New York TV and Movie Sites

The tour guide was great. She was very enthusiastic and informative and really knew the movie and TV industry in NY. Great personality to be a tour guide. Got to see a lot of neighborhoods that we hadn't seen by walking. A lot of fun trivia questions that she got lots of people to participate in. Went to a lot of places we all know by sight - Friends apartment building, Cosby house, etc. Was great to see these places in person after seeing them on TV all those years. Lots of interesting info like looking for the movie permits on telephone poles to see what is being filmed, why they choose certain locations to film, camera angles, what was currently being filmed, etc. Only negative is they go to a lot of sights related to Spiderman and Hitch. If you hadn't seen those 2 movies the tour wasn't as interesting. I had seen hitch but still didn't know some of the sights. She talked about where different celebrities lived but would have liked more info on the celebrities themselves that act in these shows - the hot places to shop, restaurants, how much some of these apartments cost to purchase, etc.

This is a very good tour. The tour guide is great, very energetic with lots of facts and fun. It is a set out well with lots of interaction, good stops, lots of infomration and with trivia questions. very well reccommended as it makes what you see on TV and in movies become real.

We enjoyed the tour. The guide, Roseanne (or something like that) was chock full of information. She talked so fast, my southern ears could barely keep up. I can only imagine foreign guests trying to understand, but that's OK. It was interesting. I guess I was under the impression that we would see some actual sets where shows have been filmed. The promo led me to believe that we would see something from Friends and Seinfeld. All we saw was the outside of a building. We couldn't see Soup Nazi. I was unaware that Friends was not filmed in NY. All in all, I recommend the tour, particularly to get an overall look at urban scenes from lower Manhattan.

Our guide was a very enthusiastic actor who lives in NY and was raised there. She had an incredible knowledge of New York locations. She sang a little bit and her energy level stayed high for the whole trip. I have been to NY many times, but enjoyed seeing parts of Greenwich Village I had never seen. My 12 year old daughter enjoyed the tour as much as I did. My suggestions -- do not drink much water or coffee before the tour. I have an aversion to bus toilets, so I had to wait until we were more than two hours into the tour to use a restroom. Make sure you are familiar with Friends and Spiderman before you take this tour because there are lots of references.

Great tour- it was fun seeing places that you see in so many TV shows or movies. Also adding to the enjoyment was a great tour guide (Roseanne), who was very enthusiastic and full of fascinating little stories about the sites and the city as a whole. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Tour guide did a nice job in bad weather. The weather did make the tour a little less enjoyable.

I really enjoyed seeing the city and the various locations used in movies and TV shows. However I thought the stops weren't very imaginative. The Cosby Show hasn't been on TV for some years and seems a little outdated. The rice pudding shop was almost pointless and I had no interest in the Empire Diner. The tour conductor was great - very informative, friendly and engaging. I realise that you have to cater to a wide variety of movie and tv tastes but think there were some major exclusions, eg. the diner from Seinfeld.

We really enjoyed seeing all the sites from movies and T.V. ! It is also a great way to see the city!

i really liked the tour, it was fun and a great way to see all the dfferent neighborhoods around new york, which was good for me since im moving there soon

Our tour guide was full of energy and had a great personality. The tour was a perfect way to tour the city on a rainy day. There are a couple fun photo opportunities along the way when. I would recommend this to friends.
