Vitali is an awesome guide! We had a really joyful experience with him on the pedicab tour of Central Park. He is very friendly, accomodating and funny. He found a place to store our stroller on the pedicab, provided us with a blanket and even dropped us off at a restaurant. I highly recommend doing this tour with Vitali if you want to know more about Central Park, experience and see all of it.

This was one of the coolest things we have ever experienced. Buddy the elf did an absolutely amazing job riding us around Central Park at Christmas time. I took my daughter to New York shortly after we lost her mom and my wife and this type of experience is something that we will always remember. Buddy was kind and patient and made it such a fun experience. The hot chocolate and coffee and cozy blanket being in the middle of New York was just a very special moment in life. Thank you Buddy the Elf for being such a kind person.

If I could give "Buddy the Elf" 6 out of 5 stars I would. He was informative, funny, engaged, and knowledgeable. Guided tour included stops and picture opportunities. One of our favorite parts of our day! Also, the cheapest Pedicab ride we saw. He was on time and easy to locate.

This tour is a must do especially during the holidays! But I’m excited to come back in the spring and do it again with my husband! Our drivers were charismatic and hilarious! They were very knowledgeable about the park and offered up fun facts along the way. It was a chilly day but they provided blankets and also offered to take some great pictures of our group along the way! It was so much fun. I felt like we had the best driver out there in the park!!
