| Had a good time. Very good tour guide and it was cool hearing where a lot of films were shot as well as learning about Central Park. |

| I had some time to use while I was in NYC so I decided to take this tour. I had a great time listening to our tour guide while we walked through central park. She brought us to a few staging points of my favorite movie scenes. I swear I saw Penelope Cruz on the Walk of Writers. |

| I really enjoyed the tour. It was an excellent introduction to the Park which
is complicated and easy to get lost in. I carried a compass but was still
a little confused and just followed the herd. There were a few surprises on the way
as the park is always being used by the media! |

| 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. |

| 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. |

Great Tour - Do it!

| 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 clear advantage of this type of tour is having a local NY Person who is also involved with or has had experience in the industry ,and is thus very aware of the nuances and style required, and the type of person attending this tour and their interests in the world of film and TV. |

| A good way to be shown around central park. Lots of helpful information and friendly guide. Shows you where lots of movies are filmed - take pictures or film or come back and spend more time at those locations. Central Park is the best place in the world and the most filmed |
