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!
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!

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!
