We had an amazing tour with Maurita. We started at the auburn Square farmers market and then traveled to historical stops and the best restaurants. All carefully planned and informative. Each stop was awesome and places I would never know to go otherwise. Maurita was friendly, informed and we enjoyed spending the afternoon with her. Highly recommend!!
Best off the beaten path tour ever
Dana_B, Jul 2021
I wanted in off the beaten Trail died. I was interested in cultural and ethnic communities and see New York from a New Yorkers point of view. And my guide delivered 100%. I feel like I really learned information about what it's like to live and breathe in New York City as a dweller... Not just a tourist looking at sites
Response from Host, Jul 2021

We want to make sure our experiences are tailored according to your needs and interests and that after the experience you feel more knowledgeable about the city and more confident to explore it on your own. I a, glad to hear your host delivered and gave you a true off the beaten path experience!

Ivana A, Dec 2019
Siamo un gruppo di amiche e questo era il nostro primo giorno a New York . La nostra host Paola è venuta a prenderci all 'hotel e ci ha portato in giro per tutta la mattina. Purtroppo la giornata era piovosa e ventosa, ma è stata ugualmente molto interessante. Paola ci ha aiutato a fare l'abbonamento per la metropolitana e ci ha spiegato come funziona, ci ha portato a vedere la Grand Central Station, il nuovo quartiere di Hudson Yards, con i grattacieli che si perdevano nella nebbia, il Greenich Village con i suoi locali caratteristici, Soho, Little Italy e China Town. Inoltre ci ha dato consigli e suggerimenti per i giorni successivi con grande gentilezza e disponibilità . Grazie Paola, siamo state molto bene con te!
Response from Host, Dec 2019
Cara Ivana, Sono proprio felice di leggere che vi siete divertite con Paola, nonostante il vento e la pioggia! Con City Unscripted siamo in 41 città sparse per tutto il mondo, pensateci la prossima volta che viaggiate! Anna Kerekes Co-fondatrice di City Unscripted
