5.00I was paired with Ludovica who gave me a once in a lifetime experience. I had a 10 hour layover in Rome and wanted to explore the city through a cultural lens of a local native. Ludo felt like an old friend. She was warm and friendly. I honestly was so sad leaving her. She was so knowledgeable, taught me some Italian,and even showed me the hidden gemz. I definitely will be back and would definitely hire her again.
THE BEST OF THE BEST! Nadia is Outstanding!!

5.00Had the most exceptional tour with Nadia, of City Unscripted. I've grown to love this tour company. It's like hiring 'a-professional-best-friend' for a day. And oh man, I got so lucky! My guide Nadia was so kind and friendly. Our time was short and she asked me: "How much do you want to see?" and "How fast do you want to walk?" I said: "Everything and fast!" She literally grabbed me by the wrist and marched me around Rome, for eight hours! -- Two things come to mind, about why I love City Unscripted so much: 1) They facilitate a PERSONAL HUMAN CONNECTION, days before your tour; beginning with a detailed questionnaire about your wishes and interests. City Unscripted's vetting of the guides is outstanding! Only the best of the best. (I have used City Unscripted in five cities over seven years.) 2) THE CONFIDENCE the guides instill in you, so you feel certain of your bearings and to continue exploring, as they leave you alone. I struggle with anxiety, so having a kind person give you the personal certainty that you can 'get lost in the city' and find your way back - is literally one of the greatest gifts we can receive in this lifetime... Through traveling the world and meeting new friends! Thank you NADIA and City Unscripted.
The first taste of Rome tour for two

5.00This was our first ever tour of Rome. We wanted to get the first taste of the beautiful city by taking an individual tour for just the two of us. Luca understood our goal perfectly and took us on a 2 hour’s guided walk. Not only we were able to see some of the major sights like Navona, Trevi, the Pantheon and Spanish square but also feel of the vibe of the city. Luca sprinkled it with some anecdotes and urban legends, which was really fun. We had a nice feeling that the tour was created just for us. We learned a lot but it wasn’t overwhelming. In addition I would like to thank Luca and Shiva for figuring out the logistics of getting to the meeting point for us. We did not know how to navigate the public transportation yet since it was our first day in Italy. There was also a rally in the area and many streets were blocked. Luca was on top of it and led us to the bus stop and the meeting point on WhatsApp. Good job, Luca and Shiva! Highly recommend.
We had a great...

5.00We did a tour of several major sights in Rome with our guide Luca. He was tremendous, very knowledgeable and friendly. He led us on a leisurely tour throughout the city for about three hours including a stop for gelato. We ended the tour by having wine and cheeses in a cute trattoria. It was perfect introduction to the city! I highly recommend Luca. So great!!
Great Tour with a Great Guide

5.00There were a host of important and interesting sites that you don’t get from a guide book that we were lucky enough to experience. And books are not so good with answering questions. 😀 Indira, our guide, provided a very customized tour. Before we left the US we discussed what was of interest to us and then throughout the tour she continued to offer alternatives based on our interests. She was very knowledgeable about the history of Rome and the sites we were seeing. I feel like we really saw some of Rome’s hidden gems thanks to her. Highly recommend the tour!
