| This is a good tour for tourists. But for new yorkers who want to get an insight on movies locations..yeah its not worth it you know all of it or have least past by it like ten times in the city. our guide was realy nice just horrible jokes, not funny at all.
when u get out of the bus to see something its notw roth getting off and on. u can just see it from the bus. u get out for like 4 minutes then hop back on
if your from another country great tour. nice bus. |

| Our tour guide was very informative and funny. We saw much of Manhattan and he even let us stop for a slice of pizza at one of the "on location" spots.
The NBC tour is much like other studio tours. We did get a lot of interesting information about SNL and our tour guides were very fun.
I'd recommend the tour for anyone who likes fun facts about tv shows and movies or for anyone who just wants a tour of the city. |

| Gary was our tour guide and he made the 3-1/2 hour tour fly by! He was very entertaining, funny and interesting. He also made sure that our hungry bellies were fed as we were given the option to stop for a quick slice of pizza. This is definitely the best way to tour the city and see movie/TV film locations at the same time. Inexpensive tour and worth every penny! |

Bus tour dated and NBC Studio tour unfulfilling.

| The bus tour was not great. There were mostly references to Friends and Seinfeld. The "highlight" of the tour (as it was described) was the outside of the Friends apartment building.
The NBC tour was disappointing. We were brought into what was called the makeup room, and once inside told that it was not actually the makeup room at all, but probably about the same size as the real makeup room. It was just an empty room. Then we were shown a video of them making a mask. The tour was over an hour, and we spent about 5 minutes in the news studio and 5 minutes in the SNL studio. The rest was spend being shuttled from elevator to elevator.
Would not recommend either. |

| If you are familiar with popular t.v. shows from the 80’s, 90’s and now and are a fan of well known movies that filmed in NYC, then this will be a great experience. My friends and I loved this tour. Not only do you sit comfortably on a bus, but you also get a chance to walk around certain streets and even stop for a slice of pizza from a movie site. Our tour guide was awesome. Kymberly was entertaining and very knowledgeable. She even offers to take pictures using your camera so no one gets left out. The NBC tour is not bad either. |

| My husband and I really enjoyed this tour with its special touches like the stop for pizza and cookie break! Kimberly was excellent and led a very interesting tour. The movie clips that accompany the tour make it even more enjoyable. I highly recommend if you are up-to-date on movies and TV shows! |

| We had a lot of fun on both the NBC Tour and the TV/Movie Sites Tour. The NBC tour was fun to see the different studios. We were able to see the NBC Nightly News studio, Conan's studio, and SNL's Studio. It was fun and very informative.
The TV/Movie Sties Tour was packed with information. Our tour guide was entertaining and full of knowledge. We got to see lots of great sites like the Friend's Building and the Cosby steps. The guide was even nice enough to take pictures of everyone that wanted one at each of the stops. |

| I thoroughly recommend the tour. I booked the group tour for myself and a group of university lecturers and students who are studying related subject areas. and were all on a five day visit to New York from UK.
The tour was thoroughly engaging and would be suitable for people with a general interest and those with a semi and professional engagement with media and the industry.
The tour guide for funny, engaging and was a terrific experience singing Smelly Cat after the Friends location. There was a substantial amount of information on locations their specific use/ establishing shots etcc which made it informative for the students on the tour.
a totally fab experience.
The NBC Experience not so great, but the money was well spent for the location tour on its own. |
