| We enjoyed this tour, very informative. The tour guide knew her stuff, however, sometimes it was just too much information. This tour should probably be 2 hrs instead of 3! |

| I enjoyed the tour. It was not fantastic, but it was very good. For the price I was not disappointed. I liked how we saw locations and then followed up with the video of the movies/shows taped there. My tour guide was VERY knowledgable and pleasant.
I liked that we saw a lot of different areas of new york city. Again, I was very pleased with the tour. |

| I enjoyed this tour very much. My favourite locations viewed included the Ghostbusters firehouse, the Friends apartment block and fountain and the Crosby show house.
I think there was the right mix of time on and off the coach. The lunch stop was a surprise as I was expecting to have to wait until the end of the tour. That Ben's Pizza (from MIB) sure has quick service.
In terms of references to films and TV shows there were a few that I had seen and others that I had not even heard of let alone seen. How relevant these clips are depends on the mix and age group on the coach I suppose. There could have been a few more blockbusters or popular films referred to e.g. Die Hard with a Vengeance.
Overall, worthwhile. |

| Having attended a similar tour in San Francisco earlier this year which was excellent we expected a lot. The content of the tour was essentially good - with a vast array of films and TV shows set in New York we expected some possible favourites might be left out but the major tltles were included. What we were disappointed with was the presentation. When we took our San Francisco tour we were taken to a location, told about it and shown at the same time a clip from the relevant film or TV show with scenes from the location. On this New York tour the guide talked a lot about the location then in lulls showed groups of clips, some of which were of locations viewed 30 or 40 minutes before. Even then he would interupt the clips to talk about something that had come up that had occurred to him about where we were at a particular time. This made the tour disjointed and we didn't get to see all the clips. As said the content was good but it would have been much more enjoyable if each location was given a visual frame of reference by showing it on film at the same time. |

| My son and I took the New York City TV show sights tour and had a great time. It was enjoyable to see the city from the comfort of the bus while hearing about great TV shows and movies that had used sights and buildings from the city. Our tour guide did an awesome job. Definitely enjoyed the four stops we made including the lunch at Ben's Pizza. The staff at the Ben's could stand to be a little nicer, but the food was great. |

| We learned a lot about filming and how to look for opportunities to spot celebrities. Because of the tour, we were able to go to the premier night for Amelia and see some stars.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. |
