    Maria, the Danish speaking guide, was "the best". We have been in NY before, but getting the story behind the different sights were really interesting. Furthermore Maria knows the American society and how it is to be living in a country much differrent from ours - she answered all of our questions and more. We would indeed highly recommend Maria. Best regards Mette & Henrik

    Maria Leena is definitely our recommendation from here for conveying her clearly vast knowledge of NY to both young and old in a good, easy-to-understand and fun way
