Reviews of Our New York Experiences

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.

I booked the tour for my 60th birthday and was absolutely amazed by the amount of professionalism, flexibility, adaptability, knowledge and cheerfulness of my tour guide, Olga! What an amazing person! Prior to the tour I was sent a questionnaire where I was asked to explain my desired touring experience, from special interests, to specific places to visit, to specific information I would like to hear, to the desired pace of our walk! Absolute professionalism on behalf of the organizers! Olga was a stunning tour guide, she contacted me in advance to arrange our meeting point (she agreed to pick me up at my hotel!) and to confirm my specific interests for the tour. On the day of the tour she had everything perfectly planned, the route, the trivia, the information, she even came prepared with alternatives in case I was tired from long walks or bored with a specific destination- an absolute professional! Olga is an aficionado foodie and she gave me lots of tips on how to get the best pizza, Italian delicacies, Chinese dim-sum or dumpling soup, and even treated me to a coffee, a slice of pizza and an authentic cannoli from the best place to buy Italian pastries, fresh pasta and groceries. An absolutely delightful climax to an unforgettable four-hour walking tour of one of Manhattan’s most historic districts. Highly recommended!
