| The tour is quite good fun, but very expensive for what you actually get. Our tour guide was hopeless though, very knowledgable but couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery! Our second stop in the village we were told to follow her off the bus to go to a few choice locations. However, she marched off the bus not waiting for the everyone to follow. This meant that by the time those of us seated at the back of the bus got off she had buggered off! We had to wander round on our own trying to find her. Then she failed to do a head count and left us behind! I had to call the tour operator, find out where the next stop was and jump in a cab to meet them there! To make matters worse she didn't apologise to us and then seemed upset when we didn't tip her at the end of the tour! |

| Quite fun, with a great tour leader. We thought it was too long -- could've spent much less time at the stops. Don't think the pleasure chest is worth it at all and we are not prudes. Only a few on the bus got into it at all......but then we had to rush out of the bar stop, which was much better. Thanks -- very good! |

| The timing and route of the tour is perfect especially with the video clips - great job! With tours like these the hosts can get a little cheesy, but the hostess was entertaining but not overly so. However, I think the host needs to be a little more organized when departing the bus especially when having to walk short distances like to O'Neills or Magnolias. She just went ahead without waiting for everyone to get off the bus, so we lost sight of her several times. As a local, I had no problem but I can see tourists getting completely lost and on our tour, we lost 4 people along the way. |

| It rained on our tour, but it was still very fun. The bus was very full and we ran into several other buses, so there were loss of pepole. |

| This was a fun tour that was well worth the $40. It is not for the easily offended, though. Hearing the "Our Father" with sexual tones was a little uncomfortable. I thought our guide was great and the cupcakes awaiting us was a nice touch. Getting the tickets online was very easy and I had a question which was answered immediately. All in all, a fun way to spend a few hours. |

| I booked the tour for 5 of my friends as part of a NYC Bachelorette party. The 5 of us are from the Boston area and aren't too familiar with NYC and really liked taking a tour through the different neighborhoods this way. It was great to see the culture of NYC verses the history. We loved the tour however we were getting restless - we would of loved to get out and take a look into some of the shops and resturants along the way . Great tour though. |

| When my 2 girlfriends and I were thinking about doing this tour, we thought maybe 3 1/2 hours would be too long but it wasn't. The whole tour was hilarious and time flew so fast. It rained that day but that did not affect the trip one bit.
Our tour guide was Lindsay and she was a RIOT!!! I've read lots of great reviews about the other guides. Lindsay was so enthusiastic and knew how to 'work the crowd'.
We passed lots of great scenes used for the series AND the movie. We got $9 cosmos at the bar that was used for Aiden & Steve's bar, Scout. The cupcakes at Magnolia was the BEST. Lindsay had 5 extra cupcakes towards the end of the tour so she did a trivia game and whoever got the right answers got a cupcake. I answered one correctly and got an extra ~ woohoo!!
As previously mentioned, you don't stop at Carrie's brownstone. After all the other fabulous stops, it didn't really matter.
I highly recommend this tour even if you aren't too familiar w/the show. My friend's sister joined us and she didn't watch the show. After this tour, she's going to rent ALL the dvds ~ she loved it as did we.
Thank you, Zerve & OnLocation! |

| I do not recommend going alone as everyone was in groups or couples and noone made an effort to talk to me or include me when we made our stops at the cupcake place or the bar. Perhaps I just caught an unfriendly group?! |

| My wife and I had a great time on the tour- I was one of two men on the tour (took my wife for her birthday) and the tour guide made me feel right at home with all of the women. Went to a lot of interesting places and saw a lot of sights from the show and movie-- It was well worth the cost of the ticket |

| It was well orchestrated and the tour guide was excellent! I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see different parts of NYC that you would not normally see. |
