| My daughter is 18 and has never been to NYC but loves many of the shows and movies mentioned on the website. I thought it would give her a good overview of NYC with the added bonus of hearing about shows she likes. We saw many famous areas of the city plus some fun, interesting places and neighborhoods that we would have never known about or ever seen. The free NBC tour that gets thrown in is ok. It's short and you get a tiny glimpse of what goes on there. My recommendation is to do it early (9am), get it out of the way and then walk over to this tour which is a few blocks away. Duck into Starbucks (across from where the bus picks you up) before the bus comes and grab something to eat. My only complaint about the NYC trip is that they give you sweets on the bus plus stop at a fun rice pudding place but never take you to a pizza place or deli to experience that. Since you're on the road until 2:30 or so you will be starving and rice pudding won't cut it. I wish they would have given us 10 minutes in Little Italy to grab something and then hit the pudding place.
But, our tour guide-Roseanne-- was informative, fun and very knowledgeable. It's absolutely worth doing! |

| We were very pleased with the tour. The guide was very good at providing information about movies and television. My kids are 19 and 21 and thought that it was one of their favorite parts of the New York trip. |

| We enjoyed the tour very much. Had a terrific tourguide- Gary, who was very professional, funny, informative, etc. There was a slight problem in the beginning where my family was not on the list but we did have our receipt and Gary made sure we could still take the tour. We appreciated that very much. We didn't get a chance to go to NBC studios so can't comment on that part but we got to see a lot of NYC on the TV/Movie Sites tour, and it was alot of fun. Our teenagers especially enjoyed it. |

| I would recommend this tour to anyone. My family who lives on Long Island and myself with my daughter(we are from Canada) absolutely loved it My family said they saw parts of the city they had never seen. It was very interesting and the tour guide(Roseanne)was great. The stops made the time fly by. NBC tour was also good but too quick. |

| This really is a good start to an extended holiday - it provides a nice overview of many parts of the city.
Our tour guide was fun and knowledgeable and got almost everyone involved in singing along.
A great value for the buck- Love the stop at the rice pudding place as well as the black and white cookie! |

| Brian was our tour guide for the location part of the tour and he was great, he certainly knew his stuff, was friendly and helpful. We managed to see a couple of films in the making as well as the sites for current and past films and tv shows.
The NBC studio tour was a little disappointing as it was very short (20-30 mins) and we didn't see anything being rehersed, written, filmed etc and the make-up room wasn't actually a make up room but just a couple of rubber masks... although again the tour guides were good. |
