Highly recommended - We spent 4 hours with Sven in New York - and it was mega ! He was super prepared and brought us very close to NY. No wish was unfulfilled and Sven did a great inside trip with us, which we would certainly not have been able to do on our own during this time ! ....so highly recommended !!

Great sightseeing tour with Bianca - Bianca had coordinated our wishes and ideas with us in advance and fully integrated them into the tour planning. We had a great time with Bianca and in addition to many New York impressions also received plenty of tips for our further vacation. Even after our tour she was ready to help us with any questions. Always happy ! šŸ‘šŸ½šŸ˜€ We had chosen this tour quite deliberately as we wanted to see NewYork away from the big tourist crowds and were not disappointed

Like having a friend in New York! - It was a great experience having Victor as my tour guide. I had some places to visit, and being in the company of a local was the best choice to get the most of my time in New York. I strongly recommend this tour!

Seeing New York with different eyes... - My tour guide Bianca contacted me about 2 weeks before the trip to plan the tour with me. Since I was already in New York for the 4th time I wanted to do a tour of Brooklyn. We then went to Dumbo, Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Long Island. I saw a lot of things you don’t see as a ā€œnormalā€ tourist and had a top guide for this tour!! Bianca responded to all my wishes and I had a day with a friend in and out of New York. Thanks Bianca :) I can only recommend such a tour.

Lokafy - Ā  Were traveling with Sedef in New York. Very nice and personable in her person, perfect in the German language. Instead of the typical sights, we have in 7 hours shown and given places, places, information that you as a tourist do not necessarily consider...the typical sights we have discovered alone in the next few days. Such a private tour is really worthwhile and very helpful for the next few days alone... Like being out with a friend...highly recommended! Much better than a typical tour guide who only shows and tells history and typical sights...there are guides to read for that. The Lokafy gives information that cannot be read in books. Just top!!!
