This tour went by really fast as there was tons to see and very little time to describe it in. The pamphlet at the end was a nice touch but I do wish they had more description of the various spots to help you remember what you learned on the tour because it's a lot to soak in. |

This tour is excellent and would recomend it to any movie lover visiting New York. The tour itself was about 3 hours and took you through all the sites and put them in to context with the movies like Spiderman, Enchanted and Cloverfield.
Along the way we had an excellent speaker called Jessica talking us through everything in an informative and friendly way.
An excellent tour an great value for money |

This was a good trip, enthusiastically led by our guide Roseanne. I found it interesting and full of interesting trivia. My only suggestion is perhaps a couple more stops could be done in the beginning where you actually get off the bus to take some photos, instead of trying to do it through a window. |

I forget the guide's name. Was it Gary? He said he performs from time to time at an improv theater if that helps narrow it down. (Also, he told a story about a birthday-gone-awry where a friend dragged him to an off-off-off-broadway production of War Games.) Anyway, this guy's knowledge about film and New York blew me away. He was extremely well-spoken, affable, witty, and he told a great story.
Ah hell, I'll just come right out and say it. He makes me consider giving up women and heterosexual relationships to instead settle down in a platonic relationship with a male life-partner.
Seriously, though, he made the tour. |

I enjoyed the tour and saw things I wouldn't have gotten to see otherwise.
But...you zoom by the site in a flash as the guide tills you "that was used in_____
film. Would have been nice to hear some stories behind the scenes. |

This tour was very entertaining and enjoyable on a large part of the tour guide. (wish I hadn't of forgotten his name) He was enthusuastic, fun to listen to and personable. If you are into movie and tv shows of any kind, you will enjoy the entire tour. There wasn't a downfall, or a dull moment! |

I went on the tour on a summer Sunday. Traffic was light and bus was comfortably cool. Directions to the meeting place were clear and concise. The tour guide was most knowledgeable and engaging. The description of the tour (estimated time) was on the nose.
It might have been more efficient if there was an assigned person to ensure all attendees were present at meeting place so as not to have to wait for tour guide to start the process. I imagine if the previous tour would have been caught up in traffic, it would've inadvertently delayed our tour. I was a bit apprehensive about missing a following appointment, so I had allowed an hour in between. Happily, the tour concluded at the estimated time.
I was caught short of cash for gratuity. It would be helpful to have a suggested gratuity mentioned online; as I overlooked that. I felt bad that I wasn't able to leave something for the guide and driver as both were very accomodating. I attended the tour on Monday Aug 4, 3 pm with Gary (tour guide) and Mike (driver). Is there any way I can send my token of gratitude to them? Or perhaps have a self-addressed envelope for forgetful folk like myself?
Overall, a easy, comfortable & informative way to see the city for movie/tv buffs; like my teen sons. |

Good Value But Overbroad

I enjoyed my experience with the movie/tv tour but I found it too broad in scope. There is likely something for everyone, but there were a lot of references to fairly recent TV shows and movies that a lot of people haven't seen. This creates a lot of lulls, but I have to give a lot of credit to our tour guide Gary who was funny and informative while he led us on the tour. I think I would have preferred one of the specialty tours., but alas they don't run every day. The tour was billed as 3 1/2 hours, but it was over in slightly over three hours. We were told it was to test a new route. I am curious as to what I missed out on. At $30, it was a very good value, despite some of the drawbacks. The bus was comfortable and there were four stops to see sites and stretch one's legs, which was welcome. The playing of the TV theme song tape while riding around (but not during commentary) was a nostalgic touch. Allowing food and drink on the bus is also a nice gesture. Instead of the movie/TV clips being intermittently played, I would have preferred more anecdotal stories of New York and movie/TV stars. |

Kimberly was great and very informative, gave prizes for trivia questions. I liked getting off the bus several times and getting a black & white cookie. I wish this tour would have been listed in my tour book. I happened to find it in a handout someone gave to me on the street. Luckily I was able to squeeze into a group. I highly recommend this tour and have already told others about it. |
