The answer is simple: In 2022, made "the mistake" to come in New York, for holidays, and I fell immediately in love with the city. So, I decided to come and stay.

I had a very nice experience with Guru walks. The guide Theofan was well-informed about different aspects of the city areas, buildings and city life

An Unforgettable Journey with an Exceptional Guide From the moment our tour began, it was clear that we were in for a treat. Our guide, Theofan, was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly passionate about sharing the city’s rich history and hidden gems. His enthusiasm was infectious, and he had a knack for storytelling that brought the landmarks to life. John’s expertise extended beyond the usual tourist spots. He introduced us to local haunts and shared stories that you wouldn’t find in any guidebook. His recommendations for food and entertainment were spot-on, ensuring that our experience was authentic and memorable. What truly set Theofan apart was his attentiveness to our group’s needs. He was patient, accommodating, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure everyone was comfortable and engaged. His warm personality and professionalism made us feel like we were touring with a friend rather than a guide. I cannot recommend Theofan highly enough. If you’re looking for a tour that’s informative, enjoyable, and tailored to your interests, look no further, Theofan is the guide who will make your visit unforgettable.
