Donna_P, Sep 2026
Highly recommended
Our tour guide, Sally, and our driver, Godfrey were excellent. Our tour was good despite a hard rainfall. Because of the rain we could not explore outside the bus as much as I had hoped but we were given every opportunity to get the best views of the monuments. Sally gave wonderful insights and advice for photos. I was concerned about finding a cab back to our hotel but they took care of that too by leaving us out where we could safely call for an uber. I highly recommend this tour and hope you have better weather.

Pam did an amazing job giving me a tour today and I’m glad I chose Unscripted Tours for this experience. The location for the meet-up was very presentable and welcoming. Pam explained things very clearly and had a good understanding of the documents being presented. I highly recommend this tour for tourists in the city.
