| Start spreading the news - this is a wonderful way to experience New York for the first time. As Canadians we see New York through film and tv often.
So, to actually see neighbourhoods, eat pizza, and see movie/tv sights in 'real life' was great.
Brian, a native NY-er was our guide and he gave us so many 'back stories' and tidbits and it was a great tour. And he told us the 'truth' about many tv shows that we were pained to hear - 'Friends fans be warned'!
We started off with breakfast at Ellen's Stardust Diner as that was going to be our 9:30AM meeting location - we would never have picked that spot and it was such a fun way to start the day!
We really liked Brians' s humour, good grace - as we had a 3 month old baby with us, and his verrrrrrry informative narrative.
We had a great time!! |

| The tour was great, entertaining while on the bus with the tv/movie clips plus lots of trivia and questions. Tour guide Kymberly was friendly and kept things lively.
A nice surprise were the cookies, I've not been on a trip where you get to really enjoy the whole ambiance of the city and sites. And the hand out of the spots we visited was great, gives everyone the opportunity to visit again on their own if they want.
An excellent way to spend 3+ hours, great price and would definitely recommend.

| I enjoyed seeing all areas of the city, a little history and if you're a TV & movie person, you'll really enjoy it. Do it early in trip so you know where you want to come back to. |

| Roseanne was a very informative and enthusuatic tour guide. Had a great trip around the city. Off the bus walks were nice for the reprieve from driving but most could have been seen from the bus. Favorite part of the trip. . the rice pudding shop. Should have stopped at the cupcake shop too! Thanks! |

| We absolutely loved the movie tour. Our tour guide Gary was very entertaining. He made an effort to talk to everyone and include everyone on the bus. He put us at ease very quickly. The tour had something that appealed to everyone in our group. |

| The T.V. and movie sites tour was amazing. It was so great to visit so many places you had seen on t.v. or in the movies.
Our tour guide Roseanne really knew her stuff. She was fun and enthousiastic and pointed out where some celebrities lived as we drove around town.
The tour is also a fantastic way to see parts of Manhattan that you might not get to see with other sightseeing tours.
This is my second time touring with On Location tours ( I did the Sex and The City tour last year) and I was not disappointed either time. I highly recommend this tour! |

| The tour was very good but we couldn't see out of the bus for the first ten minutes of the tour as the bus was so steamed up. Then the middle tv screen kept not working. few bus technical faults but our guide was very good and tried his best. i think it would have been an excellent tour without the technical faults. |

| For my teen, it was an interesting way to see some of New York.
BUT
We didn't go north of Central Park.
Several sites were no more than estab. shots. Little / none of the show was filmed there.
Lots of chatter about what's filming maybe somewhere.
No history of the city.
I enjoyed the east village -- hadn't seen that before.
Over all it was okay. |

| We decided to go on the Movie Tour as most of our group are big tv and movie fans and also to see the sights of New York.
The tour was fantastic, our tour guide Gary especially, he was very informative and made the tour really fun and interesting(he even sang abit). If you are big 'Friends' fans i definatley say go on this tour you will visit the apartment block and have your picture taken. The tour takes you to loads and loads of other sights aswel and its not all just on the bus. Some of it is walking (but not too much!) and going into places that were filmed on movies. Overall excellent tour, well worth it. I'd definatley recommend it to anyone who was visiting New York. Make sure you answer questions you might win prizes! |
