| It was OK, but should have ended sooner (about an hour and a half sooner). The tour guide was obviously an aspiring actress, who grated on our nerves till the end. |

| this was a good side trip. The presenter was very enthusiatic. Unfornunately, she spent more time talking about NYC tah
than showing us actual movie/show scenes, which is why we signed up for the tour. |

| I was severely disappointed with this tour. Firstly it was mis-sold to us, the lady at the call-desk saying it was a tour concerning the t.v. show 'Friends' when in fact it was a collection of American t.v. shows. Secondly, the tour guide was unhelpful and spent more time talking about herself and her life in Manhattan than the subject of t.v. shows and movies connected with New York. Thirdly the bus driver was rude and argumentative with myself and my mother, I was utterly shocked at our treatment.
I do not recommend this to anyone, and have to say that sadly all the information I have given is true. We left the tour early when the bus stopped to show us yet another ''attraction'' that appeared in a film we had never heard of for a brief millisecond. Consequently we were stranded in a part of lower Manhattan we knew nothing about, but frankly we'd have rather been anywhere than on your tour.

| A fun tour, but it took too long in coming back from down town. Maybe the tour could start by the Empire State building, etc. and then start at the southern end of the city and make it's way back up to the northern end.
I would recommend it to someone who had more than a couple days to spend, or on a second or third trip to the city. For someone taking a first time trip and only on a long weekend, it took too much time. |

| Enjoyable, but 3 hours was a bit long. Maybe 1 1/2 hrs to 2 hours would be good. It was fun to see the locations of the shows and movies. |

| There are 8 locations listed on the website as examples and we only visited 5 of them - we did not see the restaurant used in Spiderman, Grace's design studio or the diner from Men in Black. I estimate, being generous, that 30 locations were discussed, not over 100 as stated on the website. I was extremely disappointed with the amount of content on the tour, and would not recommend this tour to anyone visiting New York. |

| The tour was appauling. The tour guide was more interested in the rent of apartments in NYC rather then actual films and movies. Rather then making the locations on the tour interesting she put them down and she always stressed that the characters would never be able to afford to live in the buildings they live in. The tour was a complete dissapointment and all the guide did was make the locations seem like a complete let down rather than making them exciting. I would like some response to this matter asap as as I was planning on e-mailing you anyway

| I would highly recommend it to fans of hit movies & TVshows. I was interested in seeing sites used in Scorcese & Woody Allen films as well as other movies filmed in 60's thru 80's. Also, I noticed when we past by locations uses in Death Wish, Sea of Love and After Hours nothing was mentioned. Having said that, I realize you need to concentrate on recent films.
For the casual fan it is priceless!! |

| The tour guide was excellent, she was friendly, entertaining, very knowledgeable and able to answer everyone's questions. Would definitely recommend this trip to friends visiting New York. |
