| We really enjoyed the tour, although felt it was a bit long at times. Gary was our tour guide, and he was a lot of fun and really into a lot of the movies that he talked about, which helped to get everyone in it. |

| With all the movies made in New York, you would think you would be stopping for pictures at better locations than Ghost Busters, though. |

For movie buffs

| I loved this tour and enjoyed seeing the sights I knew so well from film and tv. However, people with limited knowledge or interest may not find it interesting. I would probably have preferred it if there had been more variety i.e less Ghopstbusters stuff and more classics. It was a shame that it got dark a third of the way thorugh the tour so we couldn't see too well, but apart from that ti was great! Gary knew heaps about the sites and the background information and was a very entertaining presenter. I could have done without quite so many personal stories that weren't movie-related though.
My favourite spots were the Friends apartment, Washington Square Park and the fire station from Hitch. |

| Overall, I thought the tour was fantastic. It literally showed me everything I ever wanted to see/learn about tv/movies. The tour was pretty much split evenly between tv and movie locations, although I thought it spent a little too much time talking about Spiderman and Enchanted. Our tour guide, Jessica, was extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter, as well as extremely enthusiastic. My one recommendation would be to do one of the morning tours (if you go during the winter, that is). The place I most wanted to see was Monica and Chandler’s apartment from Friends; however, it was one of our last stops so, by the time we got there, I couldn’t get a good picture! Loved the tour, though!! |

| Went on this trip with our adult children/children in law. Some of the tv and movie locations were easily recognised by my husband and I and some more recognised by our younger companions which meant the different age groups could add information to make the locations more interesting for us all. Jessica was very informative and friendly, only ciritisism would be, when we got off the bus (we were almost on the back seat) at the various locations we had to try and catch up with the start of the group which was difficult with such crowded streets we almost lost sight of them at times. |

A little disappointing...

| During Christmas week, we did not need to go down 5th Avenue. Would have loved to see a movie set in production but with the holiday, I got that it was on hiatus. Thought the t.v. portion was too much. My kids loved the trivia and I thought the tour guide was knowlegable but not that interesting. |

| I would highly recommend this tour to everyone. It was very interesting and entertaining. Gary (the guy who did the tour) was funny and loved the audience participation. This was a really really good way to get to see a lot of the city. I would definitely go on this tour again. |

| We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Gary was extremely informative and helpful, and definately added to the enjoyment of it.
It's definately a tour for the TV & Movie lovers, as three hours is quite a long time stuck on a bus, especially if it's your first time in NY. We really enjoyed getting off at the few stops we made, as that was really only the opportunity we had to take some decent pictures. My favourite bit was seeing the Friends building!
Only thing we would of liked more of is to stop at a few more locations, but we realise the reason we didn't, is because you can't fit in all that we saw in three hours.
So maybe something for the future, fewer sites and more stops??
Overall a great morning/afternoon out. When i come back to NY i would consider booking another tour through yourselves. |

| The tour is well organised. I would have prefered a bus without dark windows to see better outside. I think they should have shown some more Woody Allen sites. |
