Good tour overall, but watch your NY movies before

Overall, the tour was great. Our tour guide was wonderful -- very enthusastic and knowledgeable about movies. The bus tour and video clips were great. My only complaint is that I wasn't familiar with most of the movies. Understandable, there are so many movies filmed in New York so it is hard to get a good mix of ones that everybody knows (the clips help), and it was a good mix of old and new -- but it would be better if some more well known movies were done with clips where you could see the actual place you were visiting (not movie sets or nonrecognizable clips).

Kimberly, our tour guide, was extraordinary. She was vibrant, informed, funny and knows that city like the back of her hand. I would do this tour again when I return to the city.

Worth the trip

I loved the Movie and Television trip, but just expect that there are only 5 places where you phisically get off the bus and look around. Yes, the friends building, and the cosby house are two of those stops. Everything else like The Soup Natzi, and other scenes from Friends, Spiderman, and other movies are "If you look out the window to your left, there is the building Chandler works in". You go by the majority of the stops very quickly, you might luck out if you are stuck in a traffic light, but ask the tour guide which side of the bus you should sit in for certain sites. I was on the wrong side of the bus for the "Coyote Ugly" bar, and that movie means so much to me, and I didn't get a picture of it. The only thing I got was the woman's face across from me. But if you go in with the mindset that you will zoom by most sites, and only stop for a few, you'll love to tour. The tour is worth it alone for the Friends building and the Cosby House.

49 year old mom and 12 year old daughter both enjoyed the tour. Seeing locations from favorite TV shows (and some not so favorite!), and many movies we've seen (and some we haven't!) was an enjoyable way to spend 3 1/2 hours! The weather was beautiful. Also was a fun way to see lots of NYC neighborhoods. Don't miss the rice pudding--it's yummy. Thanks to Brian. He was full of fun, enthusiasm, and lots of interesting tidbits.

Definitely recommended for TV and movie buffs

Enjoyed tour very much with a very enthusiastic "struggling actor" who positively knew his way around New York and his knowledge of TV and movies along with the actors was a big plus.

Pretty good but...

My family was in town on visit, and we thought this would be a good way to see the sights of NYC as well as add some movie highlights to our lives. The tour guide, Brian, was fantastic. I guess my only disappointment was that most of the sights were from older movies that I have not seen. Others might not have such a problem. It was great though, that they showed movie clips as refreshers for everyone....otherwise I'm afraid I really would have had no clue.

A great way to see the city and familiar sites!

My friend and I took this tour, as it was my first trip to New York, and we only had a few days to squeeze everything in. This tour pointed out a great combination of television, movie and stars homes locations. We covered many of the well known areas in Manhattan like SoHo, Tribecca, the Meat Packing district, etc. There's no way we could have seen so much of the city on our own in that short of a time. The tour bus was very comfortable, and there were a few stops along the way to walk, take pictures and even get a snack. Our tour guide was adorable and never lost her enthusiasm. The movie and tv clips shown along the tour were also helpful rather than trying to rack my brain remembering where I'd seen the sites in entertianment before. Due to traffic and a legal holiday/parade, the 3 hour tour turned into 4 hours, but there were opportunities to leave if need be. I am looking forward to a return trip to NY where I'd like to take the Central Park walking tour as well!

I was expecting more movie locations and less tv .

I was really looking forward to this tour as last Spring I had taken The Sex and The city tour. We had an unfortunate and unforeseen beginning to this tour as traffic was a nighmare. The reason for this was because of the Veterans Day parade. I was expecting to visit more movie sites such as where films were shot in Central Park and other locations. I thought too much emphasis was placed on Friends and Seinfield. Our tour director was very good. She worked hard at keeping us focused when we were in the traffic jams. She also was very knowledgeable about all the sites, etc. I would use Zerve again for another tour. Thank you for asking my feedback.
