| Whilst recently in New York, I attended a Sex and the City tour. I enjoyed the concept of the tour and the places that were visited. The tour guide was Amy. Whilst witty and funny, I did not care for her language. On occasion during the tour, she did not explain about the locations until after we had visited them. This caused me to miss several photo opportunities I wanted and I had to go back to certain places which limited my time for other activities in New York. I would recommed this tour for Sex and the City fans and encourage people to get there early to ensure a good seat on the bus. |

| Three of us attended this tour and absolutely LOVED it!!! Two of us are avid fans of Sex and the City and have followed the show since Season 1. Our other friend had only seen the movie but loved the tour b/c it included clips from all 6 seasons, so she didn't feel entirely left out.
Our guide, Emily, was wonderful...we couldn't have asked for a better hostess. She was very energetic, knowlegeable about the show and movie, and shared her own opinions and observations with us. She engaged us all by asking trivia questions and getting us all involved as if we knew each character.
The actual tour was great b/c we got to see the actual locations where the show and movie took place. It was surreal to see where Samantha lived, in the meat packing district and where Charlotte's gallery was....even Aiden's store! THis was my second time in NYC, and I was able to see parts of New York that I may not have otherwise explored (Soho, Little Italy, etc.)
After completing the tour, I have a totaly new perspective on the show and can't wait to rewatch all 6 of the Seasons, and look more closely at the details and surroundings. So many times, we get so caught up on the characters, that we miss the important things around them!
I will definitely recommend this tour to ANY Sex and the City fan. |

| The tour begins with excitement, enthusiasm and great anticipation of a fun time, which it is....for awhile. The tour goes down hill after the cupcake stop, specifically beginning with the stop in the 'designers' block. Didn't understand that stop at all. Tour leader's enthusiasm for her subject and use of "Carrie speech pattern" began to wane at the same time. The stop for Cosmos''s was a let down with 50+ pre-mxed, pre-poured room temperature cosmos's lined up on the bar with 50 + people jamming in.....to each make payment of $9 'and don't forget to tip'. I'm so confident that stop could be improved upon.
Throughout tour, use of F word was overworked and wearisome. |

| I thought we would have seen the location for Carrie's apartment and where they had brunch on Sunday Mornings. Those were two locations that were skipped! The tour bus was great...the time given when you are able to stop is a bit short...you are kind of constantly checking your watch...
3.5 Hours does go by fast! When I got to the meeting place there was no blue flag...there was a guy with a blue shirt on! You deff get to see a lot of the West Village and SOHO...so if you are unfamiliar with the area's it is a good tour. |

| I wasn't very happy about the tour. They didn't even show us where everyone lived, like it said they do on the website when I ordered the tickets. The stops weren't that great, could have picked better destinations. I thought we would see more. The buses were nice and clean which was nice. The tour was way too long and sorta boring. |

| Blisteringly hot weather, so A/C was appreciated, and tour overall fine, but a few complaints:
no photo opportunity outside Carrie's house as before - VERY disappointed about that - instead, tour of meatpacking district, made to get out, wander about designer stores, which we could do on our own in cooler weather...
no toilet paper on board bus - this really should have been checked, and nor was problem rectified.
tourguide lovely, and braving the heat well, but did go on too much about her own escapades, getting trashed etc - really not interested in her life but that of actors from show - someone needs to tell Miss Stacey this. More factual info about show, the city itself would have been more useful/enjoyable. |

| Get to the meeting site early so you are first in line. Sit in the front on the left (your original seats are where you sit the whole time). |
