Unique Tour visits amazing places! - Luca was amazing! He showed me really cool ancient Roman sites that other tours don't visit! He also took me to a very beautiful island with an old church and taught me some local WW2 history. We discussed how these histories play into modern Italy. I had a fantastic time and we even stopped for a 5 minute coffee break! Luca gave me some great advice on local restaurants and invited me to live music! Overall very friendly and conversational. I wasn't feeling well so we walked slow and made frequent stops. It felt like I was walking around Rome with a friend.

Memorable Rome Night Tour - This private evening tour of Rome was well worth it. Everything was easy from the start, and the whole experience felt smooth and stress-free. Walking through Rome at night was the highlight. The Christmas lights and nearby market gave the city a special feel, and stopping for dinner, pastries, and hot chocolate made the evening even better. It never felt rushed and was a great way to take in the city. Luca, our guide, was excellent. He knew the history inside and out and explained things in a way that was interesting and easy to follow. You could tell he really enjoys sharing Rome and its history. Rome has been on my bucket list for a long time. We went in not knowing exactly what to expect and came away very happy with the experience. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxed, personal way to experience the city.

The best time ever! - I 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!! - Had 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 - This 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.
