5.00We were in NY with our kids and my husband and I each took 4 hours walking tour with our guide Dani! Our experience; it was really SO great! Even the communication in advance was so straightforward and nice! Days before we already got recommendations for playgrounds, events for the kids etc.! Everything was communicated very clearly, openly and super sympathetically! On the day of the trip for both of us, everything went smoothly! Dani has responded to all our wishes and made the day very special with her great nature and all-round knowledge! Also good to know: we have been to NY before and already knew the hotspots of the city! But Dani had more than enough ideas to show us great corners of NY even outside of the usual tourism! We really couldn’t have asked for a better guide! 😊❤️ thanks also to Geraldine, who made contact with Dani and also helped us in advance with a lot of great recommendations! 😊
Mega, world class. Would award 10 stars :-)

5.00It was an indescribably great tour with Oli. You have seen so much in one day and get interesting information. We were a small group of 5 people. Oli is Mega. A real great guy and he totally goes into his job and gives you great tips for the rest of your stay. The price is perfectly fine. Anytime again when I'm back in NY. Oli, bis bald ;-)
100% Recommendation

5.00We only had 1 day in New York through our cruise and of course wanted to see as much as possible. So we booked a tour at OliDayTours in advance and didn’t regret a dime of it. We were traveling with the Dani and got a lot to see and of course also received a lot of information. There is a 100% recommendation from me
Best experience!!!!

5.00The most beautiful day in New York! Better than any helicopter sightseeing...because you get to know New York from different corners! Very funny, super informative and individual tour! Already in advance, the organization worked very reliably and uncomplicated. Before our meeting we got great tips that we could visit before, even with directions. It was all very professional and perfect! We got pictures of this great day, which was a great surprise for us, so we could just walk along relaxed. It was all around just great!!! I will recommend this to everyone who goes to NY!
5 stars are still too few.

5.00We met a bright and cheerful Oli on time at 8.30 am. Not excessive, not superficial, simply authentic and personable. We were a small group of 6 people, two groups of 3 between 19 and 62 years old. He responded wonderfully to everyone, could answer any question and showed us locations that are not in the guidebooks. And that was the plan: You can explore the famous sights yourself but seeing the spectacle behind it is even more interesting. Everyone was happy and tired. even my husband was thrilled, which is not so easy. Thank you for the great day!
NY-City - the slightly different tour 😊❤️👍

5.00Dear Dani! Thanks again for this beautiful, interesting, informative and entertaining tour of NY-City. With you we have seen places that we would not have visited - away from the tourist flows! A tour with you we can absolutely recommend. If you want to explore NY from another side, you are absolutely right and in good hands. The tour was tailored to our interests!!! On our next visit to NY we are already looking forward to another tour - there is still so much to explore. Thanks again for this beautiful and unforgettable day.
Olifaytours has exceeded all our wishes and expectations. Special thanks to Christian 👍

5.00We had an incredible day, it was the perfect tour for us. We wanted to see New York a little outside of the usual tourist hotspots and were taken to unusual and very special places. The tour information was as exciting and very interesting as the tour itself. We were also impressed by the great photos that were taken very discreetly and unnoticed. At the very end there were so many tips in written form that we can all enjoy them for a few more days. All in all, highly professional and super personable. Thank you very much!🙏🫶

5.00We went to see Brooklyn with Oli - it was such a great day!! We would book a tour with him again at any time. Oli is super funny & not only is it fun with him, but he also shows you places you wouldn't have seen or missed. 100% recommendation from us, as a young German couple who are in New York for the first time. It was also very practical for us that we did the tour on the first day - Oli gave us lots of tips for the next few days & recommended things to us - or not - so that we could make good use of the next few days. The tours are definitely worth the price! Oli takes a lot of time, answers all questions & it's anything but boring! In addition to the tour, lots of beautiful pictures were taken & a video was made... it was the best day of our entire week! Many thanks again to Oli! :)
Professional private guided tour with Oli

5.00Professional, full of fun and joie de vivre - and all of that for a whole 7 hours. There wasn't a single minute of boredom or stress. Oli planned our tour with particular ease and gave us an introduction to New York that couldn't have been more beautiful. By meeting one of his acquaintances on every other corner, we were able to experience the American way of life up close, which carried us through the rest of our vacation in a positive way. The group's conclusion: If we had known what was coming - Oli, we would have booked you for two days straight away. Stay as full of life, dear Oli! The Riedls
Very nice and funny tour
