| Even on a rainy day the tour was well worth battling the rain. The guide was very informative with a few suprises. Highly recomend the tour. |

| I throughly enjoyed the walking tour through Central Park. Kim was an excellent tour guide and we had quite an adventure on the day we went out. We saw the Tony winning actor from South Pacific shooting a commercial, a model photo shoot, 2 weddings and a movie being filmed, and that was just our extra bonus!!! It was such a nice walk and learning all about Central Park and the movie history was great. I have taken the Bus Movie Tour before and would recommend both tours to anyone traveling to New York. The walking tour is a great way to spend an afternoon!! |

| This is a great way to see Central Park. The park is huge, so it helped having a guide who knew her way around. Being movie fans, we had seen almost every film discussed. It was so much fun putting the film with the location. Not sure non-movie fans would love it, but we definitely did! Only drawback--it was 95 degrees!! The guide did a good job of keeping us in the shade when possible, but at the end of the two hours, we were all ready to get into air conditioning and find something cold to drink. Would recommend it to anyone to loves movies and/or beautiful parks. |

| We were blessed with a beautiful day. Our guide was very informative and set a reasonable pace for all to follow. We learned much about the park's history and visited most of the "must see" sights while visiting the movie sights as well. The tour was planned to have 33 guests. My first impression was that was a bit too many. There were to be ten in our personal group but because of some poorly worded directions, two of our party could not find the meeting place. I'm not sure of actually how many we ended up with but it wasn't as unmanageable as I thought it would be. The meeting place is on the North side of 59th St. My only suggestion for the tour operators would be to clarify the meeting place and procedures....For out-of-towners, 59th St. and Central Park South are one in the same. We did not know this at the time. This confused at least two of our group enough to miss the tour and I actually had to get help from a cop. When we finally did find the meeting place, I expected someone to be holding "up" a blue flag or something but after five or so minutes of looking around and wondering if we were in the right place, we found our guide standing silently right in front of us holding a small blue cloth at chest level. I don't know how long she had been standing there! Keep in mind, there were hordes of people walking back and forth along the street and it was not easy to home-in on our guide. All in all, we had a great tour of the park and no one in our group had any real complaints. |

| We had a very enjoyable time. There were others in the group, however, who found the walking to be too much. |

Really enjoyed the tour

| This tour is enjoyable for those of us New Yorkers who enjoy learning more about the city and spending time in the park. We were able to see and learn about Central Park and all of the interesting facts about the movies. It was pretty interactive with participants joining in with their own movie facts. |

It was fun, but not real exciting.

| I have done this tour before - back in 2006. The original tour was excellent, and I highly recommended it to friends and family. This time, the tour was just as good, however there were FAR too many people (approx 25) booked on it. Can I suggest that if there are over 12-14 people booked on one trip, two guides are used. |

| The Central Park Movie Sites tour is definitely a tour that I would recommend to anyone that would like to indulge themselves in the beauty of New York City and Central Park. As shown by its constant use as a location for motion pictures and television shows, Central Park has so much to offer and it really is an attribute to New York City. Jessica, the tour guide was so knowledgeable and she made the tour really interesting. I forgot how much walking we actually did! I would definitely go on this tour again with more of my friends! |
