| We were on vacation from Montreal, Canada and had a great time on the movie and TV tour! The tour guide was great, got to see lots of New York that we would have otherwise not seen. Overall a great time! |

| 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. |

| The TV sites tour was entertaining and full of energy! I also enjoyed the NBC studio tour, but unfortunately part of the trial recording session at the end of the tour was not working. The young guides were a bit new at the job I think, but they tried hard. |

| It was alright. Thought we would be seeing more bigger, more well known sites rather than just smaller scenes and what not. |

| My family enjoyed this tour. At times we hadn't seen some of the movies/tv shows that were being referenced, but we were seeing some of the most famous sites in New York. I recommend the combo tour which combines this tour with the NBC Studio Tours. |

| What a high energy, memorable, interesting, and informative way to spend a few hours in New York! We loved the tour. Comfortable new bus; lots of stops and photo ops. Our teenage daughter especially enjoyed the Gossip Girls locations. When combined with the NBC Studio Tour, this is a great bargain. We're very satisfied customers!!! |

| The NBC Studio and Bus Tour was a fun experience, but make sure you're prepared to sit for a very long time.
Also, we had a great guide- which could have completely made or broken the experience. |

| We loved the movie and tv tour as a group but nbc tour was a little weak. I was expecting to see more studios and at least a studio where the broadcast is going on but we couldn't get to see any. Thanks! |
