| I truly enjoyed my tour for so many reasons. The tour guide was fabulous - informative and entertaining! It was a wonderful opportunity to see some of the famous sites that have come into my living room over the years. An added benefit was the tour of the city which gave us an opportunity to orient ourselves to NYC. I also learned valuable information for finding any filming that may be going on around the city. I will definitely recommend this to friends. |

| We loved the guide but the sights were a little dissapointing. I enjoyed getting to see the different areas of Manhattan including Greenwich Village, Soho, various buildings, etc. But as for the movie sights, discovering that most of the buildings were just "establishing shots" and not actually where filming was done, and not being able to see the sets either, was a little disappointing. |

| Our group consisted of parents,teens, and a senior. The tour was enjoyed by all although the teen was not familiar with a lot of the older movies and TV shows. This is our only criticism---the tour could stand some updating. The bus was as comfortable as could be and our guide was very well-informed, fun, and gracious. |

| Very enjoyable tour interrupted by rain. Tour guide Gary was very entertaining. Bus driver was great at weaving in and out of traffic. NBC tour was also very enjoyable. |

| This was a hit with the kids (10, 12, 13, 14) and adults. The TV sights that were visited were known by both groups. The movie clips helped to see where we were and how it was seen in the movie. The NBC tour was great too! |

| The tour was entertaining. The video clips were a great touch. Some of the places in the beginning are a little repetitive for people that are from NYC or are familiar with it (the Plaza, Central Park, FAO Schwarz, etc), but for those that are new to NYC, they are neat to see. Our guide (Brian) was great - he really kept the tour entertaining and everyone on the tour engaged. And the goodies were great, too!
The NBC studio tour was better than I expected. We got to see 3 studios; it's interesting to see what they really look like vs how they come across on TV. Just make sure you use the restroom before your tour because they are nowhere close to where the tour starts and ends! |

| We enjoyed all the fun facts we learned on the tour. It was great being able to look at the movie clips of the sights we were seeing and we couldn't believe how much we ate on the tour. (All good but maybe not good for you). The tour guide was extremely knowledgable and personable and made the trip fun. It was nice to sit back and soak in all the information. Overall just plain FUN |

| I thought the tour was excellent. Both were very interactive - at the studio and out on the town. We saw a ton of locations that were used in movies - it felt like you were right in the show!!! The tour guides were enthusiastic, energetic and knowledgeable. Also very friendly and fun!! |

| The movie/tv site tour was somewhat boring especially for my son. It was a beautiful day and it would have been nice to be on one of those open top buses. As it was, we were in a bus for most of the time and it was hard to see out the side we weren't sitting on. There were four stops to get off the bus and those stops were pleasant and the last one was very interesting (in Greenwich village.) The tour guide was very friendly and she did a great job with the material she was given.
The NBC Tour , on the other hand, was very interesting to both the adults and my son. He really enjoyed that part. |
