The tour was fantastic! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun! Had a lot of trivia about the show and the actors. I have been on several tours in NYC and enjoyed this one the most!

I absolutely loved the SATC tour! The tour guide, Katie, was awesome - friendly and lots of fun. The heated bus was a great way to see the city (and stay warm!). It was a blast visiting all the spots seen on the show. My favorite was drinking a cosmo at Aidan and Steve's bar, and eating the delicious cupcakes from Buttercup Bakery!! :)

This was close to a waste of time. Not only was the bus very late-standing in 10 degree weather waiting was not fun-but the whole trip kind of sucked. You get to visit a few places for about 15 minutes (Scout, the stoop, a shop...) but the main portion of the trip is just a little finger pointing at a few places. The tiny bits of video shown were not well coordinated with what we were looking at-not edited well at all. There was no 'insight' into the show-anything she said could have been found on a website. We really didnt see that much-a lot of the trip you sit in silence. We were really disappointed.

The best part of the tour was the warm bus, which was the point (it was a sub-zero day), so I can't say it was a complete waste of time. But it would have been on any other day of the year. Due to an accident on the bridge, the bus was 45 minutes late, so we waited in the freezing wind (and then in the Plaza lobby) and got a late start. The tour guide, a not-terribly-bright aspiring actress, was neither clever nor charming -- she just stood there smiling, rattling off inane trivia from the show ("who can tell me what a 'goody drawer' is?"), passing out a recipe for Cosmopolitans and pointing to storefront shooting locations as they whizzed past. She wasn't really a tour guide at all (except for these few duties she was otherwise silent) and seemed to know nothing about the actual production of the show or the creative process of its writers and actors (her idea of inside information was of the gossip variety, i.e., that Sarah Jessica Parker found out she was pregnant on the day they shot that scene). Most of the three hours are spent watching pirated excerpts of the show on the bus video monitors (to see the NYC locations you have just whizzed by, or will whiz by later) and stopping at prearranged locations for half an hour at a time (sex toy store, clothing store, bar) to disembark en masse and shop with a 10% tour discount. With an hour of the tour left, I got off in Soho and didn't get back on. Like most arranged tourist events, it may be harmless enough, but it leaves you feeling like a chump.

The activity was good, it showed us some interesting sites from sex in the city, Carrie's stoop was great, and visiting steve and aiden's bar was great, great cosmo's. i would recomend this trip to those who have a good knowledge of sex in the city and enjoy the show

Thought the tour guide had a lot of positive energy. Enjoyed the cupcakes. Once it got dark while driving through the city we couldnt see much outside (even the city lights) because the bus' interior lights were on. I would reccomend turning those off to better enjoy the end of the tour.

I really enjoyed the tour. I do however, think that writing a brief description would be appropriate so when people contemplate buying tickets they know what they are buying tickets for.

We didn't get to see the spots that the girls are always at. Just places where they were at one time.
