| During our recent visit to New York we went a number of tours that were way more interesting than this one.
Don't really have anything interesting to add on this tour - we could have walked it with a map ourselves. Tour guide didn't add anything of value to the tour.

| The tour was interesting. It showed where parts of many famous movies were filmed in Central Park. We also learned about a few not so famous but interesting sounding movies that we may try to watch.
Thank you for an enjoyable time. |

| It was great to see all the locations of the films in the park. However, the tour was not just about that. You got to learn a bit about the history of the park and insider New York information that you never would have found out yourself.
Even if you haven't seen all the films you are told about, it's great to stand where the movie stars have stood and to imagine shooting the films.
Our guide was friendly, informative and approachable. Loads of the guests asked questions and were all given good answers. She even invited us to ask questions about New York that weren't just related to the tour.
Once you have done all the 'big' sights of New York, this is something a little different, I would definitely recommend it! |

| We thought this activity was great! It was a fun way to spend a few hours in the park, and we got lots of neat trivia and facts about the park , movies, and the area. You ARE on your feet for two whole hours, so be aware of this if you have someone who is elderly or has trouble walking for a long period of time. We highly recommend it to anyone! |

| I have done this tour in the past and have enjoyed it each time I did it. This is the first time other family members did the tour and they also enjoyed it very much. Would recommend to any one going to New York as a must do.

| Wow!!! The tour through central park seemed much more interesting and meaningful because we had the best walking tour guide ever! Of the several interesting sights seen: such as the ice rink and Sheep's Meadow, our guide not only told us the movies filmed there, but gave a short anecdote on the locale, and described the movie scenes referenced. Our guide's movie and TV knowledge burst forth in a stream of enthusiasm. And if you missed it, you get a great handout at the end summarizing the sights visited and the movies filmed. there. Make your NY visit to central Park a memorable one and join this tour. |

| If you don't know about Central Park, this is a good opportunity to hear it from an expert. The synposes of movies filmed at various sites in the park made the tour interesting.

| I thought it was a great tour and excellent value. I never would have been able to find all the places at central park myself as well as know all the movies that have been used as the settings. |

| We were so excited about this tour that we showed up 30 minutes early. But the guide never showed and although they had our phone numbers, no one ever called. There had to have been more than 25 of us waiting. To make matters worse, the contact phone number they gave had a recording, but no mention was made of the cancelling of the tour. Needless to say, I requested a refund. A couple of days later, I got an email that said the money would be refunded in 10 days. It hasn't been 10 days yet so I'm not sure if it will be a no show as well. Beside the total waste of our time, the worst thing about this incident was that we never got any kind of explanation or apology--no professionalism, not even common courtesy. |
