| I thought Katie the tour guide was so funny. She had a sassyness about her, but I mean that in a good way totally! She was funny in her jokes and knew alot about the show. I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone and will! |

| It was a bit boring most of the time was just in the bus getting to places and then Soho was unnecessary. |

| It was a different view of New York City. It gave us a great deal of information about the show. I would recommend this tour, for native New Yorkers and tourists....It was fun for all. |

| Overall, LOVED the tour! Our booking agent (Ryan) was an absolute sweetheart. Tour guide was adorable, informative, and funny. The bus was first-class and video clips were an added bonus.
As for constructive criticism, I would have preferred the SATC tour duration to be closer to 2 hours. After that, it started to drag and the last couple of stops (before Tao) were kind of blah. I suppose our tour might have been closer to 2 (rather than 3) hours if we had left at 3PM "sharp" as we were instructed... instead, our bus didn't leave until at least 20 minutes later. Perhaps sales staff should say "3 PM soft" ??
Also, it would be a huge bonus of the tour company could arrange discounts with at least some of the local merchants along the designated tour stops. (And they know who I mean, wink wink!!)
A little disappointed that we didn't stop at Manolo Blahnik store, and only breezed past Jimmy Choo. However, our informative guide and her jokes more than made up for that.
As a New Yorker born & bred, I would DEFINITELY recommend this tour to visitors and locals alike -- but only if you are a SATC fan!! Otherwise it won't have much context. And don't even think of taking your kids unless they're over 21!

| The tour was fun and relaxing. The video clips of the show between the sights added enormously to the entertainment value of the tour.
I would have ranked the tour excellent if it also included a behind the scenes tour of one of the sets from the show such as Carrie's apartment. |

| The tour was recommended to me by a friend, and I have in turn recommended the tour to a friend who is visiting NYC next week. I thought it was really fantastic and the guide was brilliant (particularly as we seemed to have a driver who hadnt done the tour before and didnt know where he was going half the time!). I especially loved seeing the TV clips in between the stops and commentary - and the cupcake outside Magnolia's! All in all, one of the best city tours Ive ever done, so thank you |

| The guide was very informative, lots of fun. I really enjoyed myself. I ended up sitting in Tao with a few girls from the tour, talking over a Cosmo. How SATC !!! Would definitely recommend. |

| I definitely recommend this tour. I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, some of the items mentioned on the website were not mentioned on the tour, including places to be visited. Also the end of the tour at Tao was confusing. Are we to go in or not? And where was our free Cosmopolitan drink? Our tour guide was friendly, informative and funny. |

| This is great for every sex and the city enthusiast! But you do have to be quite into the show to fully appreciate all the locations. The tour is puncutated with video clips of the places you visit but to get the full amount out of the trip you need to know ur sex and the city stuff! Like remember when Samantha met Friar F*ck. This is totally unsuitable for children as there is a lot of adult content and children on the tour would ruin it for everyone else, especially when you visit the sex store where they got the RABBIT!
It's a great thing for gay guys to do as there's shopping, muffins and also a photo op on Carrie's appartment stoop- my personal fav!
The guide knows her stuff but it kinda reading it from a script. But still holds the whole thing together well!
Def do thisif you want an alternate NY experience that will have ur friends green with envy!!!!

| Katie was a good tour guide. I think the stops at the pleasure chest was too long, and stopping at the shops around D&G wasn't really necessary. |
