Hey there! I'm Olga, your friendly neighborhood host in the heart of the Big Apple. What captivates me most about NYC is its creative spirit and the variety of flavors in the food scene. As an explorer at heart, I thrive on discovering hidden gems across neighborhoods like Tribeca, Midtown, SoHo, Chelsea, and more! You'll often find me at the best bakeries, pastry shops, and specialty coffee spots, savoring every delightful bite and sip. Sharing my passion for the city's culinary delights is a true passion of mine! As an art enthusiast, I love highlighting public and street art during my leisurely walks. New York's streets are a canvas of creativity, and I'm here to guide you through the city's artistic soul. Join me on a journey through the eclectic streets of the Big Apple. Let's make your New York experience not just memorable but downright unforgettable!

My reviews

Our tour guide, Olga, took us on a fun, well-paced, historical and scenic tour of Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo neighborhoods. So much to see! Olga was knowledgeable, friendly and culturally aware of what makes Brooklyn so special. We highly recommend her to other looking to explore Brooklyn. I want to book a return trip to spend more time in Brooklyn.

This was a girls trip. Myself, my 9 year old daughter, her best friend and her mom. All first timers, except me, and they all fell in love with NYC. And for me who’s been there many times, saw a whole new side to the city and made me love it even more. Our little girls said they would never forget Olga.

We opted for the 8 hour tour and it was worth every penny. I sent our guide my desired itinerary with all of the things we’d like to see. Olga made it happen! She was so professional and very personable. She took us to local spots that were not packed with tourists, which we loved. We walked over 11 miles, so be prepared to walk a lot if you have several things you’d like to see. Olga was so well versed with directions in the city, history, art, and all of the buildings we came across. She also curated the tour to match our values and lifestyle. We appreciated her pointing out Catholic Churches along the way and she even took us into the Trump tower-which was totally cool! 11/10 recommend Olga if you want a flawless experience.

Olga was a dream of a tour guide. From the second we got linked with her via email she started emailing with ideas and itinerary items. We travelled with 2 small kids (8/10 yo) and she was patient with them needing breaks from walking. She easily accommodated their food requests. When crossing the street she always made sure they were safe. My kids instantly felt comfortable with her. She not only educated my husband and I on the city but even tailored what she said for the kids to understand. She was patient and kind. We would’ve never have done everything we did/saw in 1 day had we done it alone. She took us to great places that locals use. She was amazing and highly recommend her! If you’re on the fence about it- just do it!
