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! |

The bus tour was great, the guide was very informative and knowledgeable. We had to get off the bus 3 times which was ok, but a lot of time was wasted in the getting on and off. There were a great amount of facts and sites that were shown!! A++
The NBC studio tour was not that great. After they show you a bit of a movie in a small theatre then they show you some show sets. But only 2 we saw, we spent more time in the elevators than looking at stuff. It wasn't that exciting. |

Excellent guide - a lot of fun |

Some of my party do not like rice pudding and would have preferred a 'snack stop' at a more diverse location than Rice to Riches (I loved it!). |

Should be more for the money |

The TV/Movie Sites tour showed several sites, mostly from the same handful of movies. The guide would point out the sites but the bus would drive right past the sites, barely slowing down for a good picture. We only got off the bus 3 times, and when we first got to the tour bus, there was no sign or banner or anything to let you know this was the TV/Movie Sites tour bus. The NBC Studio tour advertised that you would see the Make-Up room for SNL and Conan O'Brien but it was just a room with 3 TVs showing a loop of what the make-up artists do during 1 SNL skit. I expected A LOT more from these tours so I was a bit let down, but it was still a fun time and definitely something different. |

NEW YORK TV/MOVIE SITES: It was really too long (3,5 hours). Most of the sites shown were old movies/tv shows that I've never heard of. In the description of this tour, it was said that we would see, for example, where Ugly Betty was filmed, but we only saw it from afar and that wasn't fun (it's my favorite show). The few stops we did were a bit uneccessary, with the exceptions of the Rice and Riches (is that the right name?) and the Friends building. I was certain, by reading the description of the tour, that we would go inside Schwarz, but we didn't. The only thing I really liked about the tour was the tour guide (I'm afraid I can't remember her name). She is rather petite, short blonde hair, loves to sing. If it hadn't been her, the tour would've been dull and boring. I would suggest to make the tours shorter and clearer as to what will be seen. Personally I would've preferred a tour of recent movies/tv shows.
NBC STUDIO TOUR: It was nice. It didn't last too long and wasn't too short. The video explaining NBC's history was interesting. I was lucky to visit two sets of shows that I love: SNL and Conan O'Brian. It would've been extra special if we had the chance to meet at least meet one NBC personality. My only complaint is the tour guides. They were young girls who seemed to be giving the tour for the first time and didn't bother to do their best. One brunette named Ali and another blonde (I can't remember the name). They were unprofessional. Ali yawned in front of everyone multiple times, on the rare occasions that she smiled it was obvious that it was forced and insincere, she talked in a bored tone, and when I asked her a question concerning make-up on SNL, she simply answered with an impatient yes, without trying to elaborate. I've done many tours during my stay in NYC and she was the worst guide. My friends and I found her to be an extremely rude and unprofessional person. I honestly hope she gets fired! |

My husband and I really enjoyed the bus tour. |

This was our first trip to New York City. We chose this tour on the recommodation of a friend. Our tour guide, Roseanne, was full of energy and a lot of fun. She filled us with a bunch of information. I would highly recommend this bus tour. |
