Reviews of Our New York Experiences

Olga did a great job and went the extra mile helping us get the ferry back over to Manhattan

Rebecca

Olga was amazing! She customized the tour to exactly+more than what we’d hoped for. She had such passion in her details of history and local art, plus knowledge of current hot spots, etc. she followed up with so many good links and details that give us more than we could have hoped for.

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.

Ed was very communicative from the beginning, trying to customize our tour even though we did not really know what we wanted to see. He met us at Grand Central and guided us on the subway and he did a great job leading us through and included a stop at a great bakery in Williamsburg. He also made sure that we got back to where we needed to be. My husband and I really enjoyed our afternoon and felt that we were meeting with an old friend. Would definitely recommend Ed as a guide, as a native New Yorker, you can tell really loves his city!! Thanks Ed

Dalit was an excellent guide for Copenhagen. She is very knowledgeable, friendly and quite passionate about Copenhagen and showed us a few ‘hidden gems’ away from other tourists. She was always full of interesting facts and fascinating stories which made the city come alive. She let us have a cake tasting when we visited the food market! We extended our tour with her in order to spend more time with her. The tour was one of the highlights of our trip and we would highly recommend her.

Jessica

Nico was terrific. Showed us all the highlights we were interested in. Was very knowledgeable and accommodating of our groups needs. Nico was kind and made the information engaging and fun. Would highly recommend this tour and Nico.

Terri

Jill was a fantastic tour guide! She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk with. We all really enjoyed getting to know her and learning all about Paris from an insider. I highly recommend her!
