| My husband and I truly enjoyed our trip through Central Park! We were able to see many cool movie sites from the silverscreen that have brought many smiles to our faces! Some of our favorites were scenes from the movies "Elf", "When Harry Met Sally..." , "Serendipity", and "Home Alone 2". There was about 2.5 miles of walking, which wasn't bad except for the temperature hitting 95 degrees! The tourguide was very friendly and knowledgeable. She was courteous and answered any questions we had. We enjoyed it very much and viewed it as a very safe and fun way to see New York's famous Central Park!

| Our guide was great, very enthusiastic. But we would have liked it better had there not been so many home alone 2 references, and if there had been some more newer movies included in the tour. |

| I was very displeased with the Central Park walking tour on Saturday, July 5 with Jessica. From the moment we all arrived in the group Jessica mentioned that because of the rain we would be moving at a faster pace and try to get done in less than 2 hours. Well in our party we had someone that was unable to keep up the pace. At the first "stop" we explained to Jessica that my mother had 2 replaced hips and was unable to walk at her pace and she simply told us to "keep up." When we were able to catch up and listen to the tidbits she had to say she spoke so quickly it was very difficult to understand her. She spoke English and I speak English but she did not enunciate and when questions were asked she quickly sped through and kept on going. My father attempted to keep up with the tour while I stayed behind with my mother and he even had a hard time keeping her pace and he is in shape and walks everyday. I feel that the tour guides' lack of compassion, rudeness and clear attitude with having to do her job was unacceptable. We paid good money for a TWO hour tour and ended up leaving the tour early and walking around Central Park on our own with no explanation of movies and TV Shows.
I would NOT recommend this tour to anyone, instead walk around and then get a 40 minute ride on the Horse and Buggy as the driver tells you information along the way and keeps you entertained. |

| This was my first time in New York, so needless to say, I wanted to see as much as possible. My friend and I took the tour, and it was wonderful. Our tour guide was a native New Yorker, and very good at her job. We felt like we got to see alot of Central Park, and also got alot of history as well. It was a nice walk and very fun. I love movies and the Tour Guide didn't miss a beat!! I definately would recommend this to anyone visiting New York City for the first time. |

| My husband and I both completely enjoyed our 2 hour on location walking tour. Our guide was very knowledgable about various facts regarding the park in general (which was very interesting) but actually going to locations where so many movies were filmed made the walk really fun as well . I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys the outdoors and movies.
Since returning home we have already started to watch some of the movies that have been shot in Central Park, and they are even more fun to watch now that we have been to the exact locations in the films. Thanks for a very fun 2 hours in New York City's Central Park. |

| 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 was a nice tour, it was 90 out the day we went so I imagine it would have been better in the fall. Tourguide really knew her stuff. A longer tour would also be nice. Overall would definitely recommend. |

| 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. |
