Wonderful guide - filthy bathroom

| The tour started over thirty minutes late due to overbooking. Once it got underway it was discovered that the guide's microphone wasn't working properly. This was extremely annoying because she would start to say something and would be cut off so we couldn't hear the end of the comment. This went on for quite some time until we got to the Plaza Hotel where she finally received a working microphone.
Our guide, Roseanne, was wonderful and very entertaining with her facts and figures, etc. so all in all the tour was very enjoyable. The tour is good but the key to how much passengers enjoy it is the guide and in Roseanne we definitely had an excellent one.
Aside from the technical glitch with the mic, the worst part of the whole tour was the bathroom on the bus. It obviously had not been cleaned for who knows how long and it was disgusting. The minute one of the passengers opened the door to go into it, the smell permeated the whole bus and was extremely offensive. Unfortunately for those of us in the back half of the bus, this kept happening throughout the tour and every passenger that used the bathroom came out complaining about how filthy it was. It definitely distracted from the tour and there is no excuse for such unacceptable conditions. I would hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone based solely on the unhygenic and unpleasant condition of the bathroom on the bus. I would hope that in future you will strive to ensure that the facilities are completely sanitized at the start of every tour. |

| Tour guide was good and informative, not just about movies but all aspects of New York. |

| I was unable to register "excellent" for some reason in answer to the first question but that is how I would describe the tour. The tour leader was lively, entertaining and knowledgeable. Obviously not all one's favourite films and shows were included but there was a fair cross section which would interest people from England as well as the USA. In addition there was the opportunity, en- route, to see lesser known parts of NY. A particularly good activity for a very cold day! Good value for the price. |

| We had a great time! We especially loved the tv/movie clips on the bus as it gives you an immediate comparison of what you've seen on the screen versus the actual location. I think the only thing we wanted more of is actual stops where you can get off of the bus to take pictures. It's hard to get some pictures when you're driving by! |

| We went on this tour because we saw it on the web on a site recomending activities for teens in NYC. It wasn't as interesting as we had hoped. There were no other teens or kids on the tour. It would have been better for us if we had been big fans of the TV show "Friends" and "Seinfeld". The tour guide spent a lot of time asking trivia questions about those two shows and some others. Movie clips were shown as we went by some of the locations. It was OK, I think my daughter was a little bored. |

| Quite enjoyable. Guide very good. Hard to see the clips and look out the coach window at the same time. More stops would have been appreciated. |
