| Travelling with 2 families over a long weekend - with kids 6th -9th grades.
After 4 days of walking everywhere, they liked the ability to ride for a tour. However, many of the sites on the Movie tour were from TV/movies we'd not seen. Kids lost a little interest in places from old shows that they'd never seen or heard from. Only a few of the spots, movies were from their generation (Gossip girl, Spiderman, Bride Wars, etc.) Interesting, but not "to die for". Nice to be able to see the famous sites and the guide was very entertaining, but not a "must do" if you are limited on time, etc. for your trip. Bus stopped at a pizza place for lunch, which was pretty nice. Tour takes about 3.5 hours.
However, kids REALLY enjoyed the NBC tour, and it was only a little over an hour. |

| I had a great time on the tour--mainly because of the enthusiastic tour guide, Bianca. She provided interesting commentary throughout the trip. I was worried I would lose interest due to the length of the tour (around 3 hours), but she really made it interesting.
The sites on the tour are interesting, especially if you are a movie buff. (If not, I would not recommend you go on this tour.) At times we had to drive by a site a little too quickly, but that is the fault of NY traffic more than anything else.
Overall, it was quite fun. Thanks Bianca. |

| This was a really fun addition to our New York trip! Our tour guide Brian was amazing and made the entire tour very fun and entertaining. It's definitely worth it, not only do you see sites where movie and shows have been filmed, but it's also a good way to see all the different areas in the city. Not to mention we also got to see an actual movie being filmed so that was a nice extra to our tour. The NBC studio tour is also amazing, and the two make for an awesome day. Overall the tour was a really fun experience and it was the highlight of our trip! |

| It was pouring...and I mean pouring..that day but Kimberly, our guide, was awesome and didn't let a monsoon stand in our way of a great time! I stood on the steps of the Cosby House and got to see the Friends apartment building and the firestation where Kramer comandeered a fire engine and so much more! Plus, the tips about how to find a filming location were great (they led to my happening upon Rachel McAdams filming later on). I recommended this to everyone else I was touring with! You will LOVE it! |

| We had a great time. Great the bus was air-conditioned. Just shut off the flash on my camera & got great pictures. Liked going around in a circle in a few areas in case you didnt get a picture before or wrong side of bus. Not a lot of action on the left side of bus though. 4 Canadians had a great time though. |

| I really enjoyed the tour of the NBC studio. I learned a lot and the people conducting the tour were knowledgeable.
The bus was a good idea -travel-wise, and for comfort- but it was hard to see the items pointed out seeing I was near the back and we may have already passed it before we focused on what it was. The clips were too brief in some cases. The lunch plan was a disaster seeing we did not divide up into two groups and we had to board again clutching our pizza purchase, and not eating until we were on the bus. The guide was very entertaining and enthused. The schedule was accurate and the meeting place convenient. |

| The New York TV/Movie Sites was good. The NBC studio tour was not worth it.
The NBC studio tour was provided by worn out pages that appeared to be uninterested. No enthusiasm!!! |

| This is a really fun tour...our guide was very informative and friendly...she took some great pictures of us at every stop...the transportation was very nice (an air conditioned charter-style bus), but we would have preferred a double decker bus...even if we had been outside, it would have been better because we could have seen and taken pictures out of both sides...sometimes there would be an attraction on the right side of the bus that we could not see or take a picture...overall, though, my wife and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who watches much television and movies! |

| I highly recommend this tour! Not only will you see most of Manhatten, but you'll learn a lot about filming locations. Kymberly (our guide) was incredibly knowledgeable, and she was very entertaining and friendly. She really seems to love her job! Also, the bus was super clean and comfortable (and with a bathroom!) which, as a weary traveler, was much appreciated. Thank you, I have already recommended this tour to other folks I met while in NYC. |
