| 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. |

| 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. |

A beautiful, interesting tour

| It was a gorgeous day in New York; therefore we found it a perfect time for a walk in Central Park. Our guide was a very knowledgeable young woman who really knew the movie sites and discussed each one intelligently and with humor. That said, the five of us agreed, however, that the presentation would have been better received if she had waited until everyone arrived at the site before beginning to inform us about the movie or TV show that was filmed at that particular location. We felt somewhat rushed in that she was trying to fit everything into certain time limits. Those of us who were in the back of the group discovered that our guide was almost finished with her descriptive comments by the time we arrived. Also, perhaps a megaphone would help her project her voice so that everyone could hear. |

| The tour guide was very knowledgable, both about movies and the history of Central Park. The pace was very comfortable, and it was a very fun way to spend a couple of hours. I'd recommend it to anyone. |

| 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! |

| The tour should be more of a leisurely stroll. The guide was excellent; the points were interesting and well explained. |

| Our tour guide was extremely knowledgable of all movies filmed in Central Park. We had a wonderful time and were able to see many parts of the park that we may have missed if we had gone on our own! I would VERY STRONGLY reccommend it to anyone who wants to have a good time and who has a love for movies! |

| 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. |
