How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Explore one of London's coolest neighborhoods, and see why Shoreditch is known as one of the city's hippest (or most hipster) parts. Your host will open your eyes to the neighborhood's unique character as you stroll through streets plastered with murals and paste-ups, including street art by Banksy - spot them if you can.
Or there's Inivia - the Institute of International Visual Arts, which showcases the works of British artists of Black and Asian descent, offering an alternative narrative to London's mainstream art scene. Rifle through vintage stores to your heart's content, graze your way through the quirky street food markets, and if you're in dire need of a craft beer or cocktail, you've come to the right place!

We had a fantastic tour with our delightful tour guide, Tom. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared with us many incredible details about the city we toured (Shoreditch). Tom was fun, kind, and had a great sense of humor. He did a great job of including the sites and activities we wanted from our tour. This is our 3rd tour with CityUnscripted (Paris, Tokyo, and now London). Every tour guide has been outstanding and left a huge impression on our experience of the area we visited. We look forward to our next destination and CityUnscripted tour! We wouldn't want to visit a town with it. Thank you, Tom/CU team!

Tom war ein exzellenter Guide mit dem es riesig Spaß gemacht hat abseits der normalen Wege sich beeindruckende Graffitos anzusehen. Mal wirklich was anderes. Tom was an excellent guide who made it a lot of fun to look at impressive graffiti off the beaten track. Something really different.

We were fortunate in many ways. No rain, beautiful weather and it was early so the streets were not crowded. But what made our tour unforgettable was our guide Crow. From the moment we met him in the hotel lobby he was interesting, informed and insightful. He regaled us with tales from both past and present - he was an absolute delight to be around. The kind of person we would love to meet again for a drink or a tour of a music venue or an art gallery. Travel is in many ways the elixir of life and when you meet someone who guides you to make your visit that much more memorable you know you hit the jackpot. We did.
