Movies and TV are a distortion of reality.

| I'm a dedicated film buff, so this tour was especially relevant to me. It provides an interesting alternative to the standard tour bus experience. The tour guide, Kymberly, was very knowledgeable and it also helped that she was an actor who could bring some showbiz scoop to the tour.
What I found most interesting was the difference between the reality of the locations and what we finally see onscreen - there appears to be a fair degree of distortion (such as the actual height of the Friends building), which makes it all the more interesting and fun.
I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in movies and TV shows. And if you only have a passing interest, it's still very entertaining and enjoyable. |

| Being disappointed that the Sex and the City Tour was sold out on the day we wanted, we signed up for the New York TV and Movie Sites Tour. This tour was fabulous and much more than I expected. Not only did we see TV and movie sites but we also got to see parts of New York City that we probably wouldn't have seen by ourseves. We also learned more about the filming of some of the movies and TV shows and how to spot when there was filming going on in a certain area of the city, We got a lot of ideas for other things to do in the City. Our tour guide, Kim, was absolutely wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and answered all questions asked of her. The rerouting of our tour because of a parade that the company was not infomred about did not phase her at all. She was also our personal photographer and patiently took pictures for everyone. The tour bus was wonderfully clean and comfortable. Our driver was patient, flexible and knowledgeable about city streets. We didn't miss a beat with the rerouting of our tour because of the parade. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone, old and young alike. I personally plan on taking another of Zerve's tours next time I am in NYC. Very, very interesting and fun. A fabulous way to see NYC and spend around 3 hours of your time. We wish it had been longer!!! |

| 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. |

| Extremely talented tour guide. Friendly, informative, funny and charming. The tour was well-planned and fun. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed it very much. We look forward to touring again. The video footage to back-up the locations were helpful in getting an understanding of the importance of the location. The tour guides insightful knowledge of the history and techniques used for each respective show pulled the group together and being able to get a hands-on approach made the tour that much more interactively fun. Thank you for this wonderful experience. |

| Enjoy seeing spots where MOVIES were shot in NYC
Clips of movies shown as you see the actual spots
Informed energetic tour guide leads the tour
Bus is comfortable and air conditioned and neat cookie snack is provided.
A FEW TV spots were also included
More TV spots would have been appreciated by our group as we are TV, NOT movie buffs. I hoped to see not only Cosby and Friends, but Lucy, the Jeffersons, and any other TV sites known .
Since the tour was billed as "New York TV and Movie sites "(TV being the first part of the billing,) I expected LOTS MORE TV sites, but the movie sites were fun too (if you are a movie buff) |

| The tour is great for film and tv lovers, and it gives tourists a glimpse not only of the most filmed locations and buildings in Manhattan, but also of certain hot spots downtown. The tour guide makes it enjoyable for kids, teens and adults. If you wanna get an overrall view of the locations and fun facts about the movie industry and the celebrities in New York, you can't miss this 3 hour tour! |

| We both thoroughly enjoyed the tour, our Guide Gary was excellent he is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to movies!! He was very entertaining and informative. This is an excellent way of seeing areas of New York that you may not ordinarily visit, you don't have to be a movie/TV connoisseur to enjoy the tour |

| The movie tour was wonderful. Our tour guide was Gary and he was great. This was our second On Location Tour, our first was Sex and the City two years ago which was also wonderful. On this tour our 10 year old daughter was on it and she also highly enjoyed the trivia and sights of New York. The movie tour took us to great locations as well as the famous Rice to Riches that Kelly Ripa and Ellen Degeneres enjoy. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone that is a movie and tv lover. It is also a great way to see different sights in New York City, such as Soho and Chelsea. |
