| If you're a movie buff or just want to explore various areas of NY for the first time, this is a great tour. Be sure to leave extra time open on your itinerary because after touring these locations, you'll want to go back and explore the neighborhoods more thoroughly. Kim was our tour guide and she was fantastic - so was our bus driver Kenny!!!! We actually had Kenny twice as our driver because my wife and I went on the Sex and the City Tour, which was also great!!! Even though I was one of three guys on the bus, I'm a fan of the show and it was very interesting. |

| I was a little unsure of exactly how much fun it would be to just drive around and look at where shows were filmed, but it turned out to be way more than that. Our guide was very funny and knowledgeable. We were able to get off of the bus several times and feel like we were a part of where they actually filmed the show. There was also trivia questions, prizes and dvd clips of the movies/ shows to refresh your memory as we went past each place. At one point we saw someone filming something and they stopped the bus and we went over to watch. It turned out to be an ESPN commercial. I would highly recommend this tour and this company and especially Kymberly, our guide. |

| This tour exceeded my expectations and quickly became one of the most memorable experiences I've had in New York City, this being my 3rd trip. The tour is multi faceted with each facet innovative and run smoothly. Meeting the tour guide at the meeting location was easy to find in the Theater District down the road from Times Square. Detailed directions and a map are included with your ticket. The former Broadway actress turned NYC tour guide was well organized with a list of all attendees, I simply said my name and presented my e-ticket (ordered from Zerve's website).
We embarked on a comfortable air conditioned coach that led us to 60 locations featured in famed movies & television shows from all eras. A side note the coach does have a spotless bathroom onboard.The tour guide was very approachable and informative sharing many notes on the movies including bloopers, little known facts and also production terminology as it relates to filming. In addition to the locations that the bus passes by there are a handful of stops where we got out to see locations on foot. This included two stops that were prolonged ones seeing a set of locations which provided a great break from the bus. At these stops the tour guide offers to take group photography, now that I've seen the pictures, they attest to fine photography skill.
With the additions of showing actual clips of the movies & TV shows on the monitors in the bus just prior or after visiting the location was a real treat. This made the bridge between reality and Hollywood all that more real. The onboard singing and contests rewarded by prizes and the fun of it all added yet another dimension. As the tour progressed throughout many Manhattan districts and neighbourhoods the guide informed the group of many aspects of New York's culture and how the movie industry affects these districts.
At the conclusion of the tour I greatly thanked the guide and gave her a well deserving generous tip. Most importantly I had learned much more about movie, television and New York City as a whole. All this is a fun filled afternoon I strongly recommend. Also a note the office staff are also equally friendly and informative as I had questions about certain parts of the tour for health reasons. On a future trip to NYC I plan to take their Central Park TV & Movie Tour enabling me to further explore the famed park with their knowledge and the filming slant. Improvements to the tour would be visiting the Seinfeld restaurant. It would also be great to see On Location expand to other boroughs of NYC or genre tours. Perhaps have a tour that includes lunch or dinner at one of the featured dining locations. I wish On Location Tours nothing but the best!
Cheers from Ontario, Canada. |

| It was very cool, to see all the locations.
We couldīnt find them if we want, so it was very impressive.
Rosanne was also very nice, singing, discribing, with an open ear for questions.
We thougt 3,5 ours would be very long but infact the time runs very fast!
Also the sing contest was very nice, we never thougt that that Lady will sing like she sang. |

| Our tour guide was really knowledgeable and friendly. She knew a lot of places where celebrities lived and the many films from those specific locations. Our driver was really professional and drove really smoothly through Manhattan. Would highly recommend this tour!!! Ask for Kymberly :D |
