| We booked the tour from the UK and were really looking forward to it unfortunately we were very dissappointed. The tour guide was a very obvious Friends and Seinfeld fan and most of the commentary was on these 2 programmes, in the UK Friends is on the way out and Seinfeld just isn't that popular, none of us had seen it.She knew there was amixture of American and International people on the coach but seemed to assume we were only there to see things connected to Friends or Seinfeld.We were very dissapointed that the tour guides information was quite out of date, she seemed to mainly quote When Harry Met Sally and You've Got Mail. There have been lots of more recent films that have been shot in New York but these were either not mentioned at all or dismissed with one line. If you are a real film fan then we do not believe this tour is for you. If you want to kill 3 hours then at least the coach was comfy. Would rather have spent the time doing something else. |

| Our tour was very exciting and interesting. Our tour guide showed us everything, from the Friends building to the local hangout of the stars in New York. It was worth it! |

| Really enjoyed the entire experience. Saw so many sites that I have seen on my favorite TV & Movies. The only drawback was length of tour. I think the tour was about 45 minutes too long. Our tour guide was perfect. |

| Overall it was very good and the young lady that led the group was excellent and very informative and helpful.
There was no provision made however, for any non-native speakers, which while not a problem for us could be an obvious lack nevertheless for people from abroad.
The tour packed a lot in but perhaps (especially for non-Americans) some props such as pictures from the series/films being mentioned may help to set the scene better and give the tour guide an easier time?
Although the time constraints are obvious a few more "Get off the bus and be there" stops would have been welcome as well. Finally, on a personal note, we were slightly disappointed NOT to get to see the diner from Seinfeld or anything from either the "King of Queens" or "The Nanny" as obvious New York based sitcoms?
Nevertheless, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour which was definitely a highlight of the trip and we would recommend it strongly to any friends or acquaintances visiting the city....
Also, we felt it was very fairly priced!
Thank you very much for a nice time! |

| The tour was awesome! Our favorite part was seeing the house used for the "Cosby Show". Loved the tour, although some parts weren't as interesting as we've never seen "You've Got Mail" or "Sex in the City". We'd definitely recommend the tour ! |

| as a christmas present for my movie-loving boyfriend, we decided to take this tour. we are from long island and felt that the commute was simple, and very convenient for those traveling into the city. we were the only new yorkers on the tour that day, and were very excited about discovering great television and movie locations right in our own backyard! |

| The idea of the tour was very good, but the tour was lacking when you decided to combine the Television and Movie Portions. I feel like this was not the best solution. But since I was on a combined tour for the movie portion they left out and did not make reference to any of Spike Lee's movies. I know his movies took place in Brooklyn but please acknowdledge the man's movies. Saturday Night Fever was not mentioned I think you all could do more research on the tour material. New York has so so many movies made but please give more of a variety the tour was too expensive to be what it is. Plus I feel something could have been done about my seat the window was fogged but after i asked the tour guide could I move to a better spot she told me the tour was too full, and the bus driver would try to wipe off the outside. The tour guide never followed up with me about my view from the bus which was not good customer service.
I live in washington dc so I will be back to new york this spring
Thank You,

| If you are a TV or Movie Lover this is a good tour to go see all those famous locations! If you couldn't care less about "Friends", "The Cosby Show" and would never dream of calling "Ghostbusters!!" then this is probably not the tour for you! Our guide was friendly and knowledgable and despite the bone chilling cold we enjoyed our tour. So one last time "Who You Gonna Call?"................... |
