| This is especially fun if you are into learning about where some of your favorite tv and movies were made. |

| Of all the tours my 16-year-old daughter and I did while in New York, this was the most enjoyable.
Brian, our tour guide, was friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining.
It was great to see clips of the shows/movies before arriving at the location and then getting the opportunity to see the locations.
I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting NYC! |

| A birthday trip for my mum in New York. Very cold weather this March meant that most activities needed to be under cover. This was a prefect way to see the West village, Chelsea, Tibeca and other areas plus keep warm. Short strolls from the bus kept one a little active. An enthusiastic and informative guide with a lovely smile. All in all we had a good time on this trip. |

| If you are an avid tv watcher and a movie buff, then you will LOVE this tour. You get to see lots of locations of where classic tv shows and movies were shot and then you get to see clips of those shows and movies with the buildings that you are at or have seen - very cool! It is also a great way to see a large part of the City, because you are all over, in many different neighborhoods. I especially liked seeing these neat, little tucked away streets, that I never even knew existed in the bustling City. The tour guides are really knowledgeable and fun to listen to. I traveled there with three girlfriends and all of us had a great time. We will definitely recommend this tour to our family and friends! |

| My friend and I enjoyed the tour very much. I was hoping to stop at more places than we did but glad to be able to have photo ops at the places we did stop. The tour guide was great, a little quick with her descriptions and a little hard to follow at times. Might need to update the tour a little. Some of the places she mentioned are from much older movies and I noticed a lot of us were in the 20-30 range. All in all, it was good and very glad I did it. |

| Particular complements to our guide, who smoothly interchanged video clips, commentaries and walks to fit in with traffic conditions and numerous filming locations which were underway on the day. |

Video Clips Distracting

| I know it sounds odd to say that the movie clips were distracting on a movie tour, but the tour guide would not show the clips until after we had passed by the location, sometimes well after we had ridden by the areas on the clips. She did a lot of re-winding and showing (of course, well after we had gone by the location). Not all of the screens were working all the time either and there was a lot of static and jumpy pictures. It gave me a slight headache.
It would have been better to have seen the clips and then seen the location live and up close. A suggestion for use of the video clips would be to have the screen show the tilte of the movie and the year it was made, along with stars's names, then have the clip show and simply run a continuous loop of all of the clips during the tour.
The trivia questions were fun, but the crowd got a little tired of all of the "Friends" questions. A number of African-Americans on our bus had never even seen the show. It might be a good idea to include some locations featuring some films of interest for them.
The tour guide was okay, but was a little ditsy acting, especially when the video equipment did not cooperate.
The bus driver was extremely competent and I was most impressed with his handling of the big bus on some of the narrow sections we rode through.
The black and white cookies, while a nice touch for a treat, were stale.
The information on films currently filming in the city was also a nice touch.
The rice pudding store was unimpressive and did not add anything to the experience. |
