| unfortunately, the weather was not good. the tour should not be offered from 3-6 p.m., it should start earlier. this time of year. it gets dark early (4:30-4:45) and falls right into rush hour traffic. we did however, enjoy our tour guide. she was cute and full of personality! the bus was also good. very clean and comfortable. i would still recommend this tour, in the spring/summer, not winter. |

| Bus windows were foggy. Could NOT see outside to view the sites. and the bus was 45 minutes late.The mic didn't work at times. The video clips were loud then barely audible. O'neils, the bar we were suppose to have Cosmos at was closed for a private party. At that point we were so frustrated and bored we just gave up and took the subway back to the hotel. A total waste of money. The night was miserable. The tour should have been cancelled. The guide was very nice and tried very hard to overcome the shortcomings of the night |

| I was extremely excited to be going on the Sex in the City tour however, when we turned up (as requested) 15 minutes early, the bus and tour guide were both running late. This meant that we had to stand out in the freezing cold and it was snowing waiting (this was the Friday before the blizzard) for the bus. When we finally got on the bus and the microphone that the tour guide was using wasn't working properly. I guess the snow played a significant cause to the traffic that we sat in for a long time. Finally we were meant to go to the bar for cocktails and when we got there they wouldn't let us in and said it was closed for a private function. I just feel that the whole tour could have been better organised, that the bus could have left earlier to get to the pick up point on time and that for the money you pay it wasn't worth it. Unfortunatley I will not be recommending this to my friends. |

| We felt the tour was somewhat disappointing. The tour went ahead despite the poor weather conditions (it had snowed heavily the day before), which resulted in us being unable to enjoy most of the stops. This coupled with us being unable to get into one of the locations due to a ‘private function’ resulted in us feeling somewhat deflated. I would not recommend this tour to friends visiting New York in future. |

| I was recommended the trip by a collegue, however, it did not live up to my expectations. The weather was bad and we could not get off the bus, which is obviously uncontrolable, but i think that the tour should have been cancelled as we were unable to see may of the spots and were only able to get off at the sex shop. The main thing we could have done would have been to have a cocktail, but one of the bars was not expecting us and the bar at the final stop was not open. The tour guide was very informative and I enjoyed the clips from the show. Overall, however, I was disappointed by the trip and would not recommend it on my experince. |

| I recommend the tour---however, it could have been coordinated much better. For example, the clips shown on the bus TV should have been shown prior to the point of interest, then point out the spot as shown--needs to be more info on details of filming,etc. Just asking questions to see who in the biggest fan on the bus is not much of a tour. |

| It was alot of fun to see all of the places I always see and hear about on Sex and the City. There was bad weather conditions, however, which limited some of the things we got to do/see, but that was understandable. |

| I would never recomend this tour, ity was a waste of time. I appreciate that the weather was not great but the only thing that was "Sex and the City" was the video tape being played on the bus. I booked this on the basis that we would go into the shoe shops i.e Jimmy Choo (the tour girl did not even point this out when we went past it!). Also I expected to have at least one drink in a bar from the hit show, but this was not to be, the first bar had a christmas party in and could not accomodate us, this should not have been allowed to happen if the tour was organinsed properly and the second bar TAO was closed, great advise from your Rep. I was thoroughly disappointed as I was really looking forward to this tour and it was the worst one I had ever been on and I have told people since coming back not to go on it as it is a waste of money. I would welcome your feedback if I am to change my mind on this. |

| To my mind, as a French tourist,this activity was very interesting...We finally discover the places where folks in Sex & the City go during the show!It was so exciting!But, in the same time, I must say that we had bad luck for our tour...it was during such a snowy week-end...so we couldn't have done everything that was proposed at the beginning, given it was a real traffic jam in NY...Nevertheless, we really enjoyed the tour, since we saw a lot of such beautiful places in Manhattan(especially Soho&Greenwich village!) |

| It was an extremely cold day and I was thrilled to be on a heated bus. The moderator made the city and the sites come alive. It was one of the highlights of the trip. I would highly recommend this to anyone. |
