What a great service! I booked a 4-hour walking tour of downtown Paris, during my 9-hour layover. It was perfect! Dani catered my tour to the things I wanted to see - offbeat stuff, art, graffiti, good food, fun shops. I’d definitely go with him again another time!

The tour was almost turned into a disaster due to original host was unassigned and City Unscripted had no idea about it. I got new host assigned few hours before the tour. However, Pascal my new host, is amazing. Love the entire tour. Very nice way to see Paris from a local's perspective. Had a great time!

Our tour guide (Bibiana) was absolutely terrific. Friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. She met us at our hotel, and we customized the tour - went to Montmartre (a must) and Marais. We had done the Eiffel Tower, Champs Elysee and the Louvre on our own the day before. For a family of first timers this was a great way to see local neighborhoods and find the best shops and restaurants while getting a sense of the history of the area.
