| We were very disappointed with the tour. The website indicates that you were going to movie sites. Most of the stops were very brief. Most of the trip was on the bus and were told to look out the window. It indicated on the description that we were stopping at the Soup Nazai to try soup. This was not the case. We stopped at a rice pudding location which has absolutely nothing to do with the any of the movie/TV shows.

| The tour was interesting, with a guide who was very informative, enthusiastic and helpful! There was so much to see and hear, that it was hard to absorb it all! We took lots of pics. Enjoyed sharing the story of the "friendship cookie" and tasting our first rice pudding! |

| My husband and I took the tour together. I have been on the SATC tour on a previous trip to NYC, while this was his first tour and his first time in NYC. We had a great time. The tour guide was entertaining and funny. And, it was great way to introduce my husband to various parts of Manhattan.
There was a parade during our tour so some streets were closed so we couldn't see all of the sites. Our tour guide did a good job of talking about the sites even though we couldn't see them.
My only constructive comment is that we only knew about half of the movies/shows mentioned on the tour. I especially didn't know the older movies from the 70s and before. This was very different than the SATC tour, where I was familiar with all of the sites because I was a SATC fan. So, I wasn't as engaged on this tour as I was on the SATC tour.
Regardless, it was a great way to spend an afternoon and well worth the price. I recommend this to any tourist! |

| The tour guide was very knowledgeable of information and she made
the trip exciting as well as fun. We have two teenage daughters that
were on the trip with us and they both enjoyed it. The various places
were fun especially sitting on the steps of the Cosby Show. We would
highly recommend this trip for young as well as old, and in between.
Anyone that watches TV or sees lots of movies would benefit and truly
enjoy this trip. We would consider going back when we come back to
NY. The TV mini screens on the bus trip allowed you to see different
clips from movies and regular TV shows.
The accommodations on the bus was excellent. The seats were comfortable,
and the air conditioning was excellent. It was great to have a bathroom on the
bus as well. |

| My girlfriend and myself had so much fun which was probably due to our guide Roseanne. She was really entertaining, friendly and had brilliant jokes throughout the whole tour. Also it was the last day of our stay in New York so we left in a good and musical mood.
We also very much enjoyed wandering around the city on the bus. I have to say that during our stay we walked a lot so it was nice being on the bus to enjoy the city.
Thanks again for everything as the Zerve team was really good from booking to the end of the tour.
We will be back and probably with friends.
See you again. Cheers

| Our guide, Brian, tried to work around all of the parade routes, but this caused a delay in the trip. We did enjoy his commentary though. |

| Won't bore you too much but the New York TV and Movie Sites tour was well worth the money we paid for the tickets. My wife is a big 'Friends' fan, and really enoyed seeing the location used for shooting the scenes that show you the Friend's apartment and the highlight for me (being a man) was seeing the Ghostbuster's fire house :)
It also covered a hell of a lot more than this in a TV show and movie sense and was in general a nice sight seeing tour of Manhattan as well. You get to stop at a few locations to take pictures and the three hour duration is probably about right.
A word about the guide (who I believe is also an actress too??) on the bus, she was lovely and very enthusiatic about that whole thing and that's something that can really only come from a love of what you do and a love of TV and film as well. Full credit to her and she kept us entertained the whole way through.
If you spend money on doing this, you won't be disappointed :) |

While it was fun to see where places were filmed, the tour was too long to just be sitting on a bus looking out a window. it was almost like watching a movie because we were looking through yet another screen - the window. after an hour and a half i was itching to get out and do my own thing.
i would have enjoyed it more if we were able to get off of the bust and get a closer look at the sites. my sister and i we tried to find these sites afterwards, but got completely lost in Greenwich village. out host, Jessica mentioned that on other tours there were more opportunities to get off the bus and see the sites, so why weren't they incorporated with this tour? there were only 3 stops in three hours.
our guide was helpful though. entertaining.
i think the tour would have been better if it were a smaller group. people wouldn't feel so shy, (which everyone was) if it was a smaller vehicle with about 10 people, there would have been space to stop the car/van and get out and see places. the tour might have to be cut down, but it would be a heck of a whole lot more fun. there were only about 10-15 of us on that huge bus anyway. and during stops, the bus stayed running. what about pollution? and with the price of gas, it seemed very wasteful.
