| very interesting and informative tour. Gary,the tour guide on the tv/film tour bus was extremely knowledgeable. he succeeded in involving everyone on the bus, making it lots of fun. My daughter is a wheelchair user and we had requested an adapted bus. We were very impressed both with the tour bus and the courtesy of the driver, Mark. I would happily recommend this tour. |

| My friend and I, both 22, took the tv tour, on our first day after having arrived in NYC from Canada. It was thoroughly entertaining. The guide Kimberely was great, knew what she was talking about and was very approachable. Plus, since it was our first day in the city, it gave us a great tour of the city and different neighborhoods, in comfy air conditioned seats. The sites of the Soup Nazi and the Friends apartment were great! Well worth the money and time commitment. Would be a "must" recommendation for friends or family. Do it. Cheers. |

| We were 41 media students and 4 teachers from Denmark and we all enjoyed the tour. We will probably go to New York again next year, and if we do, we will definitely take the tour again. |

| I brought 15 teenage students to this tour, and it was PERFECT for them! It kept them thoroughly engrossed for over three hours as the bus showed them various neighborhoods of New York City.
What I really loved is that it was an excellent sightseeing tour for those who have never been to the city or to certain areas in the city but it was more than just the standard sightseeing tour---it was cleverly created around television and film locations. Students could relate to the tour much better that way.
There were televisions in the bus which allowed students to see short clips of the films and shows being described. So as we were at a specific location, students were able to see the scene right in front of them. It was a perfect way to make them interested in the activity and view the film or show in a different way.
The bus had a bathroom in it, so restroom stops weren't necessary. There were also several stops for photos and stretching legs, even one stop for a quick snack.
The guide was knowledgeable, entertaining, engaging, and friendly. it made the experience fly by.
HIGHLY recommended for any group! A VERY affordable excursion for a 3-hour bus tour AND a 1-hour NBC Studio Tour. Probably one of the biggest bangs for your buck! |

| We enjoyed the bus tour, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Did not feel rushed at all. The was plenty of photo opportunities inside and outside the bus and the guide made sure that everbody got their pictures they wanted and was happy with them before we went somewhere else. She would take pictures of your group for you too, if you wanted. Highlights were the Cosby(Huxtables) house, Friends apartments, Spidermans(Peter Parkers') apartment, the Fire hall from Ghostbusters/Seinfield/Hitch..we actually were able to go in it and take pictures, Soup kitchen from Seinfield and so much more. After it all they give you a list of all the places we've seen and what TV show or movie it was from so you don't have to worry about what pictures was from what.
All in all we really enjoyed the bus tour.
The studio tour wasn't as exciting for us. The highlight was the SNL studio tour and seeing some of the outfits from some movies but that was about it. As we are not Americans we weren't as interested in the news station studios. I don't think I'd take that part of the tour again. The tour guides were very knowledgeable, but we weren't allowed to take any pictures during this part of the tour. |

| My fiance and I had two great days with the combo NBC/NYC TV and Movie Sites tour. The NYC TV and Movie Sites bus tour was definitely the better of the two. We had a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable and showed us over 50 different movie and TV sites. I liked how clips from TV shows and movies were shown on the screens on the bus and then we were able to see them in real life. The NBC studio tour was great, as well. It was interesting learning about the history and seeing some of the behind the scenes work. I would have liked to see a litte more hands-on or productions in action, but other than that, it was a lot of fun. A must-see tour for tourists of NYC! |

| Our tour guide Brian was great. His knowledge of the city and the subjects covered bordered on obsession but made the tour constantly entertaining. It was nice to have someone born and raised to not only show us the tv sites but to learn a lot about the city that I didn't get anywhere else.
I'll have to admit that I wasn't thrilled about the tour and only went on it because my wife and sister wanted to go. I think I ended up enjoying it more than they did. Although it was raining Brian kept it upbeat and entertaining at every point. Great tour and I would highly recommend it. |
