| My best friend and I took the tour on Saturday, October 1. Our tour leader, Bryan, was a wonderful guide and was quite knowledgeable about everything. We enjoyed it immensely and would highly recommend this tour to others. |

| The tour was excellent! The tour guide was very informative and kept us all highly entertained throughout the 3 hour + tour. A lot to take in- but a useful summary is handed out at the end of the tour as a reminder of all the places you have visited! A great way to see New York and also to find out about film loactions. Excellent! Highly recommended! |

| We thought the tour guide was informative and articulate. We enjoyed the specifics that he shared at each site. Since the tour was from 11 to 2, it would have been good to provide a brief opportunity to buy lunch somewhere. Overall, we found the tour very enjoyable. |

| We had only one day to visit New York and were delighted with the Manhattan TV and Movie Tour. We could not have visited all the places that we went to if we had not booked the tour. The price was right. Kimberly our tour guide was so friendly and entertaining. I have given your e-mail address and information to several of my friends that would like to come to New York just to take the tour. Thank you again for the great day. A dream come true.

| the tour was excellent and very informative. it was a great way to see manhattan instead of having a boring tour guide pointing every little detail out.
the tour guide brian taylor was very good. i think he may have been practising some of his stand-up material with us - which was fine!
highly recommend it. |

| Rosanne was our tour guide. Her knowledge of all tour related issues was excellent. She was enthusiastic and made it all the more fun. We went to places we would never find on our own. Rice to Riches was a nice surprise. After being on the tour, you find that you want to rent all the movies (even ones you've already seen) that were locations on the tour. All in all I highly recommend the tour. I look forward to taking the Sex in the City tour next. |

| Our group enjoyed the tour for the exposure it provided to neighbourhoods we might otherwise never have seen but we all agreed it was as if the guide was working from a script that was written 20 years' ago. Surely the Cosby's could be dropped in favour of CSI:NY. There must be hundreds of more recent movies than When Harry Met Sally or Sleepless in Seattle. Also we thought the trip should have been planned to include some "must see" sights such as the Seinfeld apartment building and restaurant, and Carrie's apartment (SATC) (even though SATC is another specialty tour some sites really should also be on this tour). Even if more miles had to be covered to get these other sites in, the time could be compensated by not spending 20 minutes outside the Cosby house with the corresponding spiel about the set that it seemed no one cared about. Oddly, too, for a native New Yorker the guide seemed quite unaware of the history of some of the neighbourhoods where we stopped. The value of the tour would be hugely enhanced by an additional commentary on some of the spectacular buildings that went by, historical references, or more recent "news" about what we were seeing. We think a rewrite is definitely needed. |

| We really enjoyed the NY movie and TV tour. The number of sights that we saw was great and we enjoyed the combination of listening to stories, watching clips, sitting in the bus and walking to locations. Keep up the good work! |

| Our gal was great! Very enthusiastic. I thought there was a bit too much emphasis on Seinfeld (soup nazi etc) as that show has been off air for a long time. I particularly liked hearing about where celebrities lived (or used to live) as it made the tour more real and current. I liked that it went through many neighbourhoods. Didn't like the black and white cookie, it was tasteless and not very relevant, but loved the rice pudding place as it was very funky and we likely never would have found it otherwise. The old fashioned diner was a bust, and we disturbed some folks who were having breakfast outside at the tables, which was embarrassing. Probably about 1/2 hour too long. LOVED the visit to Friends locations, would like more. |
