| This tour was definitely the highlight of my trip! It was not only fun to see all the wonderful locations where "Sex and the City" was filmed, but it was also just a great tour of the best area in Manhattan. We were taken to see The Village, the Meatpacking District, Soho, and many other areas of interest! My girlfriend, husband, and I definitely had the best time at Magnolia Bakery where we tried different types of cupcakes and at Oneil's where we had the famous Cosmo. Our tour guide Lou was definitely very enthusiastic and provided a lot of "inside info" about the series. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone even if they don't follow the series because there is definitely a lot to see and enjoy!! |

| I enjoyed the concept of seeing the locations from the show/movie. However, placement on the bus determined what could actually be seen. There were many locations I couldn't even see when we passed because they were on the other side of the street and it was disappointing. The locations we stopped for were so small it was nearly impossible for everyone to enter. The tour guide was enthusiastic and enjoyable. |

| We took the 11am tour and thought it was exciting. The tour guide, Lou, was very enthusiastic, entertaining and informative. However, I think the tour operators should reconsider the length of the tour. The last half of the tour we felt was unnecessary and all we looked at were spots we looked from far away due to traffic constraints. It's either they allow people to leave when they want or just cut the tour in half. Looking at sites from far away or telling us to look at that awning or down the block because that's where it happened isn't really worth sticking around. |

| Really glad we did this tour at the beginning of our trip as we went back to many of the locations later on in the week. A good way to see other new york districts away from the top 10 NY attractions and loved to see the film clips before viewing each location. We went back to the Buddakhan restaurant - every dish was perfectly cooked, I will definately be returning on my next trip. |

| The tour was just ok. I expected stops at the places that the girls in the show "lived" at and frequented the most--what I mean is I expected to see the exteriors of these places as I assumed that most of the indoor filming would be on a set.
The places that we made stops at seemed to be places that were only shown once on the show aside from the bar. It really made me assume the places we stopped at give the On Locations people kickbacks or something for bringing tourists there.
Given that the tour is over 3 hours I thought we would pass by the exteriors of more sites on the show. However, with NYC traffic I can see why it's hard to navigate a huge bus around.
Our tour guide was also mediocre. She seemed nice enough (until the end when she harshly told the group that a lot of the indoor filming is on a set). But she also made sure not to leave people behind which was nice. However I didn't feel that she told us very many interesting tidbits that we wouldn't have known about the show-it seemed more like a recap of the show which I can do by watching the show myself and not paying $40 each. There were a few things she mentioned that were interesting but not as many as I had hoped for.
Some of the other reviews I've read for it talked about how awesome their tourguide was so maybe I was just unlucky with the girl I got.
Overall it was a nice way to see some of the city that's not generally touristy but I'm not sure it was worth the price. |

| I've been to New York quite a few times already, but this is the first time I've done an organised tour. Our tour guide Emily was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable, fun and really related to the group. The tour was well planned and gave you a real sense of the whole of the city and your really did feel like you were following in their footsteps. The great thing was that you could compare each place with the relevant clip of the movie or show.
Am absolute must for any Sex and the City Fan. I wanted to rush back and watch some episodes! |

| As well as being a Sex and the City tour, it was also a great way to see NYC. Our guide Emily was lovely, upbeat and perfect for the job. Recommended! |

| This tour was really cool....it gives you some really good hotspots location wise and makes the movie/series come alive...the 3hrs seemed to pass so quickly and I don't know if thats a good thing or a bd thing! A definite go see for any fans of SATC. |
