We would highly recommend Olga as a guide. Her communication before the tour was brilliant and she tailored it to our needs. I felt the tour was perfect and she had so much knowledge and was just a really cool person to spend some of our time with in New York. She took id round so many cool Brooklyn areas it was so special. 10/10 guide and experience.

Wenn ich wirklich anfange zu erzählen, dann hat keiner mehr Lust zu gucken ;) es würde ein kleines Buch. Wenn ihr nach NY kommt und habt nur begrenzt Zeit, dann bucht euch einen Guide genau hier. Olga, spricht toll deutsch, für die das wuchtig ist. Sie ist sehr freundlich, zugewandt und auch geduldig und anpassungsfähig. Nicht jeder Guide weicht gerne von seinen eigenen Ideen ab. Ganz anders Olga. Schon vor der Reise haben wir uns intensiv besprochen und sehr gut verstanden. Sie ist ein toller Mensch. Bei uns lief einiges schief bei der Anreise, unser Gepäck ist in London geblieben. Wir waren gestresst und etwas sehr enttäuscht. Olga hat das alles wieder wett gemacht. Sie ist auf jeden von uns, 3 Generationen immerhin 70, 50, 22, individuell eingegangen. Auch im Anschluss, also nach unserer gemeinsamen Zeit, wurde Sie nicht müde uns weiterhin rege Tipps und Ideen für den nächsten Tag zu schicken. Sie kannte uns nun ja gut und suchte für jeden noch tolle Sachen raus. Auch war sie besorgt und bemüht uns mit unserem verloren gegangen Gepäck zu helfen und beizustehen. DANKE Olga, bleib, wie du bist, du bist fantastisch. Lernt NY mit Olga kennen oder vielleicht lernt Olga kennen und seht noch nebenbei etwas von NY. If I really start telling the story, then no one will want to watch anymore ;) it would be a small book. If you're coming to NY and have limited time, book a guide right here. Olga, speaks great German, for whom this is powerful. She is very friendly, approachable and also patient and adaptable. Not every guide likes to deviate from his own ideas. Completely different Olga. We discussed each other intensively before the trip and understood each other very well. She is a great person. Something went wrong when we arrived and our luggage stayed in London. We were stressed and somewhat very disappointed. Olga made up for it all. She addressed each of us, 3 generations 70, 50, 22, individually. Even after our time together, she never tired of sending us lively tips and ideas for the next day. She knew us well and picked out great things for everyone. She was also concerned and tried to help and assist us with our lost luggage. THANK YOU Olga, stay as you are, you are fantastic. Get to know NY with Olga or maybe get to know Olga and see something of NY at the same time.

Denise made a tour that was interesting for the 3 generations. We got a good explanation how to use the subway so we knew how to use it ourselfs. As she said herself she is not so good in dates and numbers( of historical things), but that was no issue for us.

We spent a full day with Jason P. in New York City and it was the highlight of our trip!! He was super knowledgeable about the city and very flexible with what we did. Travelled with my 21 year old daughter and he made us feel very safe and comfortable and explained everything we were seeing as we went along. We learned and saw so much in one day and went at a pace that was perfect for us. Great experience from start to finish and would recommend to anyone wanting to really explore a new city
