| The tour was pretty good -- some of it moved to quickly and it was hard to see certain sites. The tour had a good vibe and I loved stopping at the Rice to Riches food place -- was fabulous! All in all it was definitely enjoyable bus tour! |

| The tour guide was great (I believe his name was Dan) The weather was rainy. The main problem this led to was that the windows on the bus were steamed up no amount of clearing left them clear enough to see, I understand the company has no control over the weather but the bus should be functional in rainy weather,
The NBC tour was great. |

| Even though the weather was terrible, the bus tour was great. My friends and I enjoyed seeing all of the TV & Movie locations. Personnaly I would have liked to see more Law & Order sites. The part that sucked was the NBC Studio tour. According to your instructions we allowed time between the bus tour and the studio tour. When I made the studio tour reservations, no one told me that we would only see 1 studio. It is not much of a studio tour if you only see the SNL studio. If we had known we could have been there sooner. |

| Nice to get free goodies on this trip. Only bad thing (no fault in the tour) is the rain :o(
It made it tough to see things from inside the bus. Speaking of bus, I would recommend getting those clear bubble ceilings so folks that are on one side of the bus can see the other side with no problems and can take photo much easier.
Thanks again... |

| With this tour you get to see NYC from a different point of view: not only they will take you to most of the spot where movies and TV serie were shot but also you will extensively tour Midtown, the Village, and SOHO and see places where you'd probably never go on a regular tour. Very recommended. Our guide, Brian, was very prepared and has been a terrific experience. |

| The combination was, on the whole, excellent. The tour guide Brian was entertaining and informative and I think he was great. The tour itself seemed to be too long and by the end we where all about done. The video clips also seemed out of context when they where played two or three locations after the clip was shot. I would recommend it to friends but manage their expectations as far as the length is concerned. I would use you again as I enjoyed it. |

| I personally liked the NBC tour better than the TV/Movies tour because I'm a big Conan fan and got to see the set. The TV/Movies tour talked mostly of older movies that I have not seen. Also, most of the tour involved buildings that did not look as they did in the movies, because of alterations done for the film. This was also true for the Friends building, which did not even remotely resemble what it looks like in the tv series. In many cases they only pointed out buildings in which they shot certain movies, in which the outside appearance of the building is inconsequential anyway. I also didn't like having to get off the bus four times to walk in the freezing weather. Overall, I suppose my expectations for the TV/movie tour were too high. |

It was money well spent!

| Pleasantly surprised. The bus looked new. Just the right size for a group. Our tour guide was born and raised in the area so that was a plus for knowledge. Can't believe how much of Manhattan we saw in 3 1/2 hours. It was a great way to see a lot. We could have never seen so much and learned so much on our own. Then the NBC studio tour, what can I say. That was really something to see. We now have a whole new perspective and knowledge of some of the things we see on television. Thank you for the experience. No regrets!
Thanks again,

| Our tour guide ryan for the bus tour was the best! There was this rude girl that talked throughout the entire tour but he maintained his composure and didn't miss a beat. Even our bus driver Kevin was great. I didn't like the NBC Studio tour at all. It is advertised to show 2-3 studios but we only saw one. The people who didn't prepay was charged a lesser rate because of it. I wish they would have told me when I made my reservation a month in adavance because then I would have chose another time! |
