| Our Tour Guide Gary made the whole time really fun, with Trivia questions, playing video clips and theme songs during the drive. It was great that we got on and off the bus several times and the time flew by. We got to see so many places and learn many interesting little tidbits. |

| We were excited about the combo tour...the bus tour would give us a sense of the city as well as entertain the kids on the way. combine that with the studio tour and all ten of us were looking forward to the tour.
It was Columbus Day week-end and there were streets closed. This is a huge week-end every year and the OnLocation team should know that. We spent an hour driving around mid-town and when we finally reached our first stop, we all lept at the chance to get off the bus and out of the tour. Not only had we wasted a precious two hours of our week-end, but we spent it listening to a guide tell us more about his career than the city. It was awful.
This was a huge disappointment. |

| I cannot imagine a better way to travel the city and see the places where lots of movies have been shot. It was a terrific and fun tour to do. Eventhough I'm a local I pretended to be outsider to fully enjoy this trip. I had a blast! |

| We loved this tour. We got stuck in parade traffic but our tour guide, Brian, made even this part of the tour a fun experience. He is very entertaining, funny and personable. We knew he sympathized and really cared about us. Once we got out of the terrible traffic delays he was able to share with us his incredible knowledge of the area and was willing to answer general questions about New York.
We would recommend this tour to everyone and would highly recommend Brian Taylor as your guide.. |

| We attended the TV/Movie Sites Tour as part of a recent vacation in New York. The Tour allowed us to take in many of the sights of New York within the context of the well known TV shows and films that we all know and love. The enthusiastic and friendly tour guide gave us some amazing insights and the use of on board Film and TV clips enhanced the experience further. |

| The Movie Sites Tour was great. Our tour guide Roseanne had a lot of inside information, and even showed us where some of the celebrities live. My stalker part of my personality was very happy. Also, she was very funny and entertaining all the way through even though it was 3 hours long.
The NBC tour on the other hand was a bit of a disappointment. Very short, and obviously designed for tourists. We saw some studios (most notably, SNL), but on the whole we didnt really get a behind the scenes look. The even had a mock studio specifically for the tour, which is not very authentic. |

| It was fun to ride around the city and have sites pointed out to you. Time moved quickly enough and the tour guide really tried to appeal to everyone. Nice touch on the cookie mid-way through tour.
As for the NBC studio tour, I have had more informative and interesting tours of a friend's new house (and we know how boring those are). Totally skip it and just breeze into the gift shop if you are in need of a Sheinhardt Wig Company t-shirt. |

| Seeing the actual buildings and sites where our favorite shows were taped seems to bring the people from these shows to real life, not just fiction. Having a tour guide who knew his research and presented it in a humorous and informative manner made the tour all the better. The bus provided was very comfortable, kind of eliminated the fact that there was constant traffic surrounding us while on the tour. |

| My husband and I were on our first trip to New York for pleasure. My husband had been there previously on business. I was really looking forward to this tour because I wanted to see all the places I had only seen or heard about on TV and in Movies. Our guide was Brian, a very informative and personable actor, who had lots of interesting tidbits of info regarding the places we visited. I really enjoyed the stops, actually getting out and being able to take pictures of the different sites. If I had any suggestion, it would be to include more of that. It's hard to take pictures from the tour bus, the glare from the windows and all. Even if the tour needed to be longer, I personally would have been even happier; but all in all It was a good time and I would reccommend it to everyone. |

| We really enjoyed the New York TV and Movie Sites portion of the tour. Our tour guide, Bryan, was really funny and had a vast knowledge of the city. The NBC Studio portion of our tour was a little disappointing because we were only able to view one studio (the SNL studio) because the others were unavailable. All in all, I think the bus portion alone was worth the money! |
