| The NBC studio tour was just okay. We enjoyed seeing the SNL stage but since they were on break it was literally covered with boxes and smaller sound stage rooms, so it was hard to really see the stage. Also there were no pictures allowed to memorialize the time. We were offered one picture that was available for purchase at the end. It would have been nice to speak with someone more involved in production or be taken down the hallway of SNL but it felt more like we were shuffled around into small rooms. I wouldn't really recommend this.
If your visit to NYC is short... 3-6 days, the bus tour is too long. It takes up an entire 3 and half hours and many of the venues I was not familiar with, even with the video clips to remind me. This might be something for real movie & TV buffs, but my 18 year old and I would have prefer the awesome NYC museums and cafes instead. We left the tour about halfway through. |

| My family loved this tour. WE did the combo tour with the NBC studio that morning at 8:30 and then the T.V. and movie tour. I would recommend doing it after a day of alot of walking. It was nice to sit on the bus. I also would suggest doing it early in your trip. It was a great way to see the city.
Our guide was very good. Very energetic and informative. She made it most enjoyable. |

| My mom and I loved the TV/Movie sites tour. Our tour guide really cared that we were having a fun time. Comfortable luxury bus with important movie clips to enjoy along the way. I appreciated that our friendly and knowlegable tour guide was willing to take photos of us in the photo. I would recommend to others! NBC tour at a discount rate was a good deal too! |

| I thought the studio tour was very interesting and worth the money. I enjoyed the movie site bus tour because it provides a good way to see a lot of the different areas of New York. I thought there was a little too much "hype" on the actual movie sites, but it was an interesting way to see some of the city sights. |

| i really liked the tour. i was able to see where different movies and tv shows were filmed or modeled after. the tour guide was very energetic and entertaining. she was able to add humor to the tour and she also pointed out the inconsistencies in films that only new yorkers would know. the tour was also enjoyable because it takes place off the beaten track - it included a lot of places that are not as touristy as others and was different from the general new york tours. |

| The tour guide was lovely. My grandson and I could not relate to any of the movie/tv material because we had never seen those shows. It was not the fault of the tour. I think the tour was geared to tourists. Since we are native New Yorkers, the ride around Manhattan was not a novelty. Again, this was not the fault of the tour.
Obviously, the tour had been well planned. The air conditioned bus and video screens were helpful. Tihe itinerary was well executed.
The television tour at NBC was more interesting. One of the tour guides talked too fast and I could not always understand her. The tour was to cursory and sparse and seemed like a promotion for NBC ending in the NBC shopping experience.
My grandson and I spent a week together in Manhattan and the NBC combination tour was the only disappointing experience we had.. |

| Had a great time - saw locations from old and current tv shows and movies. Friends, Cosby Show, Gossip Girl, Hitch... and so many more. Sometimes it was hard taking photos from the bus- I wasnt too worried as i have time to return to NYC at another time. Some people would have liked more stops off the bus.
Tour guide was fantastic. Very funny and a great singer. |
