5.00This was such a wonderful experience. Elf was hilarious and very flexible as we switched around to trying to see some hop girl locations and also home alone. Very knowledgeable about the city and history and architecture.

5.00This was so much fun! Buddy the Elf is hilarious and was a great tour guide. We had 2 cabs, Kevin driving the other one. It really was a great experience and fun afternoon. Side note, we got held up at Liberty Bagels and they waited for us, quickly communicating. Highly recommend!
Elves Rules!

5.00Vitali went all out to make the tour fun, funny and interesting for my grandchildren. The adults were thoroughly charmed, as well. Don't bother adding syrup to your coffee or spaghetti, take this tour with Vitali, instead!
