Why take this tour?

You must be itching to explore Kyoto’s temples, gardens and scenery the city is famous for, but figuring out how to keep an entire family entertained is tough. Join one of our hosts, who will take the reins so you can enjoy your family trip. From the Kyoto Railway Museum to the Shoren-in Temple with gardens for the kids to play, your host will plan a day which reflects your family’s interests. And when tummies start rumbling, your host will show you where to slurp away on ramen - yum! Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

About operator:

Some people live in a city, some people live for the city. They are curious about where they live, and never want to stop exploring, and discovering the hidden gems that - to the uncurious mind - remain hidden. City Unscripted believes you should see the city with these people, and so we connect curious travellers with equally curious hosts. We exist to give travellers truly personal connections to cities, offering an alternative to the old, predictable world of tour guides. With a network of 1400+ hosts in 40 cities across the world, City Unscripted personally matches each guest to the right host, who creates an experience personalised just for them. This way, no two experiences are the same. The hosts are here to be the guests’ open-minded, passionate and knowledgable friend who can’t wait to show off their home. The service is trustworthy, safe and secure as each host is individually verified, who always check in with their guest before each experience to understand their needs.
