| The best thing about this tour is the video clips that accompany each venue, it really
helps you get a context for what you are seeing. The three times you are left to 'wander' -sex shop, west village and bar are a waste of time and would be much better if they were facilitated by the tour guide. The visit to the sex shop is gratuitous and tacky. The bus is comfortable and clean and you get a really good taste of NYC.I would however start the last tour of the day earlier because by the time we finished it was dark and it was really difficult to see what the guide was pointing out. The guide was engaging and informed and tried her best to get the crowd participating. I did however think the tour had a bit of a down market feel... I think that given most of the guides are actresses...what would have made this tour excellent would have been a guide dressed up and acting in character..like someone from the show, giving us a real inside scoop. Failing that they could at least dress up a bit more.....so it has a more glitzy feel to it .
The one thing I will say is that for the price, you get a good 3 and a half hour tour which is very good value for money. |

| Even though I didn't watch Sex and the City we enjoyed the tour. Stacy was very funny and kept us laughing. We had initially signed up for the Movie Sites Tour .My son wasn't suppose to fly in to the next day and ended up getting an earlier flight so I had to change the tour a later time and the only choice was the Sex and the City Tour. Needless to say since we were taking my husband and son to this tour wasn't sure if they would enjoy the tour being that my son's girlfriend was the only one that was familiar with the show and movie. We enjoyed seeing different parts of New York that we hadn't seen. I would recommend especially for the diehard Sex and City fans. |

| My girlfriend and I took this tour near the end of our trip and we wished we had taken it first as it gives you an idea of other things you'd like to while visiting NYC (but we'll have to save it for the next trip).
Our tour guide was fantastic! she was knowledgeable, gave tips on some great shopping spots and fun! The tour has a little bit of everything food, sex, drinks and shopping! If you're a fan of the show you'll get to see the different places that they ate, shot famous scenes etc. this is not you're standard bus tour, before you know it the 3.5 hour tour is over.
The only disappointment was the Magnolia cupcakes - as nice as it was for the tour company to provide the cupcakes, they tasted stale and dry. We weren't sure if they actually tasted that way or if they were pre-purchased (and when) but I would have rather stood inline to buy a fresh cupcake - but the line up is crazy at Magnolia Bakery and we wouldn't really have had time. |

| I can honestly say that this tour was fantastic.
We saw so many hotspots my husband even enjoyed it.
The information we also received after the tour was excellent as it enabled us to visit some more social hotspots.
Our tour guide was amazing, informative and made the experience a memorable day.
You go girls. |

| I really enjoyed the tour. I am a big fan of the show and a trip to New York would not have been complete without the Sex and the city tour! I went on my own but met a fellow tourist on the tour and we enjoyed our cosmos and cupcakes together! It was great fun. I would really recommend it. Nice way to see neighburhoods of New York that you may not otherwise have a chance to see and a must if you are a fan of the show! |

| Last week was my first time in NY. I was looking forward to the experience but I was obsessing over the SATC tour. I had a heavy schedule with Fashion Week, as I am a writer for a magazine abroad and managed to fit in the tour on my last day. It was amazing, seeing all those places and locations. However, the one thing I was looking forward to never happened: it specifically says on the brochure, online and on paper, that the tour includes Carrie's apartment. For whatever reason, I never saw the outside of the apartment. Our tour ended at Scout, the bar. It was a huge disppointment and dampened my spirits. If you have no intention in including this location, REMOVE IT from your tantalising brochures and stop promising what you cannot deliver. |

| Overall, enjoyable day. I think it would be best to have more time at the pub - it was too rushed. Also, your advertisement should note that the return drop off is not the same location as the departure. Thanks for a fun day! |
