| We had a true New Yorker as our tour guide and she was excellent! We couldn't take enough pictures! At every turn there was another movie location. There were only 4 stops on the trip (the highlight for us was going to the Friends Building), which was a bit of a shame since we wanted to get off and take pictures in most of the places we passed but that would understandably be impossible! We also got to watch clips from movies that were shot in New York so we could piece together what we saw with the movie - an excellent idea! At the end our tour guide asked us if we had any questions about other films she may have missed and she was able to answer all the questions we threw at her! There were some Law and Order enthusiasts on our tour too and our tour guide was able to show them where most of the locations were so if you're an obsessed fan make sure you tell your tour guide!
The only thing we wished we could have done was go and do the Central Park tour - we didn't have time to book that tour so we missed out. Would be a great idea if they could somehow combine both tours or do a day long tour and do more New York sites - it was only 3 and a half hours long but we could have stayed on that tour all day! It was one of the highlights of our New York trip! And get ready to sing some showtunes on the bus! |

| My partner and i attended this tour with my 13 year old sister and all three of us really enjoyed it. Brian, our guide, was a lot fun and was extremely knowledgeable about the different NY neighbourhoods. He also knew a lot about the movie industry and film making and so aded a lot to the tour in that way as well. He had an excellent sense of humour and made the day really fun. I would recommend doing the tour early on in your vacation so that you can see which parts of the city you would like to revisit. |

| Besides seeing the numerous sites where Friends, seinfeld, & law & order were filled, we really enjoyed seeing all the areas where the rich & famous live and shop. The various styles of architecture was so unique and beautiful. It made a very enjoyable bus trip, I think the stop at the store from You've got Mail could have been eliminated. Maybe another more interesting site could be added. The guide was very friendly and well informed. She pointed out all the unique areas along the route. I would also like to thank the company for arranging a whellchair bus for my 24 year old daughter. She felt very special that everything was accessible to her. The bus driver had no problems getting her on and off the bus at all the stops. It was fantastic.

| This tour was really fun. We found out about it by taking the Sex and the City Tour previously. The tour is a great way to see the city and all of the smaller areas you wouldnt normally venture to. For a hot day, it gave a nice tour while being inside an air-conditioned bus. The only negative part was the variety of movies and tv shows covered. Despite watching a lot of TV and movies, we didnt know many of the movies discussed. It was a fun tour though regardless. |

| I recently relocated from CA to NY to be with my fiancé, who was born and raised in NY, and given our different backgrounds, we both loved it. It wasn’t your typical boring tourist tour of historical sites and monuments. The tour was 3 hrs long with four 10-15 minutes stops which gave you a great opportunity to stretch and take pictures. The host was enthusiastic and possessed great energy; you couldn’t help but be enthralled by her up beat personality. My favorite part of the tour was the stop from the Ghostbusters movie; it is now an actual fire house and we got to take pictures with the firefighters from the station! I would recommend every TV / movie buff to take this tour! |

| A group of us took my sister on the tour for her 50th birthday. She is a movie and TV buff. It was the highlight of the day in NYC..... It was very informative and we had great tour guide (Kymberly)... We enjoyed the snack and stopping at Rice to Riches...I liked that the tour guide put some of her personal experiences into the explanation of the tour!!! We had a blast!!! I will definitely recommend this to others and would be very interested in doing one!!! |

| This tour was one of the best 3.5 hours of our weekend. Our tour leader, Gary, was exceptionally knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and his love for this genre was evident in his anecdotes. He took the time to speak to everyone to get to know a bit about them. His personal touches were well-received. His delivery methods were timed well, and his speaking voice was very easy to listen to.
Our driver (Joare? Jowel?) was also a great driver. Very smooth driving (sometimes difficult in downtown Manhattan) and he also fixed the DVD player!
I would highly recommend this tour to everyone, whether you know a little or alot about the movies or TV. It was a most enjoyable afternoon. |

| It was okay, you have to be a big movie buff, to know a lot of the movies, I was more interested in TV shows, wasn't really that many. We did really like our guy though. His name was Brian and he was very informed about movies and TV shows. You learn to look differently at TV shows and movies now, when you know a little bit about the filming of them. I wanted to get my picture taken on the steps of the Cosby Townhouse and was able to to that, so I was happy, my daughter is a Friends fan so she was able to see somethings that interested her. I also had an 18 year old daughter who attended and she was pretty board. So if you are a really big movie buff, this would be very interesting to you, otherwise it was just okay. |
