New York TV and Movie Sites

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.

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?)

Tour guide was very friendly and most informed! Packed an awful lot into 3 hours, great value for money (the best $32 I've ever spent in New York!) Will be doing 'Central Park Tour' in November when I return for holiday! Would hope that another movie tour be created with new material in the near future as I'm hungry for more movie location knowledge! Dissapointed at not being able to film on the bus, can't understand why this practice is not allowed? Many thanks to Nancy, (I'll bring you a little gift from the uk!) when I return to New York! I had a great day and loved it! can't wait to do another tour soon! Steven X

If you're a big hollywood chick flick (or anything of that sort) buff, this is for you. Personally I am not, I thought it was great though because it got to some areas of NY i had not been to by then, such as Soho/Tribeca, the Meat Packing District, etc.. So I'd say it's a good way for first time NY travelers to get a brief idea of what NY city looks like and track down spots he/she wants to check out in the future.

It's a great tour and you can get more detailed look of New York. Jessica is a good guide and really funny. What impresses me is she knows a lot about moives and TVs, well, that's what they are doing. The only thing is try not to go in the winter, it's cold (sometimes rainy)and you won't get a good view in the bus. Overall, I've enjoyed the trip, wishing to come back next summer and go with them again.

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.

very good guide - easy to understand - with personal comments - interesting information, especially for people with interest for movies - and for teenagers who are watching TV-series - but others could also enjoy the tour

We thought the tour was entertaining, but it would have been more interesting if it included more locations from more current and very popular movies. Some of the locations we went to were spots for movies I haven't heard of. Also, I remember reading that the tour will show Meg Ryan's bookstore in You've Got Mail, and we didn't stop there. Nevertheless, our tour guide Kimberly was very cheerful and energetic and kept us entertained for the whole 3 hours.

This was a well run very informative and comprehensive tour. It is full value for the money. The tour guide was fantastic and the short movie clips on the bus of the places visited was a great touch. Probably the best tour we had on our first trip to New York

It was a great tour, and the tour guide was amazing as well.
