- Abdullah N0 contributionsHighly recommendMy guide, Mr Mark, was friendly and knowledgeable. Mark gave me a lot of recommendations and insights. There was no set itinerary, and I could customise the tour as I wanted on the spot. Mark was unbelievably knowledgeable. I couldn't manage to baffle him with any question. Mark was even down for an unplanned hiking trip I wanted to do. Highly recommend.Written October 25, 2024
- TO_180 contributionsA Great Guide with Fantastic Local Knowledge of HKWe were short on time in Hong Kong and wanted to get the most of the few hours we had available. We booked the tour on the way to the airport in Tokyo and before we left Japan we already had an outline plan, as City Unscripted and Pinky (our guide) were very responsive. Everything went according to plan and we covered much more ground in HK that anyone in our group thought possible. This was all down to Pinky and her schedule. She was also able to adapt it slightly to accommodate things our niece really wanted to do and see (art, a rabbit store, some shopping, etc.). Pinky provided lots of historical information, the background to the various sites and sounds of HK as we walked thru' the streets and found the best balance of walking, use of the MTR, and the Star Ferries. Finally, she provided a very valuable view of Uber versus the local taxis (to get to The Peak afterwards) and took us to the Uber drop off / pick up point in Mong Kok. Overall, a great experience and one which we would all highly recommend.Written October 24, 2024

- Divya J0 contributionsHans is an excellent HK tour guideOur half-day tour with Hans was excellent! His knowledge of the local community and HK’s history - coupled with his sense of humour - made it a very interesting experience for us! We loved hanging out with him… would definitely recommend him!Written October 16, 2024
- shadowandabreeze0 contributionsDo this tour!!Our tour with Alfred was amazing! He was able to show us so much. His ability to get us around long lines for the tram and other sites saved us hours of waiting in lines. It was a great first tour of Hong Kong. A huge bonus for us was showing us how to use mass transit, suggestions for sites to see on our own and he left us at a great Dim Sum place to finish out our day. I could not ask for a better tour.Written October 6, 2024

Christy tailored the tour for us as we were fortunate enough to be the only people on the tour.

The guide spent an inordinate amount of time on his phone attending to other business during our tour, which was not appropriate given the price of our private personalized walking tour. Several times, we were not able to ask questions because he was on another call.
Otherwise, he was pleasant and engaged.

Hi Ronald,
I completely understand your frustration with having a host who frequently uses his phone during the experience, and I apologize for that. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will certainly address this issue with our host team to ensure a more focused and attentive experience for our guests in the future. We'd be delighted to have the opportunity to create a more fulfilling experience for you next time.
Warm regards,
Ruslan and the City Unscripted Team.

Victor is a superb guide, friendly knowledgeable and with an excellent command of the English language. He tailored our tour to suit our interests and energy levels and went out of his way to ensure we had a brilliant day. As our first trip to Hong Kong it was an ideal way to gain our bearings and have an insight into the transport system, food and culture. Victor’s knowledge of his country’s history, together with his local knowledge made this a fascinating day. Thank you Victor

Because of the unrest in Hong Kong we were not sure what we would find. But, the day we spent with Lulu exceeded our expectations. We not only had an opportunity to see much of the city, but learned a lot about the culture (past and present) in the city. Our host, Lulu, was fantastic. This was a great way to move around the city, using several different means of public transportation, including lots of walking. My wife and I would highly recommend both City Unscripted and Lulu.

I was looking for personalised guided tours in Hong Kong. I was really struggling to find a company/guide I was happy with and could speak to over the phone.
I found City Unscripted, they were just the best organisers and understood what I was looking for. They made the booking (very efficient) and allocated Victor as the host.
Victor was just the best guide, he was attentive, really really knew his stuff and it was truly amazing, We covered quite a lot and he took to an observation deck before putting on the star ferry back to the hotel. The observation desk is a hidden gem.
He didn't leave anything to chance, he planned the day so well and connected a few days before to see if were ok with it.
City Unscripted - thank you. Victor an even bigger thank you.

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our 6 hour tour with our delightful guide Lulu from City Unscripted. Lulu is young and enthusiastic, speaks fluent English and was very friendly and easy going. We were very pleased to leave the planning of the itinerary up to Lulu and she organised our time perfectly with a great mix of history, tourist spots, and sampling of food at places only frequented by locals. Not only did Lulu do a great job of showing us her city but she went above and beyond to provide us with helpful information and advice (via emails and phone calls) for restaurant recommendations and how best to avoid trouble spots with protesters and police during the unfortunate time of unrest in HK. Thanks to Lulu, our time in HK was most enjoyable and without incident. Thank you City Unscripted for facilitating a great tour with a great guide.

We had a great day with Nik from City Unscripted
We were met on time, with a super convenient hotel pick up. The tour was completely personalized to what we wanted. Saw a chinese temple, incredible Zen gardens and nunnery including a fascinating exhibition on traditional pagoda wood architecture, waterfront promenade, avenue of stars, star ferry, old police and prison compound and so much more.
Learnt a lot about Hong Kongs history and heritage, as well as an eyeopener as to getting around the city using the subway and ate at a local eatery with delicious noodle soup, which we would never have found on our own.
Highly recommend for travelers not scared of walking; and looking for an authentic experience.

As we would be staying in Kowloon, can the assigned guide meet us there to start our tour or is the City Hall the only place to meet up?
