We were absolutely thrilled! Oli showed us "everything" in our opinion and a lot more than what to see from the city during a visit to New York. A guided city tour tailored to our needs left nothing to be desired. In addition to the many sights, we could see many high lights that you would not otherwise see. A great plus were also the perfect photos we got from Oli. Conclusion: ANYTIME WE COME TO NEW YORK Thank you Oli!!!!
We spent a week in New York in October – my dream since Sex and the City. We were three adults and a teenager. Olli’s Daytours was recommended to me by a client, and we booked a tour with Géraldine. What can I say? It was worth every penny! Géraldine took us to Chelsea and showed us different locations – even the famous entrance of my supposed heroine Carrie 🥹. She took us to beautifully decorated Halloween houses, old market halls and many other special places. She knew how to tell exciting and interesting stories about everything – you could immediately tell how much she loved this city. We drank a beer together in Washington Square Park, strolled through Greenwich Village, walked through SoHo with its great houses and boutiques and then drove to Brooklyn, through DUMBO, and then walked back across the Brooklyn Bridge. There really was something for all of us. After more than 20,000 steps – and with an equally happy 14-year-old – everyone was thrilled in the end. We thank this vibrant city and especially Géraldine from the heart for this wonderful time ❤️ I would always spend another day or more with Géraldine in New York. She is a lively, very entertaining and pleasant guide, extremely interested and with a tremendous knowledge of the city. It's not a given that you immediately feel so comfortable with a stranger. ❤️❤️❤️
We were effectively 5 days in New York last week. On the first day I gave my husband a 6 hour tour with Dani. Already in advance, the contact was very nice and she already provided me with left to the best breakfast options near our hotel and with other tips. But to experience Dani live is still something like it. Not a question she didn't know the answer to, whether it was about buildings , how do New Yorkers live , history , hotspots or restaurants. From her pocket she conjured up another camera with which she took great photos of us , a book with the individual areas in NY etc . It seemed to me that she had the bag of Harry Potter where there’s endless stuff in it 🤣 Even after the tour she was there for us all these days . Every question was answered promptly via WhatsApp. This service is unique and in my view not a given. She gave us so many tips and tricks for the coming days that we are grateful for. As she said so beautifully : “You can never deal with NY” and that’s how I feel about it . I will come back and then definitely do a tour with Dani again. It was AMAZING 🤩
Our tour with Oli through NYC in September was great. Individually matched to our wishes, very entertaining and informative. It's as good as it gets. Highly recommended !!!
The tour was great. We've seen a lot. Communication in advance was also great. Everything was well organized. We can recommend the tour!
There were five of us on the road with Dani and it was just great, Detailed explanations, lots of interesting facts, top prepared, great tour. Thank you Dani.
I was very lucky to take part in an OliDayTours tour of New York with my two sons, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! The tour was superbly organized and offered a perfect mix of history, culture and Insider tips. Our guide Oli was extremely competent, friendly and passionate, which made the tour even more lively. I found the insights into the famous and diverse sights particularly impressive. It was fascinating to hear the stories behind the well-known places and discover the details that are usually overlooked as a tourist. At the same time, lesser-known corners were also shown, such as hidden cafes, small art galleries and charming neighborhoods, such as Williamsburg or Brooklyn, which reflect the unique charm and diversity of New York. The tour was great for us and wishes we expressed before were perfectly incorporated into the tour. We had enough time to take photos, ask questions and soak up the atmosphere. I particularly liked that Oli shared personal anecdotes and recommendations for restaurants and activities in the city – so the tour almost felt like a walk together with a friend. The duration of the tour was just right for us and I feel like I got to know New York in an authentic and personal way. I can recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover New York from a real perspective – whether it’s the first time or as a repeat offender. It was a great opportunity to experience the city from a new perspective with a lot of background knowledge and have a lot of fun!
Well, what can you write? Gèraldine accompanied us beautifully during the day. A charming woman, dedicated with high knowledge and joy to show us your city! We're still excited about her, the city just about everything. Be sure to book Gèraldine! Elvi and Holger in March 2025
In fact, one of the most beautiful days of our New York stay. The tours are individually designed and tailored to the wishes and needs. I can only recommend this guided tour to every New York visitor who really wants to get to know New York, especially at the beginning of the stay, as you are still given so many beautiful opportunities on the way, which you can then take privately. (Attractions, restaurants and other to-dos, as well as Do's and Dont's). Thank you @Geraldine for this great, impressive and also fun day. Your Grinches
We had the pleasure to experience an unforgettable tour of New York with Oli! Oli introduced us (three people) to the city in a way we never expected. We were particularly impressed by his unique insight into Grand Central Station, but also by the discovery of hidden corners and very special perspectives of New York that would otherwise have escaped us. With his cool, warm and friendly manner, he made us feel like we had been friends for a long time. The tour was very individual, according to our wishes, and thanks to the small group – almost like a private tour – we could enjoy everything in peace. Oli also took cool photos all the time, but we also had the opportunity to take our own souvenir photos at any time. Everything was perfectly matched to us! Even the organization in advance was super straightforward – the booking and communication via WhatsApp were fast and smooth, Oli always responded promptly to our questions. Oli is a really great guide and we thank him warmly for the great experience and fantastic guidance. Such a tour can only be recommended! Keep it up, Oli – you’re a great guy!
