| I booked this trip based on a recommendation from a friend. I had previously completed the N.Y. Hop on/off bus tour and found it to be a bit tedious. This trip was choosen especially for my teenage children, who are big USA soap fans. They really enjoyed seeing the sights of movie and soap locations. However we did encounter a few problems with the video tapes not working and the 'on bus' toilet leaking. Gary apologised for the tapes, but the toilet situation was more or less ignored. It was very concerning for those of us who were sitting near the toilets.
After completing this tour and the previous N.Y. tour, I think it would be good if the movie tour provided some background on the areas we passed through, a combination of both tours would be better value. I felt there was not enough up to date locations, with the 'Cosby show', 'Ghostbusters' being a bit dated. Friends building appeared to be the highlight of the trip, but I felt that there could have been some references to recent movies like, 'I am legend' or 'cloverfield'. The stop off at 'rice to riches' (Hitch) appeared to be a bit pointless, as everyone was waiting outside to move on to the next stop. Gary's references were based mostly around his favourite movie 'Ghostbusters, and although this was interesting and entertaining, I think the hosts should be using more up to date movies, as the average age of our bus was 40 and under. There appeared to be gaps on the tour when very little was pointed out. A DVD playing alongside the tour showing the movie clips of the locations could be helpful, as some were hard to identify.
Overall I would recommend the tour. |

| Our tour guide, Roseanne, was outstanding! Her knowledge of NYC and of all the TV shows and movies filmed in NYC was just amazing. There were points of interest for every age group. And, I don't think there was one question she couldn't answer. The tour was both enjoyable and educational. My family and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city. |

| Our tour guide, Roseanne, was fantastic and enthusiastic, full of useful information which we would not have had access to otherwise. The sites were very interesting, even besides the movie and TV locations. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting New York, as it combines information with visiting sights you may not get to see otherwise if you do not have much time in New York. |

| This tour was very nice because it allowed us (mother/daughter) to get a glimpse of several different areas of the city. The tour guide was excellent (Roseanne), she made the trip entertaining. It was nice to get off the bus a couple of times. The stop at 'Rice to Riches' was very random. Perhaps that stop should be changed to the cupcake shop that was mentioned several times (might appeal to more people). It was a very nice tour, and relaxing after spending a busy day with a lot of walking the day prior. |

| This was a leisurely paced tour. Surprisingly, we did not encounter too many traffic jams; but we ran very close to our scheduled activities. I appreciated the historical aspect of many of the sights and our tour guide had a great sense of humor which put everyone at ease; especially me--since I was touring "solo".
I would definitely embark on another tour in the coming months. |

| The tour was very good. It was great to also get a tour of the New York suburbs while we are looking at scenes from movies. The video clips are great. Helps to show you where you've seen the landmarks before. |
