We especially enjoyed the bus tour section of our tour. The guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and she (Kimberly Tuttle) made the afternoon a lot of fun. We got to see so many of the sites that we had seen on TV and in the movies. She did a great job relating the buildings and neighborhoods to shows and movies, that now I find myself picking up on these things as I watch, as does my husband. We went back to the hotel that evening, turned the TV on (Law and Order was on) and voila! The tour went at a good pace, and we got off a few times (but not too many) for a closer look, as well as for photo-ops. Thank goodness for the air-conditioned bus on a hot and muggy August afternoon. All in all, we had a great time. Even my two teenaged boys were interested and enthusiastic (an accomplishment in and of itself, as many parents can attest). Kimberly kept things moving with trivia questions and prizes. Thanks to the organizers, and especially to Kimberly. |

As leaders of a Senior Girl Scout troop (18 yr olds) we decided to surprise the girls with this tour. We were not sure how they would respond although we thought they would like it alot. We were pleased to see how much they enjoyed it. It was alot of fun and Gary our tour guide was great! The girls even got him to pose for a picture afterwards. They really enjoyed the trivia too. We got to see parts of NYC that we would not have had time to see and the interesting facts along the way were great! We would definitely recommend it.
p.s. Dave the bus driver was a hoot also! We got him to pose for a picture too!

It was great to see some of the sites used in tv and movies. Learned a little about how scenes are shot and the magic of the camera. It ended up raining, but the tour guide (Brian) handled things very well. A few of us dashed for a bowl of rice pudding at one of the stops (don't want to ruin it for you). The next day we walked to all the spots we couldn't get good photos off due to the rain. The only disppointment was we expected to see 'Rescue Me' spots, so I'd recommend removing that from the advertisement on your site. |

Well worth the tour |

Our family did the combo NBC Studio tour plus the New York Movies and TV sites tour. We really enjoyed both. The tour guides were excellent. They were informed, positive and fun. The NBC studios are housed in a beautiful historical building and it was great to visit the SNL site and Conan O'Brien's studio. The movie and TV sites tour really helped put NYC in perspective. Since being on the tour we have enjoyed watching programs and films made in New York and being able to identify specific locations. We would definitely recommend this tour. |

This was an awesome tour and it was real cool and informative. loved the studio tour especially. the NBC store is great for souvenirs.
there was one bit of confusion though: i didn't feel there was enough info provided by the ticket agent regarding the meeting locations and how to organize the tours. The TV tour has to be booked by YOU via telephone or you will not have one. Even though it is prepaid you MUST call to book the studio tour. MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL THE INFO!
AND:
the meeting spots are different depending on the tour. the bus tour meets at a diner, not in front of the NBC studios! |

Definitely worth the time and price! |

I recently attended this tour with my 14 year old son. We both enjoyed it quite a bit - there was something there for everyone. It's not only a great way to see lots of landmarks that you've come to know over the years from TV and movies, but it's also a great way to get acquainted with NYC in general. Definitely recommend it! |

Both tours were excellent! |

My adult daughter and I took both the NBC and TV/Movie tours. Both were very enjoyable. Was interesting to see the sets of Saturday NIght Live and Late night with Conan OBrian from the actual audience seating area. The tour guides were very knowledgable and fun. Thank you to NBC for opening up your building to the public!
I'm glad we bought the Combo tickets on-line - saved a little money and through Zerve our tickets were reserved and check-in at both locations was very simple.
We did the TV/Movie tour the second day. Was nice to ride in an air conditioned bus, and seeing the vidio clips as we viewed the actual site where the filming took place was a bonus. Our tour guide was excellent. She really knew her stuff and at the same time was very attentive to what was going on with the group. Since this was my first visit to NYC, was nice to just sit back and see alot of Manhattan.
Thank you for 2 great tours! |

My husband and I very much enjoyed the NBC studio tours, especially the fact that we were able to visit the SNL studio. It was interesting to learn how the shows are taped, and see where the hosts and stars do their stuff! We liked the bus tour as well, but not being American, we weren't so familiar with all the shows that were discussed, so for us, it was a bit less fun than the studio tour. But we recommend it highly - especially for American TV-show and film buffs. Our guide Brian was great, very informative and entertaining! It was great knowing that he is an actor, and he shared with us some things about his experience as an actor, and we learned a lot. Thanks Brian - all the best to you in your career! And thank you for these tours. |

The bus ride through the city is comfortable, entertaining, and tells you so much. I am a big movie fan, so it was great to have all of the sites where movies have been filmed pointed out to me. I like that we got off the bus at certain stops along the way to walk on streets where shows and/or movies have been filmed. Our guide was really amazing and knowleagable about movies, the city, and little celebrity facts. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to any movie and TV lover! |
