| The young man who served as our guide on Movie Sites part of tour was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. The tour took us to places of interest and we were shown brief movie clips to support places/comments on movies locally filmed. The bus was extremely comfortable and, on an unusally hot day, the air conditioning was great! My group and I would certainly recommend the combo tour!!! |

| The TV/movie tour was very nice with a well-informed guide even though we got a little behind schedule and had a little fender-bender at a tight turn into a side street. The guide was accomodating to all, and a life-long New Yorker who shared his personal experiences that added to the tour.
The NBC studios tour was very disappointing. We got to go into the Saturday Night Live studio, but that was about it. A hokey fake news show and a short discussion on make-up artists and it was done. No Today Show, no Conan O'Brien, no News studio, no live shows in process. Although with the combination ticket, we got a good discount, we would have preferred a combo with Top-of-the Rock which we did later and enjoyed very much. |

| The guide provided us with interesting facts about all the sites and the related TV/film production. Allowed us to see many areas of NY that we probably wouldn't have gone to ourselves. Enjoyed the cookie too!! |

| Both tours are excellent. Our bus tour guide Brian was a lot of fun and shared many interesting bits of info that made the trip fantastic. I'm glad he's a movie nerd! |

| One of the things I wanted to see in NYC was the Rice Pudding Store....little did I know it was one of the surprises on the tour. We loved the tour! |

| Bus tour guide was absolutely fantastic. Sites were very interesting and tour guide was articulate and very knowledgeable. And pretty.
However the NBC tour was a big rip off. The tour lasted from 4pm to 5pm. We watched a 10 minute film (waste of time) then we spent 15 minutes going through security. Five minutes in Conan and Sat.Nite Live studios each. Five minutes in a small room with monitors showing makeup applied, 5 minutes where 2 kids read the news and weather and at 4:50 we walked back to the NBC souvenir store. My daughter is a make-up artist in films and TV in Canada and I wanted her to see something more than a loop video of makeup applied. So to summarize I have to quote Triumph the Insult Comic dog from Conan's show and say that the NBC Studio tour was a nice tour........for me to poop on! |

| We really enjoyed the Location Tour! The tour guide was great! It was difficult for some to get on & off the bus 3 times. I'd drop the rice pudding stop.
We were somewhat diaappointed with the NBC Tour. We thought that we'd be seeing more of the operation, more sets etc. The only set we saw was the SNL set. I will recommend the location tour but not he studio tour. |
