| 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. |

A must-see for TV and movie fans!

| 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! |

| Bryan is hilarious.....and driving around New York searching for yellow/pink paper was fun....I would recomend my friends to take the tour just for a good orientation of the city if it is their 1st trip to NYC. |

| I bought the Combo Tour - TV and Movie, and NBC Studio tour. Both were great, but the TV and Movie tour was the highlight of my trip. Our tour guide, Brian, was so wonderful, and very fun and entertaining. He went out of his way to make sure we all had a great time. It was really fun to see all of my favorite TV and Movie locations, and to hear so much history of the city's film and TV industry.
The NBC studio tour was so much fun. Robbie and Simon were our tour guides, and they did a great job. Because we were there on a Saturday, we were able to see the SNL studio, and even watch a cast rehearsal. It was really fun.
I would definitely recommend both of these tours to anyone traveling to New York - booking them as a combo saves so much money as well! |

| I am a huge movie fanatic and it seemed like many people on the bus were, too. It was really cool to see scenes from movies and then see the physical location outside the window. Every once in a while we got off the bus and took pictures in front of famous landmarks. The NBC tour was also lots of fun. We even saw the SNL cast rehearsing! I totally recommend doing both tours! Make sure you do them on a day that you're tired or your feet hurt from walking around in the city, because it gives your legs a chance to relax! |

| We're from the midwest and wanted to find the easiest way to see as much as possible in a short time.
Our bus was very comfortable and the guide was awesome!
The locations we saw were alot of fun.
I would do it all over again in a (NEW YORK) minute. |

| I traveled to New York City with my 20 year old son. We did both tours and enjoyed them both very much. We especially liked visiting NBC and getting to see the Saturday Night Live studio. Our tour guide for the movie tour was very funny and entertaining. |
