Lukas is a great guide. He helped us get acclimated to traveling around the city, which made the rest of our trip easier and more enjoyable. Lukas took us to see things that were outside the main tourist area, that we definitely wouldn’t have seen without him. I highly recommend hiring him if you are visiting NYC.

Absolutely loved this activity - one of the highlights of our trip. You get to tell them your interests (e.g. ours was food, history, culture) and they match you with a local that will put together a personalised tour for you. We got to see the city through a local’s eyes and were able to avoid crowded touristy areas. Can highly recommend!

Fantastic 4 hour tour of NY neighborhoods with our guide Lukas 😀 He recommended places that would be of interest to us, and had a great knowledge of the areas we visited. He even helped us navigate the NY subway. Thanks Lukas, we had a great day and learnt a lot. Would recommend this tour 👌
