Best tour!

Of all the tours my 16-year-old daughter and I did while in New York, this was the most enjoyable. Brian, our tour guide, was friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. It was great to see clips of the shows/movies before arriving at the location and then getting the opportunity to see the locations. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting NYC!

Only good for true movie and TV buffs

I was glad to see some of the TV and movie sites, but most were not interesting to anyone in our group. You would have to spend a lot of time watching TV and movies for this tour to be worthwhile. The best part was the time to relax on the bus and get away from the busy NYC atmosphere.

Outstanding Tour

This tour was worth every penny. We saw most of New York and the sites where most movies and TV shows were filmed. The tour giude was very fun and enthusiastic as well as an actor so he knew the information very well. I recommend this tour to everyone especially those who love film and movies! =)

lots to see and enjoy for movie/tv buffs!!

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
Mon, Aug 4, 08   3:00 PM Intrepid Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Individual
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.

Had fun
Mon, Aug 4, 08   11:00 AM davemac Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
My family and I enjoyed the tour. My boys, 13 and 15 thought it would be boring, but they also enjoyed the trip. They saw Ghostbusters, Cosby and Friends locations that they were familar with from the movies and tv shows. Gary was a great guide, we even saw a celebrity in Columbus Circle. I would recommend it to everyone as to find all these locations yourself would take weeks. Thanks for the memories

was kind of boring
Mon, Aug 4, 08   11:00 AM nanojea Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We mostly drove past all the sites and with so much new york traffic it was hard to see them. Our tour guide was excellent but without really being able to see the sites it got boring after a couple of hours.

Very Interesting Tour!
Mon, Aug 4, 08   11:00 AM scavagrotti Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
I went on this tour with my teenage daughter. The tour was a lot of fun and we saw many interesting sites. The movies and TV shows discussed were for all age groups, however, there were a few that neither my daughter or I had seen. Our tour guide did an excellent job- I believe his name was Gary. He showed great enthusiasm. I would absolutely recommend this tour to my friends who are visiting New York in the future.

Interesting however targets an older audience
Mon, Aug 4, 08   11:00 AM LauraTown44 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
I participated with my two teenaged daughters, ages 15 and 18. My 15 year old chose the tour. It was interesting and the guide was very energetic and informative. It was, however, geared toward an older audience as the shows primarily discussed were ones such as "Friends", "The Cosby Show", "Seinfeld", etc. While these shows are very popular with the 30 year old crowd....they are not highly followed by the teen set. Therefore, my daughters found the tour interesting but not very up to date.
