| Good, especially if you have never done it before. Not updated much from when I took it a few years ago though, basically the same tour |

Movie references are very obscure

| We enjoyed the walk through the park, but were a little disappointed by the movie references. Our guide neglected to mention many notable movies such as Devil's Advocate, Die Hard, and Scent of a Woman. No one in our tour had heard of most of the movies that she mentioned. We had better luck with the TV shows that she included as an extra bonus, though. |

| 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. |

| Our guide was wonderul, personalbe,knowledgeable, and clearly caring for all of us--did we ned a rest, etc. There were only 10 in our group which was great, and the weather was perfect. There are also plenty of shady places to stand together to hear th guide. Ths was our first trip in Central Park, and I was s glad we did this! |

| My daughter and I were really looking forward to this tour. When we arrived in NYC, the forecast was for rain showers. And we knew that the tour would run, rain or shine. To be prepared, we took our umbrellas with us to Central Park. About 1/2 hour into the tour it started to rain, not just rain, it was a downpour! We were wading in water at times to our knees in the low spots due to the runoff just to get out of the park! Our tour guide was great! She said something would be done because this was just unreal! Lo and behold, when we got home I received an email to receive a free tour to take at a later date. I responded and received the certificate in the mail about a week ago. Thank you to OnLocation Tours for this compensation. I certainly look forward to taking this tour again. |

| We were lucky in that our group was really small so there was a great deal of back and forth discussion between all of us. The group leader, Kimberly, was bright and funny. She was knowledgeable about both Central Park and the movie locations. We saw parts of the park we would never have gotten to on our own. Highly recommended. |

| Highly recommend this one, for anyone who is interested in Central Park at all (not just movies). The tour guide took us through the most interesting and scenic parts of Central Park and gave us a lot of history about the park itself, in between showing different movie settings. The entire tour was great, especially for first-timers like us. We also went in fall, when Central Park is in all its glory, and that added a lot to our enjoyment. The changing leaves were gorgeous, and the park was not crowded at all. |

| We found the tour very good as, not only did we get the opportunity to see areas where various films were filmed, we also got to see and hear about other areas of Central Park which we would not have seen if we had aimlessly wandered around Central Park. |

| I did not take the tour, but organized it for my group - the reactions I heard were positive - nice intro to NYC and Central Park but again and again, I heard that there was too much time taken up for stopping to take pictures. I don'[t know what to compare it to - but guess the rating would be above average - almost to good. I was impressed with the organization - way we were able to contact as we were running late (we made it on time), etc. |
