We absolutely loved this tour and would recommend it to friends. In fact, I already have. My boys are aspiring actors and movie nuts and they found it informative, fun, lively (great tour guide, by the way) and well worth the money. We visit Manhattan frequently but had never been to many of the featured neighborhoods, so it really broadened our perspective on the city.
Thank you! |

| The tour guide was fantastic. It was the best part of our trip to NY. I enjoyed the tidbits of information we got not only from our guide but the bus driver as well. We'll have so much to tell our friends and family in Alabama!!
Thanks! |

It's worth it!!

| My husband and I adore NYC and had the opportunity to spend a few days away from the kids. Our time was very valuable. We took this tour the first morning being in the city and really enjoyed it. It got us centered and have a more appreciation for the city. Seeing where different movie shots took place while reviewing movie clips was awesome. We also had a chance to see places we wanted to visit further after the tour. Our tour guide was amazing and funny. She is a native NY'er and actress so we gained much knowledge and insight of "the business" and the city.
One thing I didn't like when riding the bus was it was when the tour guide would mention a sight, we would pass it before I could see what she was talking about. Talk about a NY second!!! This only happened a few times. You'll have plenty of chances to get off the bus and take in sites.
If you're debating whether to go...do it. You'll enjoy it. |

Not so interesting for the true tv/movie buff!

| Tour guide was energetic and fun, but the content was lame. How many references to the "Friends" show can one man take? You'd think "Friends" and "Big Daddy" were two of the most important shows ever filmed in NY! Few references to anything (movie or tv) that happened before 1990. This tour is good for twenty-something obsessed fans of the aforementioned, but with so many classic movies and tv shows that have made use of NY as a backdrop, I felt this tour could have been much, much better. The bus never went north of 51st & B'way during our three hour tour, but I know that a little more research on the part of the tour operator could have provided those of us who remember tv and movies before the 90's with a more entertaining tour of this area. Anyway, it was a good way to see Greenwich Village and the meat packing district without doing it yourself! (May I suggest a Central Park, midtown/uptown and Harlem tour of tv and movie venues?) |

| We had lots of fun - a great way to see different neighborhoods of Manhattan, get out of the bus now and then, and have amazing rice pudding. |

| Brian was an excellent, informative, humorous tour guide. For a native New Yorker back home to visit, I was astounded at how little i knew was going on in my home-city. I told my bronx neighbors and they (who live here 24-7 never heard of the tours!!!) said they all plan to take the tours next year!!! Please give Brian a raise..he needs help paying his rent and he really made this tour worth every penny!! |

| Brian was a great tour guide. He was extremely energetic and funny. The bus took us all the way from Central Park to Little Italy...so we cover a lot of land fast. He showed us all kinds of buildings and locations used in tv and movies such as the Friend's apartment, Ghostbusters firehouse, Rice to Riches from Hitch (you get a sample of rice pudding that comes in 30 different flavors!), different hotels from Two Weeks Notice, When Harry Met Sally, the Cosby House...just to name a few! He also told us a little bit about each neighborhood. It was a very relaxing tour because the bus took you everywhere and you got out 3 or 4 times to look at sites.
My one complaint is the bus is nasty. It's dirty and smells like disgusting bathroom. Granted we were next to the onboard bathroom but still! It made me want to barf.
I would recommend this to a someone who is new to New York and wants to see a little bit of everything fast. Then you can decide what areas you'd like to revisit on your vacation. |

| The tour was so much fun! I was looking for something that would be fun, interesting and entertaining for the whole family (ages 15 years and up). This totally fit the bill! There were 7 of us on the tour so there was always at least one of us who was familiar with the movie or TV show being highlighted! Everyone was engaged and each one of us would recommend it to others. |
