This tour is a must for anyone or everyone who likes TV/Movies. We learned alot from taking this tour and I felt like I was constantly saying..."Oh, that's how they do that", or "I thought that looked familiar". Our tour guide was very knowledgable of movies and TV. My favorite part was "The Whole Thing". It was fun from beginning to end. This tour takes you to the heart of the Movies and TV. We actually sat on the front porch, home of the The Cosby Show. We learned alot of technical terms that is used in portraying certain scenes of movies and tv. We made stops along the way and actually ran in for a moment for Rice Pudding at "Rice to Riches". This establishment was actually used in the movie "Hitch" starring Will Smith. We actually stood in front of the McDonald's used in the movie, "Big Daddy", starring Adam Sandler. We even visited the site where he had the little boy pee on the side of the restraunt. Our tour guide also pointed out some Celebrity Homes currently being occupied by Sara Jessica Parker, Janet Jackson, etc. One of my favorite parts of the tour is being in front of the Freinds Building. I strongly suggest this tour for everyone. You learn alot and if you are lucky like we were, you just might catch a glimpse of a film being produced right on the street. We saw, "My Accidental Husband" being filmed on the street, starring Matt Damon and Uma Thurman. Our tour started at The Stardust Diner and I definately recommend breakfast there before the tour. It's a cool diner with a singing staff. You get served breakfast with some awesome entertainment. Please take the tour! You won't regret it. You definately get your money's worth!! |

I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME AT A TOUR. I HAVE TO SAY THIS TOUR DOES IT ALL. THE TOUR GUIDE (ROSANNE) WAS AWESOME. SHE WAS SO KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THE TOUR. SHE POINTED BIG HIGHLIGHTS AND WELL KNOWN FILMING LOCATIONS THAT INTERESTED MOST OF THE GROUP. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR TO EVERYONE AND I MUST SAY THAT I WILL BE TAKING ANOTHER ONE SOMETIMES NEXT WEEK. I AM SO HAPPY I DID THIS TOUR. IT WAS WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY. I HAVE NO REGRETS. SO SEE YOU TOUR PEOPLE AGAIN NEXT WEEK |

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. |

We had a great tour of Manhattan packed with interesting information. We look forward to watching some of the movies when we get home with an eye for the streets! Excellent personal skills and a wealth of information from the guide (Roseanne) made it a well spent part of our honeymoon. |

This was the best purchase I made while I was visiting New York. You get to see why New York is the most filmed city in the world. Tons of great stops on the tour and you get to see parts of new york that you may not get to see while staying here. Excellent, fun, interactive guides make the tour exciting! There were plenty of photo ops and we got to see tv and movie clips of locations where we just visited or ate at, to show us where we just went and it made the experience very special. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting new york who loves tv and movies!!!
Thanks again!! |

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.

This was a great way to see NYC and all it has to offer. It was really fun to see all the hidden things that you have seen on TV or movies. |

The tour, while interesting and enjoyable, did not accurately follow the description given by the website. The tour did not visit the restaurants from When Harry Met Sally, or from Spiderman 2. It also didn't visit the bookstore from You've Got Mail. Placing these stops in the tour description gave the impression lunch would be available for purchase during the tour. However, the only food we were given was a cookie and rice pudding. For a tour taking place during the lunch hour, this was unacceptable.
And, my reservation got botched, as I had previously phoned it in asking for the bus to be handicapped accessible. When we checked in with our guide, there was no record of this and it was very hard to get my aunt (who has MS) and my mom (who was recovering from a broken ankle) get in and out of the bus.
In the future, this tour should include a place to buy real lunch items, such as sandwiches and salads and should be more accessible to those with disabilities.
Otherwise, the tour was interesting and informative. |
