| We really enjoyed both tours (NBC Studio Tour & TV/Movie Sites Bus Tour).
The NBC tour was very interesting as it showed many of the sets for NBC shows. We were able to see several news studios, the set for Late Night with Jimmy Falon, SNL set, as well as participating in reading the news/weather prompter. Very interesting tour.
The bus tour was fabulous! Gary was our tour guide and he kept everyone laughing the entire time. The tour was very informative about different TV/Movie locations throughout the city. He made sure that the bus driver slowed down for all the sites so everyone could take as many pictures as they wanted. We stopped at 4 different filming locations around the city to get an up close look at the filming locations. Great tour for any tv/movie buff, or anyone who wants to to see more of the city and learn some interesting facts. Highly recommended |

| My wife and I participated in both the NBC studio tour and the NY movie/TV sites tour.
We did these tours on separate days. The NBC studio tour was excellent and the guides were informative and friendly. We saw several studios and were shown how the shows are created and televised. We were fortunate because we also were able to tour the Today show studio-which, we understand, is very rarely open to the tour. Lots of fun and very worthwhile. The NY movie/TV site tour was also very interesting. It was approximately 3 hours long with a great pizza stop. Our tour guide was really great and informative giving us insights into the many movie and tv sites visited. We also found this tour to be quite worthwhile. |

NBC Tour is worth it but Bus is long.

| Loved the NBC part of the Tour. The Bus tour was good and so was the guide, the only problem is that we also did another hop on off tour bus that touched on a few or the locations. If this was our only bus tour I'd recommend it, having it last three hours ate up a chunk of time. |

A very nice look at New York.

| A guided tour on a very comfortable 54 passenger tour bus. The tour includes several stops where you get off for photo opportunities. A very interesting, well done tour with a WONDERFUL tour guide who had all the information we wanted. While traveling on the bus around town, the guide shows movie/TV clips to refresh your memory about scenes that have used the locations you visit. I highly recommend this tour. |

| We took the Onlocation tour first, then the NBC Studio Tour Experience. Love the real Friends apartment location, recommend to try Men In Black pizza (yummy!) at Ben's Pizza, and wonderful Ghostbuster Fire station and I am Legend's Will Smith apartment. Jessica, our tour guide was terrific and very energetic! She was very professional and knowledgeable!
NBC Studio Tour was also exciting! Camera adds ten pounds phrase is actually correct term when they used the 'trick' to show more audience in the Tonight Show. Also we like the SNL studio and the live show by the tour participants to be the weather man and try to read the teleprompter - it was not easy!
If you love to see the real locations for movies, and want to experience how they shoot the show in NBC, this tour is highly recommended! |

| Purchasing tickets for the combo NBC studio tour and the On Location TV and Movie sites tour is the best way to go. You can schedule both events on the same day or space them out and do them on different days which is great for people who want to do something different everyday and have other things planned as well. Both tours were AWESOME! The studio tour brings you to sets like Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Saturday Night Live, NBC Newsrooms, and more. Unfortunately, you can't take pictures on this tour which is a bummer if you're photo crazy like myself. However, on the TV and Movie Sites tour you can take all the pictures you want. Our tour guide was Brian Taylor and he was VERY enthusiastic about the tour. He was very fun and energetic and he made the tour a blast! This tour is a great way to see New York City.. you go EVERYWHERE and there is something movie and TV related for EVERYONE and your guide will make sure that everyone sees something that is of interest to them. You will also get to hop off the bus a few times for some photo opportunities which is great! :) Also, if you take the tour on a really hot day like myself and my friends did, you'll be thrilled about the air conditioning when you get on and off the bus!! Also, if you don't know much about the TV and movie sites that are in New York City, there is a dvd that is played on the TV screens on the bus that has clips from dozens and dozens of movies and your tour guide will play those clips while you are actually at the specific sites that are being shown on the screen. It's really neat to look out the window and see the site where the TV show or movie is filmed and then look at the show/movie on the screen at the same time. This is a fantastic tour and it is definitely worth the money! It is much better to go with the combo because you are saving some extra cash that you can spend elsewhere in the city. Also, it's really interesting to see how things work behind the scenes in the studios in the NBC studio tour and then go out in New York City to see all of the options producers have when selecting places to film their TV shows and movies. I give both tours a BIG THUMBS UP and next time I am in the city, I will definitely be checking out some of the other more specific tours that On Location offers in New York City!!! Buy the tickets and take the tours!!! You'll have a fantastic time!!! |

| We found it so hard to cram everything in....it would have been nicer to have the tour start earlier (like 9 or 10am). Starting at 11am and then wrapping up at 3pm took the better part of a day. We saw lots and that was cool but by the end we were like...yah, yah a TV show was shot there...big deal. I don't want to critisize as it was a good tour. Our tour guide Gary was wonderful, funny and went the extra mile to make sure we had a good time. I guess in the end it wasn't a match for my tastes. I need a more tangible experience and not just driving by just to say I saw it. |

| We got to see so many sights in NY that were famiiar because of having seen them on TV shows or in movies. We had a very nice coach bus. Our tour guide was well informed and entertaining. I would definitely recommend this tour |
