| Premise of the activity was great-- we were so excited for it! However, the tour guide proved to be slightly boring and somewhat unorganized. She was not particularly engaging and at various points during the tour lost track of her speech and the video clips of the show. She was not terrible, but did not make our experience particularly memorable.
Great idea to incorporate various elements into the tour--cupcakes, visting the stores, going to see Carrie's stoop,etc.
I did not feel that there was enough 'behind the scenes' info about the show, the stars, etc. The information we received from our guide, by and large, was information that could be gleaned from just watching the videa clips provided. After the tour, I did not feel as though I was a much more informed viewer of Sex in the City. It would have been fun to feel like I had gotten a real 'behind the scenes' glimpse of how the show is made, including discussions about the difficulties of shooting in NYC, how the actors were chosen, how ideas for the show were formed.
Also, the clips should be shown BEFORE arriving at the different locations so that one has a clear mental picture of what to expect. Our tour guide showed the clips AFTER we visited the locations, which seemed a little pointless to me.
I would recommend this activity to someone else but with reservation -- I believe that my experience could have been much better with a more organized, engaging, and interesting tour guide. |

| It was good fun, though kitsch. I really enjoyed it. The tour guide was very entertaining and certainly put a lot of effort into making sure we had a good time. I think it helps if you are a fan of the programme because you understand more of the references and jokes, but one of our party isn't a regular viewer and she enjoyed the tour too. It's also a good way of seeing New York, particularly Greenwich and West Villages and the Meatpacking District. I'd definitely recommend it for a light-hearted fun way of seeing New York. |

| This was a great activity and we would have done it again had we had the time. We enjoyed the tour stops and the driver and Trisha(our host) were great fun as well. It was interesting that the event was being filmed for CNN and we would have liked the opportunity to find a way to get a copy of the recording of that day. If this is possible I would be interested in purchasing a copy as a memento of our wonderful day out.
It would also be good to offer a night time tour of several of the bars or clubs that the 'girls' went to in the series and have a night out 'a la Sex and the City'.
What was also great it was a great way to see the city and be given the addresses so that we could revisit if we wanted to, but have an idea of where we were going and what to look out for. Well done for a first class tour.

| Lots of information and locations, some passing too fast to see properly. Excerpts shown on the TV's should be synchronized with the location, not some time later. Enthusiastic guide. Excellent cup cakes! The stops were a bit rushed and I would like more of them. For serious Sex and The City fans only!! |

| It was a good overview to SATC in New York. We went just before the last ever episode of SATC and so were filmed the whole time which we had not been told beforehand and which left us out in the cold when we were waiting for them to finsih interviewing. This detracted from the tour.
We could have done with more enthusiasm from the guide first-up as the whole group was lacking in spirit for quite a while.
I love SATC so I overall loved the tour but definitely felt it could have been better |

| The idea behind the tour was a good one and the stop off points throughout were chosen carefully. However unfortunately it was not as good as what we had hoped (and expected after being very satisfied with the Manhattan TV and Movie Tour, conducted by the same company). The guide was quite disorganised and initially left the video, showing different scenes from the show that were relevant to particular places we would pass, running so we weren't sure whether to listen to her and look out the window or to watch the screen in front of us. Eventually she realised it was still playing and stopped it but there were then problems with getting it going at all again. Finally the bus driver managed to resurrect the problem and the tape was started at the very beginning again. This was irritating as in addition to watching the same footage again. when we finally saw the scenes for places we were passing, we had already passed them over half an hour ago so they were no longer relevant. We also felt that the guide spoke a little too much about herself rather than using the time more wisely to catch up on the clips we had missed. This led to us not seeing all of the clips for the places we passed before we finished the tour. I realise that this would be a somewhat challenging thing to do but given that our guide on the Manhattan Tv and Movie Tour had managed, we thought the same would have happened on this tour. Overall, I think the idea of the tour with the clips and the stop off points is a good one but the guides should perhaps become more experienced with the equipment they are using and time management for the tour in order for people to get the most out of it. |

| Overall I enjoyed the tour, it would have been a bit better to extend the time allowed at certain venues, but the guide was informative & fun. |
