We felt ripped off but maybe we misunderstood

Yacine_A, Jul 2024

The guide was super friendly. I am here really giving a friendly feedback. First, this was quite expensive for what we got. We could have done this without a guide and could have gone around the city in a cab and wouldn't have paid as much. We trusted the tour to take us places but we kept getting asked where we wanted to go. I don't need a guide for a private tour If I had to do homework before hand.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Hello Yacine, Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad to hear you found our host friendly, but I’m sorry to hear that your day in Tokyo didn’t meet your expectations in terms of value and planning. Our team highly values your feedback, and we are actively enhancing host training to ensure our guests receive the 5* experience they deserve. We hope to have another chance to provide a more enriching experience in the future. Warm regards, Ruslan and the City Unscripted team.

Fantastic day!
