Sandro was an excellent tour guide. His points of interest choices were perfect and he was very personable.

Eleanor_L

We were all set to have the tour and my elderly mother became ill. I sent a message to the guide asking if we could possibly do the tour within the following 2 days. She wrote back stating she was sorry that we would not be able to have our tour and she would let the office know. Without asking if the rest of the group would still like to go she cancelled everything. So we were out $450+ without any further conversation. Most disappointing. Please remind your guides that they need to ask more questions before just making assumptions that cost people money and the experience.

Naomi was a wonderful guide to the city, showing us major and out-of-the-way sites that we would never have found on her own. She tailored our trip for us, so we really got to see what we wanted to!

Neenah_T

We had an incredible experience and were able to see so much of London in just four hours. Becky, our guide, was amazing and so knowledgeable. She was personable and shared so much information. I would highly recommend

ADaniels99

We had an absolutely amazing time with Naomi as our guide. Naomi was super responsive to requests and ideas even before we left the USA and the day of the tour was very flexible. We had super cold winds and one very tired kid and she made great suggestions for keeping warm in a fun manner and helping keep the kids entertained!! I was very pleased with advice for when we go to Paris too!!

danigoi

it was truly a wonderful experience. Valentina, our guide, is very prepared, has studied for us a path that has allowed us to quickly see all the main monuments of London, she has been able to explain history and curiosities of each place.

Kastellorizofriend

The tour was nice but our guide did not know a lot of history of the area. We have had guides in the past tell us the history of the city and the buildings. But our guide simply pointed out the buildings and their names.

We had been to London before & had seen the "major" sights that are not hard to find, such as London Tower, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's, Kensington Palace etc (& for which you usually need to stand in a queue to get in). Now we like to rent flats in the different areas of London, like Notting Hill, or Chiswick, or Battersea in order to explore "off the beaten path" a bit. A City Unscripted guide is perfect for this. They can suggest a great itinerary but will also take you wherever you'd like to go as well. They'll help you navigate the tube, the bus system etc (which is invaluable for learning how to get around London in a short time period), they can take you places & to see sights that as a tourist on your own you would never find. They know the spots where you can get great photographs (& of course can help take them so you don't even need to drag along a selfie stick). Our guide Becky was very personable & knowledgeable about the area. It's a great, efficient way to get a lot of the sights in because you don't have to waste any time navigating (or getting lost) when trying to get someplace you want to go. And it was a very reasonable price as well. Using City Unscripted was one of my smarter ideas.
