Lovely guide guide but not worth it.

Rebecca_M, Dec 2024

It was very expensive for what it was. Our guide was lovely but it was not worth the price. I would not recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

We’d love the chance to connect you with a more tailored experience in the future that better matches your expectations. Warm regards, Ruslan and the City Unscripted team.

Notify private tour we were running late

Barbara_K, Jun 2024

So disappointing. Lots of trouble with cabs. We texted the company to let them know we were running late. Got to the meeting point. No guide. Waited 20 minutes and left on our own.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Hello Janet and Barbara, I understand your frustration, especially considering the mix-up with the meeting place, despite the reminder we sent beforehand. Your feedback is valuable, and we're committed to improving our procedures to prevent such issues in the future. We hope for another opportunity to provide you with a great experience. Warm regards, Ruslan and the City Unscripted Team

Be prepared to walk 10,000 steps!

Mick was very engaging and entertaining while being full of knowledge about Monarchal and British History. We nearly had a King Charles sighting and Mick was nimble enough to ad lib for the occasion and achieve the tour objectives. Excellent for teens. Highly recommend for a family with older children.

Maggie was knowledgeable and engaging, excellent!

Gerald_H, May 2023

Very thorough and thoughtful tour of Westminster. Particularly enjoyed the depth of Maggie’s historical knowledge including the monarchy, political, social norms and architecture. Nicely paced and very engaging. She politely responded to all of our dumb questions. Well done, Maggie!

Great experience!

virginia_b, Dec 2022

Ana Maria was top notch! Very knowledgeable and took the time to find things in my interest areas. She also showed me how to navigate the tube which was priceless! It made my whole trip go more smoothly. I really had a great time and appreciate all she did to make the day fun!

Need to do this again!

Kristy_C, Jun 2022

Ana Maria did an excellent job putting together my tour. She had to be adaptable because my flight ended up getting me into London later than expected. We got to see the changing of the guard near the palace, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and many other sites. She also was very kind in explaining the subway. Such a joy! I really had a great experience.

Walking Tour of London Hogjlights

Dave_C, Sept 2019

Overall the tour was fine..what made it difficult was that the guide had a very strong Spanish accent which made it very difficult to communicate and have conversation. Her knowledge of the areas we covered were fine as well..unlike other guides from Viator though she didn’t have the depth of historical context that makes theses types of tours special

Sean-Taylor Williams was my host. He...

psparks626, Jul 2017

Sean-Taylor Williams was my host. He showed me the city of London while also providing me with the history and interesting facts about each location. In one day, we thoroughly explored Brixton, Soho, Camden and other places. see pictures After my tour with Sean-Taylor, I was able to effectively navigate the Underground to go anywhere I needed to go in London. Sean-Taylor is extremely personable and knowledgeable. I am so glad I started my trip with Sean-Taylor, working with Sean-Taylor set the precedent for an outstanding experience in London. Whenever I travel to a new place I will use CityUnscipted to book a tour with a Local to start my trip.
