| My wife and I were visiting New York from Scotland for the first time - and had pre-booked this tour. It proved to be one of the main highlights of our trip - we were transported in a luxury, single decked bus - sheltered from the outside weather - and given a city tour of sights which we would never have seen otherwise.
Our guide, Gary Mamoud, was superb - knowledgeable, friendly, extremely polite and patient - and he made the tour the excellent experience that it proved to be. His knowledge of movies and Tv was impressive and extremely detailed. Gary also had to deal with some very challenging children on the tour and did so with great charm, patience and humour - I was very impressed.
The tour lasted for around three and a half hours and included three short walking trips. We saw the Friends building, the Huxtables house, and locations from Serpico / North by Northwest / Spiderman / Wait Until Dark / Manhattan/ Ghostbusters/ Hitch/ Breakfast at Tiffanys / Big Daddy / Seinfeld/ Eyes Wide Shut etc etc.
I would recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in movies.
We were given free black and white biscuits - after a detailed explanation of the Seinfeld scene with the speech re these biscuits! All new to me, but a really enjoyable experience!
My only pointer for improvement is to have more focus on older, classic movies - but that may be a reflection of my age ( 50's). |

| 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. |

Would have liked more trivia

| Rather than just listing the films/tv shows as we passed locations, trivia about the stars taking part, how difficult/famous scenes were shot or stunts planned would have made this far more enjoyable.
All the best |

| The tour was a great way to finish off our visit to NYC. It was good fun, and the tour guide was a fountain of knowledge!! We weren't sure whether to book this tour as we thought we'd rather explore ourselves! HOWEVER - it was our first time in NYC and this was a brilliant way to find out things we otherwise would never have known. Hopefully, if we get a chance to come again, i wouldnt hesitate booking another tour - maybe the sex and the city one!! |

| Our host was terrific. She made the tour a "good tour" but we were a little bored at times because of some of the stops. Hanging out at the "Friends" Apartment building for 15 minutes gets a little tired.
I suppose for my money some more hands-on touches would have helped. Actually going into Trump Tower would have been fun as an example.
That said our gal was terrific, and we will still recommend the tour to friends and family...just didn't blow us away.
Thanks

| This was our third trip to New York and our second time on your wonderful well informed inter active New York City Movie Tour. We came in 2007 and brought three teenagers with us......and they loved it.
This year we were a mixed group of 11 people celebrating my husbands 50th birthday in New York, and at the request of the youth of the group we booked to go on your Movie Tour again.
It was imensley enjoyed by the everyone in our group. Your Tour Guide "Kymberly Tuttle" is a "Star" in herself, she is funny , informative, and gets everyone involved.
Star rating is a 10 out of 10 from us all.
On the next trip we plan to book the Central Park tour.
Once again many thanks for making our trip memorable, and a special thanks to Kymberly.
Best Regards
Debbie Fulcher + 10 worn out guests.
