| The bus tour was fine, a little long though. Had we been at the back of the bus, I don't think we would have liked it as much because I don't think we would have seen a lot. We were sitting at the front of the bus, which we could see much more of what the tour guide was pointing out. The tour guide, Brian was fun and kept the tour interesting. He did a great job. It would have been more exciting if we could have gotten of the bus and actually been able to go inside a place where a movie or show was filmed. But overall, we were satisfied with the bus tour.
We WERE NOT happy with the NBC walking tour. We were SUPPOSED to get an hour and 15 minute tour through NBC studios and we ONLY got a 45 minute tour and that included going through security and sitting through the movie. We didn't get to see the Sat. Night Live set which we were led in believing we would see that. The only "famous studio" that we got to see was the MSNBC newsroom. We saw a video of how they make a mock head of each actor for Sat. Night Live, but it was just a video, not the make up room. We really didn't see much at all....we were VERY DISAPOINTED!!!! We said something to the desk where you purchase tickets and the person explained that there may have been some sets that were closed to the publicfor that day....however, on the NBC Studio tour brochure, it states all the areas that we would be touring and we didn't see what is advertised. I felt we OVER PAID and got ripped off on the walking tour. |

| We had a great time on both tours and great tour guides. They were very knowledgeable and our bus tour guide was very humerous as well. The tour bus itself was new and so very clean. This was a great way to see New York proper when on a limited vacation time. We saw all the major sites in a short time, including several stops to get out and take site photos and even a stop for lunch. I would highly recommend this joint tour, its great fun! |

| We really enjoyed his funny sense of humour and specific depictions of the sites we were seeing. He made the tour fun. The tour itself is really nice too. From the bus, you get to see many of the sites and the "lay of the land" on Manhattan. We saw so much! We loved getting pizza at Ben's too!!! |

| NBC Studio Tour
The NBC tour was interesting and fun. We got to see up close behind the scenes of several Live Comedy and the Nightly News shows. The tour guides were very sweet and informative and gave us interesting facts about how everything is done behind the cameras without being too technical. Then, they ask for volunteers to do a live news and weather shoot which was really fun since one of the participants was my daughter. Afterwards, we were able to purchase a DVD of it. Great souvenir to take back.
The TV/Movie Sites Tour
What a great way to see Manhattan. The tour guide was excellent and very entertaining. They showed clips from movies and TV to reinforce what we were seeing. The best part was seeing the Friends' building. We got to get off the bus and have our pictures taken. It was a great time. I highly recommend both tours. |

| We recently purchased the NBC TV/Movie tour from Zerve. Although they are not run together, the savings was great for our group. The NBC tour was great. It allowed us to see sets of the Jimmy Fallon show as well as SNL.
The TV/Movie tour was great. Our tour guide was very enthuasitic and made the ride fun. We saw locations for movies that spanned many years, anything from "I Am Legend" to "Breakfast at Tiffany's" Our group ranged in age from 13 to 82 and everyone enjoyed themselves. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in TV and movies. |

| This was a great tour with a fun and entertaining host named Kimberly and a great driver. We had so much fun finding out all kinds of facts and playing games on our tour. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to any of my friends that travel to NY and I would be interested in taking a different tour next time! |

| We had just the weekend, so we wanted to see as much as we could. This gave us the opportunity to see the different neighborhoods in Manhatten and gave us a great feel of New York. We loved the different sights along with the clips of movies that were shown. Pizza at Ben's was a great idea and a pleasant surprise. Brian was very informative and quite witty. My sister and I are over 40, but I took my daughter who just turned 18. It had something for all of us! Obviously, some movies we didn't see, but will be sure to see them in the future. My only complaint was that it may have gone a little too long. We did get out quite a bit and there were some stops that I think we could have just driven by. Oh well, all in all, a great experience, would recommend it. |

| My dayghter had fun in the NBC Shop. The tour itself was a bit boring - think NBC could step it up a bit. |
