| Our guide was friendly & helpful, but I'm afraid to say the video on the coach did not work at all well. That meant the scenes she was describing from the shows were seen through a mist of static, and sometimes with no sound. It meant that it was often difficult to place the locations we saw. That said, the trip to the Scout bar, Carrie's steps & the Magnolia Bakery more than made up for this. We've been to NY several times before, but we saw parts of the City we hadn't visited before, such as the Meat Packing district. That said, given the limited time available, I would have thought a better first location for a stop could have been found than a sex shop. I know it's Sex & the City, but surely there must be something more 'visually' stimulating than this. However, overall I would still recommend the trip & your booking procedure. |

| Knowing the City quite well, we thought we'd simply have a review of sites we knew that happened to be part of the show's long list of locations. This three hour tour was anything but a ride on the S.S. Minnow. We had a comfortable coach bus that snaked through the streets of the City revealing many things we had never seen before. A stop for cup cakes, Cosmopolitans and naughty shopping made for a lot of fun and even the chance to meet other SATC fans. In the process, we were able to pick up a few recommendations for dinner, drinks and, what else, shopping. This tour was so much fun we would do it again in a Carrie-meets-Big-heartbeat. Though they were good enough to jog one's memory, the only negative take on the tour was that the video clips shown were of very poor quality amounting to a bad dub and tracking problems. Had the video been of the most basic viewing quality, we couldn't complain about a thing other than they don't make Manolo Blahnik's in a men's sissy size 12. |

| The tour was awesome! Our tour guide was a lot of fun, very friendly, and knew all about the show. You see the places that segments were filmed and then see the clip from the show. I'd recommed it most for big Sex and the City fans, if not fanatics. If you don't know too much about the show, it may not be quite as interesting, but fun nonetheless. |

| It was a interesting tour, but it's sad that video crips were not working well. |

| Enjoyed seeing the different neighborhoods. I could have lived without the stop at the Pleasure Chest. It was inappropriate for a teenager. Perhaps I missed something in the tour description about it not being approiate for kids. (but then again, the show itself is probably not appropriate)!
It seemed like there were a number of people having a good time. |

| I thought the tour was very good, the presenter was very enthusiastic, and the tour was fun. The problem was that the vidoe didn't work properly so all the clips that were shown of the show were of poor quality and kept on cutting out. Apart from that , I would recommend the tour to anyone that was visiting New York. |

| I thought it was a great way to see the city and get some history on different places. We were able to get off the bus and some of the different loacations and I really enjoyed that. Our bus driver and tour guide were both fantastic and allot of fun. I would recommend the tour to anyone I knew going to the city. |

| The tour was a lot of fun! It was a great value - we saw a lot of the city, many meaningful locations from the show, and enjoyed reveling in our love for the show with a group of other fans and a lively and comical tour guide! The stops were brief (allowing about 20 minutes for a Cosmopolitan at Aidan and Steve's bar), but the tour kept up a good pace and was never dull. I'm tempted to take this tour again the next time I'm in NYC! |
