| Everything was very hurried. Miscommunication regarding the bus led to a 20 delay in beginning the tour. I assume that is what caused everything to be so rushed. I'm sure it is not that hectic all the time and I do recommend the tour. The bus trip and views of sites you might not otherwise see are worth the $30. |

| very disorganized at the beginning. Bus driver was in a hurry to make up for lost time. at the stops customers would stay gone longer than the allotted time and the tour guide did not want to leave anyone behind. We ended up leaving the tour early due to frustration and the tour guide apologized and said she understood. |

| I thought the Sex and the city tour provided a welcome break from the standard sight seeing city trip. It took you to areas that as a tourist (with limited time) you may not have otherwise ventured to. For example, The meat packing district, Grenwich Village and Soho where the real newyorkers live. I would recommend the tour to other visitors, but at $70:00 dollars (for two people), had the exchange rate been less favourable to the Ģ it would have been an expensive three hours. I also think the tour would benefit from being organised in smaller groups, creating a more intimate and exclusive experience, particularly as the bus had difficulty navigating the narrow streets and the shops we visited were small. However, overall I did enjoy the tour and as a first time visitor to the city, it was a great expereince. I am hoping to catch the Badda Bing tour on my next visit! |

| It was the first time that I visited New York and the first time I made a tour like that. Ecpezially for a foreigner it is very interesting to see all the places where SATC plays. The most I liked was to see the neighbourhood Carry lives and to drink a Cosmo in Steves bar. The less I liked was that I havenīt seen the Manolo Blanik store and that the group was so big.
Over all it was fun. |

| It was fun, though I would have liked to have seen more places (like where is that place that the girls always have brunch?), and I thought we were going to get more inside scoop on all of the actors on the show. there were a lot of silences that I thought could have been filled with music from the show, more clips, or more narration from the tour guide. Also, there should have been room for everyone to sit - these two women next to me had to stand and then I couldn't see out of the right side of the bus. But overall, it was definitely something to do if you love the show. |

| Overall, very enjoyable. But the company seems a bit disorganized - we waited for over 1/2 an hour (in chilly, windy conditions!) for our bus to arrive. The tour guides were on their cell phones, trying to determine where our bus was. Eventually, they determined that the bus was in fact right in front of us and had been the entire time. This was an unpleasant way to begin our adventure, but the tour guide did a wonderful job of raising everyone's spirits once we were on our way. All in all, a good time. |

| I thought the trip was just OK, but I would not recommend it to anyone. The bus was crowded and included a young preschool child sitting behind us. I thought this was very inappropriate due to the subject matter and language that was used. Children should not be allowed on this tour. At the last stop, where the Cosmopolitans were served, I was shocked that we were charged $7 a piece for them. They were not large or good. My first one had a bug in it! The bartender told me just to take another and did not seem particularly concerned. I think it would help if the tour included some token takeaway gift or at least a free (or reasonably priced) drink. Yes, there was a free cupcake, but it was a cupcake! Our tour guide was grating and admitted she had just started two months ago. She seemed very rehearsed. She also said some parody prayer about shopping to the tune of the Our Father, that was not funny! No one laughed. Finally, we got back late and had to change a dinner reservation. I was glad when it was over and would have preferred to spend four hours in Manhattan doing something else. I am not the type of person to complain, but this tour did not meet my expectations. I wish I had the opportunity to read a review like this prior to getting on that bus. |

| Good inside knowledge of the programme and the locations used in Manhattan. Balance of on and off coach activity. 4 stop offs along the ways including drinks and photo opportunities. Lively host who was very into SATC and all the facts surrounding the programme and the actors. |

| If you are a Sex and the City fan and you are not too familiar with NYC, this is a fun way of seeing the city. The stops are not interesting unless you are in a small group, but the guide is well prepared and inspiring. |
