| The Sex in the City tour on 11/15/08 was wonderful and our tour guide was entertaining! It is perfect for a group of girl friends and for any Sex in the City fan. However, was disappointed that we did not get to go on the steps of Carrie's apartment. I had a friend that did the tour last year and they got to take pictures on the steps so I was really looking forward to that! Other than that, great tour! |

| My husband & I went to NY, & I was dying to go on the tour but was worried he'd be bored (he doesn't watch SATC)...he was very sweet & came with me - and we both loved it! Even for him even though he's not a fan, the guide showed clips of SATC to show where we were & where the sights appeared in the show so it gave everyone a sense of knowing which was great!
The guide was fantastic (Sandy) - she was a great laugh and made us all feel very comfortable & relaxed! You must be prepared for some swearing & such - very SATC & all in good fun!
The great thing is SATC is filmed on location all round NY so you see loads, and the tour guide knows loads of inside gossip about the characters & show - e.g. the day Sarah Jessica Parker found out she was expecting etc... where Kristen buys her bed linen & where to get it cheaper!
We stopped at The Pleasure Chest where Charlotte bought her rabbit - great fun! We ate cup-cakes at the Magnolia Bakery where Miranda & Carrie eat them (free & yum-my!) & then we had a drink in Steve & Aiden's bar Scout, where we got a reduced rate on Cosmopolitans ($9 instead of $14 plus say a dollar for the waitor).
You are also given a brochure with all the addresses in so that you can go back to the locations if you want - my husband & I went back to the A.O.C cafe that evening - the cafe where Carrie has a date with the 'bird man'!!
Another great thing - the A.O.C cafe is on the corner of Grove Street, Greenwich Village and down there is the Friends building! No Central Perk sadly, but a gorgeous little bistro... we went in there too!
You also stop at thw HBO store at the end, and by showing your tour brochure get 10% discount on lots of things....
I would (& my husband!) would really recommend it - great value for money!
Have fun xxx |

| Our tour of Sex and the City hotspots was absolutely fabulous. Our tour guide, Sandy, was wonderful and had knowledge that even the best SATC fan wouldn't know! Great way to see parts of the city too. Would go again! |

| The tour was fantastic. A great and unusual way to familiarise yourself with this fascinating city. Hot spots that would probably have gone unnoticed were brought to the fore in this lively, funny and insightful introduction to Carrie's world.
Our tour guide Amy was fabulous with her self depreciating humour and tales of liaisons with the stars.
Oh and the cup cakes are to die for!
Go, go, go you won't regret it. |

| The tour was absolutely fantastic and my tour guide was hilarious. The format is perfect - although it could be improved by including one of the external locations for Carrie's flat.
I would have appreciated more time at the Magnolia Bakery / Fresh as by the time I queued up at the bakery I only had time to dash in and out of Fresh. This meant I had to go back separately to buy the things I wanted. |

| I absolutely LOVED this tour. The tour guide was a hoot and I enjoyed seeing the clips of the tv show and movie along with the actual place it was filmed. I loved the stop at Scout (Aidan and Steve's bar) for cosmos and the stop to Magnolia bakery was fun, too. The only complaints that I might have would be that the tour was scheduled to start at 10 and when I purchased the tickets I was told to be there 15 minutes early, which me and my friend were. There was one bus there at 10 but since there was too many of us to fit on it...we had to wait for a 2nd bus...IN THE POURING RAIN. It took at least another 20-30 minutes for our bus to arrive. I understand that there are always issues with traffic in NYC (which is why they said the bus was late) but if you tell your customers that the bus will leave at 10....MAKE SURE IT DOES!!! The only other complaint is that we didn't get to go by "Carrie's apartment". I am not sure why this is and I meant to ask the tour guide but didn't get the chance. It would have been a nice addition to the tour. Overall, this tour was one of the highlights of my trip to NYC and I really DO highly recommend! |

| Our guide Amy was absolutely lovely. She made the trip of course but all the sights were fun to explore. Could have done without the sex store but was not offended by it in any way.
The only hectic moment was when we arrived at the Fountain (meeting place) and it wasn't very clear which group to join. That could be improved.
Thanks for a great trip, it was my daughters 20 birthday and she had a blast. |

| First off we had the best tour guide, Amy. She was delightful, energentic, fun and very knowledgeable of the SATC show. We loved seeing the locations, the trip to the bar for Cosmos, Magnolia Bakery and "toy" store.
I would for sure go again next visit to NYC! |

Highly Recommended!

| Great trip for fanatics of SATC or even the ones that aren't into SATC! My girlfriend who just never got into SATC went with us and greatly enjoyed the tour! |
