City Unscripted See and do things not possible on your own, with a local host as a knowledgeable friend to guide you

City Unscripted is a personalized travel service that connects you with hosts who live in a city. We pride ourselves on our highly personalized nature and we make sure that travelers are matched with a host with similar needs. We do this through getting to know all of our hosts personally and understanding them fully – not just what they do and what they know but what they are like as people.

In these markets, time slows down. Locals banter, fishmongers shout, and the same family has run the same stall for 50 years.

Skip the guidebook, let a local host walk you through the flavors, stories, and rhythm of real Sicilian street life.

Only one day in Pisa? Let’s make it unforgettable and not just about the Leaning Tower.
Sure, we’ll catch that iconic tilt (before the crowds roll in), but the real magic? It’s in the quiet streets, riverside strolls, and a long lunch where your host orders how locals do.
- Handmade pasta outside the tourist zone
-Hidden murals and ancient churches
- A café you’d never find without a local by your side
Pisa is full of surprises if you know where to look.
