| My daughter and I had a great time on the bus tour. Although it was 3 and 1/2 hours long it was very interesting going to many areas of New York we had never been and seeing many movie sites. Gary was very informative and really kind to our group. A great way to spend an afternoon in New York !! |

Enjoyed our tour guide. Very nice and pleasant.

| This tour was great! It was well worth the money. The TV/Movie sites component of the tour was excellent. Our tour guide was very informative and energetic. I wish all of our guides would have been this good. The NBC studios tour is a must do as well, but it is not near as exciting as seeing where all your favorite tv shows and movies were filmed. |

| The TV/Movie tour is worth the time to see all the places filmed in New York that you would never find on your own. I would suggest they lengthen the time of the tour to allow more stops for pictures and scrap the NBC tour entirely.
The NBC tour shows you very little and is quite unimpressive. It's even less enjoyable because you cannot take photos of the few studios they do show you. |

| Our group consisted of myself, my husband and kids (17 and 13. girls). The girls really enjoyed it, despite the fact that several movies and TV shows were a little before their time. Our tour guide clued us in on a strong rumor that the "Friends" cast would be making a movie, in large part due to the success of the recent Sex and the City movie. This brought squeals of joy from the girls. I don't think they enjoyed the NBC Tour quite as much as the bus tour, but I didn't hear any complaints either. -- Would have liked to have known how to get my hands on the tour discount coupons that our guide handed out after the bus tour for any friends or family members that may be considering the tour... prior to reserving the tickets...but it was still worth the price we paid. :) |

| While in NYC our son turned 18. He is a movie buff and said this is how he'd like to spend his birthday. The tour was very comfortable except the bus had limited air for some reason but we were in the front so it didn't affect us as it did those in the back.
The tour itself was interesting. The tourguide was a non-stop talker and very good at keeping our interest. We saw several different parts of Manhattan that we hadn't seen on our other city tour and liked the fact that we were able to walk some of the neighborhoods that don't seem to be as touristy. We had two generations attending the tour so what the younger ones weren't familiar with, the older ones were. It's a great way to see the most filmed city in the world. We especially enjoyed the trip to Rice to Riches since my son is a huge Will Smith fan. And the rice pudding was very tasty as well. |

| Being on a bus it is difficult to see everything out of the windows, especially if you have an aisle seat. I really enjoyed being able to get off the bus and walk a little bit, they weren't long distances at all. I would have loved to have the tour last longer and be able to get out and take more pictures outside and not from the bus. It's hard to go to that many places or know where they are when you aren't from here and are on your own. The tour guide was great, knew a lot about each location including some trivia. That was fun. I would say that if you reall want to get great pictures of some of the buildings, you should write the location down while on the tour and be able to go back to them later. |

| Although the tour director, Jessica Verdi was enthusiastic and personable, the movie sites tour was not very interesting. She also had difficulty with the video system on the bus which should be fixed before the next tour.
The NBC tour was quite dissapointing. Since the shows were on hiatus (early July)we were treated to the sight of SNL stage being used for storage. If that's as good as you can do you should not have tours during that time. Again, the tour directors were very nice and did a good job under the circumstances. |
