| I took my teen girls and they really enjoyed it. I'm not much of a TV or movie fan but it was still interesting. The Tour Guide was very nice. |

| We had a wonderful time on this tour! My husband even enjoyed it! I just wish it could have been a little more spontaneous. Pink was singing in Rockefeller Center and I would have loved to have been able to pull the bus over and watch her for a little while. I understand the tour is on a time crunch, but I think everyone on the tour is looking to see a celebrity, so that would have been great. Other than that, I loved the tour and would do it again. |

| The tour was fun but on the coldest day this year the heating in the bus didn't work. |

Some of this was not your fault

| To much construction and buses got in the way of seeing things. Not sure you could have done much about it other than change the time, maybe should be earlier in the morning or late afternoon.
Would have liked to see location shots of more recent and more popular movies. |

Very Interesting Tour!

| I went on this tour with my teenage daughter. The tour was a lot of fun and we saw many interesting sites. The movies and TV shows discussed were for all age groups, however, there were a few that neither my daughter or I had seen. Our tour guide did an excellent job- I believe his name was Gary. He showed great enthusiasm. I would absolutely recommend this tour to my friends who are visiting New York in the future. |

| Cute idea to showcase movie and tv locations. However, needs some updating....The Cosby brownstone, are you kidding me?! How outdated is that! Even friends and seinfeld are past their prime. The guide was very engaging and informative. She saved the whole experience. The black and white cookies were a nice touch, but overall I would not receommend it for $32. Maybe $10? |

| I go to NY at least 3 or 4 times a year usually just to shop, but it gets boring after a while. So I went online and tried to get onto the food tours but they were sold out. So I found the NY movie tours and the Manhattan tour was was available during the week so I booked it for a friend and myself. It was really quite interesting. We never get down to soho or the village so it was nice to see different parts of NY. Usually were uptown I really advise you to take the tour it was a lot of fun! |

| We very much liked the movie and TV tour of Manhattan. The only fault we came across was that there was too much emphasis on Sex and the City and the Sopranos - which both have their own tour, so there really was no need to mention those two shows quite so much. It would also have been good to include a drive past the big studios that are in Manhattan - like the NBC and CBS studios etc. so we could see where our favourite shows are broadcast from.
Saying that, it was great to see the locations in which so many TV shows and movies were filmed. You get back home and you keep saying "I've seen that or I've been there!!!!" when you watch something.
I really liked the pop quiz that was done on the coach. There really are some anoraks out there!!! ( Me included I think! )
I would recommend the tour as you not only get to see the locations, but you also get to see some more of part of the most wonderful and amazing city in the world! |

| Brian was a good tour guide. My only problem was that the bus was a little late to pick us up. No fault of Brian's. Because it was so hot, the bus driver was having trouble keeping the bus cool. |

| I would highly recommend this tour!
I attended with 3 girls (aged 17 and 19). They went mainly to see the location of the 'Friends' building, and 'Wil and Grace'. Seeing the location for 'Wait Until Dark', with Audrey Hepburn was an unexpected bonus.
My teenagers were not familiar with many of the older movies or TV shows that were mentioned, but were thrilled just to see an actual site location. The movie clips shown during the tour, and the mix of walking short distances, along with the bus tour, were a great combination of activities.
The tour also offered a good way to see the different areas of New York, to aid in planning the rest of our visit. |
