| My girlfriends and I recently visited NYC as a part of our birthday celebrations. We have all been longtime SATC fans and had heard great things about this tour. Our experience completely surpassed our expectations! From our outgoing hostess to the sites to the cupcakes to the cosmos - it was all fantastic! What was really great about the actual bus part of the tour was how they played clips from the shows/movie right before you arrived at each location to help you visualize the characters there. The only negative thing about the tour was that sometimes the driver flew by locations too fast making for some blurry photos. But all in all it was wonderful - a great experience for fans and an easy way to see the city! |

| This tour was somewhat fun and it was great to see many areas of the city but there are a few things that should be improved.
1) The tour lasts 3.5 hours and even for the most enthusiastic STC fan, can get a little too long. This is mostly because there are several featured locations and many have little significance in the show. I think the tour should remove the less important areas and decrease the overall length.
2) The tour bus had some significant issues with the audio/video system. The volume was very loud and crackled when the guide spoke and the video clips didn't always show properly. Both became annoying after 3.5 hours.
3) My biggest complaint with my experience is regarding the "Sex and the City Movie 2 rumor portion" of the tour. The tour guide encouraged everyone to shout out what rumors they had heard about the upcoming movie. This was very frustrating because I did not want the movie plot spoiled for me, and because of the excessive volume of the tour guide, the spoiler information was impossible to ignore. This left me very disappointed with the tour. |

| The Sex and the City Tour was a blast! Our tour guide was a gem -- very funny, friendly, and entertaining. A very thorough tour that hits many hotspots from SATC with all the great background stories to match. It was a great way to experience different areas of the city. This tour is a MUST for gal pals! It was a highlight of our trip. |

| The tour guide Amy was exceptional - great energy and really a super tour!
Loved it and really really enjoyed it!
only disappointment was that the video did not work - and I think the clips would have really added to the tour as we could have seen where the girls were! |

| It was a great tour! showing the film parts and see the locations was great. Getting a overview about New York was also interesting and the best thing, was the really nice and funny person, who was running the tour!
If i´m in New York again, I will take part in the tour again and show it to some friends.
Thank you |

| If you are a fan of the show and want to see the real-life locations used for some of the episodes, then you will enjoy the tour. I enjoyed watching the clips of the show, then seeing where that scene was shot. I would improve the tour by perhaps showing locations that are more interesting than Barnes & Noble and other more commercial places that most of us have been in. Because this tour is on a closed bus (not a double-decker as I thought) it is hard to take pictures or sometimes even get a glimpse of the building that is being pointed out by the tour guide. I would not recommend this tour as a way of getting to see the city, because you only see very select areas and the only history you get is how it pertains to SATC. Overall, I enjoyed the stops (the cupcakes are great!) and Lou was a very enthusiastic guide. She did her absolute best to make sure we got to see everything and even had inside scoops about the making of the show. If you're in NYC and a fan of SATC, go on the tour. |

| This was a highlight of my trip.
I met the tour group by the Fountain across from the Plaza Hotel, near Central Park. Traveling as a single, I was asked--and accepted--a seat behind the bus driver, and adjacent to the tour guide. Since "Lou", our wonderful guide, never sat, I had the perfect , and unobstructed view that most bus passengers don't get. Thanks, Lou!
Our tour was through the neighborhoods of Central Park, Chelsea, Greenwich Village, SOHO, Meatpacking district, etc...Interspersed with many location shoots from both the series and the movie were fun 'pop quizzes' about the show, off-bus visits to Magnolia Bakery, a Sex Toy store and the bar location of "Scouts"--supposedly owned by Aiden and Steve, in the TV series. During the drive between locations were clips from the show and movie, that effectively previewed or transitioned one site to the next. Never a dull moment, we were constantly entertained by locations, clips on the media screens in the bus, and entertaining info about the show, movie and upcoming movie.
The guide, Lou, is both knowledgable, hilarious and helpful. Our group consisted of visitors from UK, France, Iceland, Canada, Japan and Americans. All shared the common bond of the Sex and the City TV show and movie. Lou is also knowledgable about specific shopping areas, and suggested a great store with discounted designer clothing, Century 21.
The next day, I used that information from the tour, and was able to spend more dedicated time to my own shopping pursuits.
Overall, this was a great tour: hilarious, enjoyable and informative. I only wish I didn't finish my Cosmopolitan drink, as I became rather sleepy that afternoon!
Thank you so much, Lou! |

| Our tour guide, Lou, was fantastic and very funny. I would absolutely recommend the tour to friends/family...worth every penny (although not expensive at all). |
