and that's saying a lot since I'm a match latte-holic. He's also fluent in French, English and Korean which made it even better. We were able to have in-depth conversations with him. His flexible and casual demeanor allowed for impromptu stops and detours along the way as we saw fit. I highly recommend the tour, specially if you are able to request Arnaud as your tour guide.
