Great day with Dave from City Unscripted.
Dave wss our Hamburg, Germany guide for our full-day customized tour. What a wonderful day we had, thanks to Dave from City Unscripted. The company itself is excellent and we will use them anywhere we can, and Dave again if we return to Hamburg. The company was very easy to work with. Dave communicated with us prior to our trip and listened to what we were interested in and what we wanted to see and do. In exchange, he had suggestions and tailored our tour to make it as exciting as possible in the time we had. We saw some interesting sites and had a good lunch, but the best part of our wonderful day was all the laughs along the way. Dave from City Unscripted has an amazing sense of humor in addition to being very knowledgeable about history. You are allowed to request him.
Operator response
It’s wonderful to hear Dave made your full-day Hamburg tour so memorable — his knowledge, humor, and thoughtful planning clearly created an experience full of insights and laughter. We’re also delighted the booking process felt smooth and easy for you. Thanks for the glowing recommendation, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime!
