We took two tours with Manuela (in Italian) namely the New York walking tour and the Liberty + Ellis Island + ground zero tours. We had a great time and learned so much. Manuela is very well informed, she has a huge knowledge of the city, its history, architecture and knows a lot of funny facts . She is easy going and extremely patient (we imposed on her a lot of stops for pictures, food, drinks etc). We discovered a new part of New York that we were not aware of during the walking tour: the Highline, which was an amazing addition to the classic part of the city. I can’t wait to go back to New York and use Manuela’s services again: she truly made our trip great and unforgettable. It’s not easy to find good, knowledgeable, and fun guides, but she is definitely the one.
