Great resource to get a good tour of the city
Christopher_B, Apr 2024
Edward made the sequencing of events a smooth process and was able to navigate our specific requests in a timely manner that allowed us to keep our young children engaged and happy.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that Edward provided a smooth and engaging tour experience for you and your family. If you ever return for more adventures, we'd love to host you again!
Great service- well worth the money.
Jeanna_C, Apr 2024
I greatly enjoyed this service- I gave a four instead of a five only because the host that I had been speaking with was changed on me at the last minute and I was a little uncomfortable with that and was not completely happy with it. However, our new hostess did an excellent job and before our day was over I felt like I had made a new friend. I just did not like the change being made at the last minute.
Personalized 5 hour Manhattan walking tour
Shane_S, Dec 2023
We loved the personalized nature of the tour. It was our first time to New York and our guide, Ed, made our tour intimate and tailored it to our day. He actually changed our itinerary in the fly because he wanted us to experience certain unique places that we would not have seen on any other tour.
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Hi Shane, thanks so much for your kind words. We're overjoyed to hear you had such an outstanding experience with Ed. Can't wait to welcome you back for another adventure!
Wonderful New York Experience
Sheila_O, Dec 2023
Edward planned a fantastic day for us with so many excellent things to see! His knowledge of the history and ease of getting us from place to place was amazing. Such a great day!
Response from Host, Dec 2023
Hi Sheila, Your positive review is incredibly valuable to us and Edward. Thank you sincerely!
Bill was a fabulous tour...
Dgf73169, Dec 2023
Bill was a fabulous tour guide for our eight hour visit to New York. He took us all around and we felt very safe and comfortable in our surroundings. We would never have been able to have seen all of the landmarks and history without him and his knowledge.
Great tour for a quick stop in the city!
Nicole_F, Nov 2023
Bill was very knowledgeable! We had an excellent walking tour through Time Square, Rockefeller Center and Central Park. We learned so much about the history of the city and its beautiful architecture. Would highly recommend this tour if you only have a short time in the city.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Hi Nicole, thanks so much for your kind words. We're overjoyed to hear you had such an outstanding experience. Can't wait to welcome you back for another adventure!
The guide that we had did...
Speranta_I, Nov 2023
The guide that we had did not provide any insight into the history of the buildings that we saw and also she was not able to show us any hidden gems of NY as I was expecting. We would have been able to walk by ourselves without paying anything. It was the worst experience from all viator experiences up to now.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Hello curious traveler, Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we apologize for any disappointment you experienced. Your feedback is invaluable, and it's propelling us to actively enhance our tours for a more enriching and fulfilling experience and we're dedicated to reviewing and improving our offerings. We would love another opportunity to provide you with a more satisfying experience in the future. Warm regards, Ruslan and the City Unscripted Team.
New York City from a true local
catherine_f, Sep 2023
It’s our first time here from California and had one Day to experience this enormous city. We definitely like personal tours and when we found out it could be completely personalized we were in! Riding subways, experiencing the World Trade Center memorial, walking through greenwich Village, eating local food. And he was completely working at our pace. It was perfect. All in three hours!!!! Thanks again
New York Guided Tour
Erlinda_T, Aug 2023
Great experience with Mei! She personalized our tour with places we wanted to visit and see. Ate in Chinatown at amazing 456. Food was delish and affordable. Rode the ferry and subway. Wouldn’t have know how to without a guide. Highly recommend getting a guide if you want to see New York and have a great experience get yourself a guide!
Amazing Tour!
RolandMelanie_V, Jul 2023
This was an absolutely amazing tour. Kamilia was our tour guide and she was very knowledgeable and made our trip very interesting. I would definitely recommend her as your tour guide.
Easy enjoyable day in NY city
NATASHA_C, May 2023
We had an excellent day. Maurita helped us see a lot including multiple things we weren’t expecting but also enjoyed . She also helped with directions and timing, between other activities we planned for the afternoon and evening. Ensuring we understood directions and could make the engagements. We 100% would recommend a fun comfortable tour in NY with Maurita:-)
Great Tour
