New York - Day Trip - Hi
We had a private tour with Jason and spent the day exploring New York. We had such a great day, when we booked New York we was worried about getting around the City and judging the timings. Jason was brilliant, planned the day for us, making sure we got see the sights and recommended food venues down to our taste.
Totally recommend
Thanks

Absolutely enjoyable, tailor-made Manhattan experience! - 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!

Walking tour of Brooklyn with Olga - We had a great time on a private walking tour of Brooklyn with Olga. Olga was prompt, very friendly and knowledgeable about the area of our tour. Olga also showed us a great way to get around via water taxi and helped us navigate the schedule and ticketing. She gave my wife and I a great tour and a memorable experience.

Out in the town with a friend. - It was really enjoyable to tour the city with Olga. She made us feel like a visiting friend and unlike one of those prepackaged tours we got to experience plenty of areas of the city you do not typically visit.

An Unforgettable NY Tour with Olga - My wife and I took our NY tour with Olga. She was exceptional in every respect, prompt, well prepared, and she was very in tune with what we wanted to see so we felt the experience was very tailored to us. She was working the entire time, sending me links that she thought we could use for the rest of your trip and she even was thoughtful enough to give us a little gift at the end of the tour. I would highly recommend Olga for anyone wanting an extraordinary experience

A perfect day in NYC - I had an amazing day with Olga in New York City! From the start to the end - my day was just fantastic! Olga is so knowledgable, she knows the city and hidden gems so well, she knows the history and arts - everything that I am interested in during a city trip.

A not to be underestimated advantage in NY to have someone who can visit even shortly before actual closing times - If I really start telling, then no one feels like watching ;) it would be a little book.
If you come to NY with limited time, book a guide right here.
Olga, speaks great German, for whom this is massive. She is very friendly, devoted and also patient and adaptable. Not every guide likes to deviate from their own ideas. Very different Olga. Even before the trip we talked intensively and understood each other very well. She's a great person. With us things went wrong on arrival, our luggage has remained in London. We were stressed and a bit very disappointed. Olga made up for it all. She addressed each of us, three 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. Also she was worried and tried to help us with our lost luggage and to assist us. 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 on the side.

New York City Walking Tour - 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

Great off the beaten track day in NYC - We had a full day of guiding with Mei in NYC. Been to Manhattan a lot and we wanted to see a different side of New York. She met us in Harlem and from there took us in her car to Fort Tyron then to Williamsburg. All in all very good.
