| This was the 3rd OnLocation tour that I've taken (I've done Sex and the City as well as The Sopranos).
having had such a wonderful experience on those tours, I was afraid that this tour may not prove to be as enjoyable, as it was not specifically geared to a show/movie that I knew I enjoyed.
This tour proved to be just as much fun as the others and it is apparent that On Location is very selective when hiring their tour guides.
Our guide, Roseanne, is an actress who also works for On Location. She not only had the information and trivia you would expect from such a tour, she is just a really fun, enjoyable person to spend an afternoon with.
We had a small snafu in which a tiny car hit our bus. While we were delayed for a few minutes, both Roseanne and our driver, Sung Choy (my apologies if misspelled) handled the situation with grace and professionalism. None of us minded that the tour ran over time because we had such a good time!
This is most definitely worth the time and money if you want a more generalized tour. if you want something geared toward one show specifically, the Sex and the City and Sopranos tours are also well worth it. |

| The tour was one of the highlights of our NY trip. A lot of info was packed into the three and a half tour and the stops were well timed to stretch our legs, check out some famous landmarks and get a slice of Pizza. Our knowledgable guide was great fun and kept the energy level up for the entire trip. Worth your time and money. |

I would recommend this tour :)

| I enjoyed seeing the different places in which films and tv programmes have been filmed. It made me feel closer to the programmes. I Was expecting an open top bus although i believe that was my fault and not the companies as they had not mentioned it before. We went around on an air conditioned bus and we were still able to see the different locations although there was a lot of information at once and we didn't have very much time to take photos as the bus was moving. We did stop a few times at certain locations and i liked these opportunities to have photographs taken. I enjoyed my time on the tour and i would recommend this to family and friends. |

| I am from London, love movies and the movie glamour that New York has so I thought why not give this tour a go and guess what the movie tour is soooo good!! If you like movies and everything that comes with it your love the tour. Yes we saw the locations of many movies but we also were told interesting little stories, personal stories (regarding the film industry of course) from the tour leader (Jessie), he pointed out who lives where in some of the apartments that we passed. Interesting facts about streets e.g. millionaire mile and so on, so I felt we got a lot for our money and very detailed too. You get shown clips on the bus between travelling to spots and in traffic so you can relate a location to the film. We were lucky enough to go past filming in progress in times square and get an explanation as to what each trailer is for....what they need....how much it costs etc....I can't explain how much I loved this tour. It was the perfect length of time (3.5hours) even though I could have listened longer to all the stories. Jessie (tour guide) made it fun by singing songs, telling jokes and making funny comments so I highly recommend this tour for movie lovers. |

| Hello guys, we did this amazing adventure on our honeymoon. We came to New York the first time (we are from Germany). Jessica our tour guide was really a wonderful and lovely presenter of this tour. She has spoken clearly und professionell. And it was really fun. Most exitend places for us, she let us stay there a while and took pictures for and with us. The tour was really recomandable und she should go on keep doing it. Have a nice time folks.

| We really enjoyed this tour and always think that this depends greatly on your tour guide. Jessica was our guide and she was really friendly, knowledgable and was always inviting quesitons, plus she was happy to take photos at the tour stops. Everything ran very smoothly. It was great to see so many TV and movie locations and hear some 'inside' information about how shows are put together. We would also recomend this tour to first time visitors to New York as it provides a snapshot of the various neighbourhoods in the city. We saw some areas we had not been to before and this was our 5th visit to New York. |

| This was an incredible tour with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. Well worth the money for a 3-1/2 hour tour around NYC. The bus was comfortable and air conditioned. The bus driver was able to navigate all of the streets, which is not an easy task. It was a wonderful, enjoyable day.
Highly recommend to all! |
