| This is an excellent tour for people who love movies. It shows you a different side to New York that you don't get from the usual tours and points out places you walk past without even knowing they are there. The guide is very informative and helpful which helps make this a tour to be remembered!! |

| We really enjoyed our tour. The guide was funny and really knew his stuff when it came to filming and details. He took pictures of the families and made sure it was a family type tour however those without families loved it too. The bus itself had video problems and the guide took it on to improve it for his customers and got a new bus. Very few people go the extra mile these days but he did and it showed in everything he did with the tour. There were videos shown about the areas you would see which made it all come to life. I learned a lot of new things about the city. We have been to NY many times and we all agreed this was one of the best things we've ever done!!!! |

| 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. |

| My husband and I (along with 2 sons, 17 and 15) went on the TV and Movies Site tour last Friday, and really enjoyed it. Kimberley gave us so much information, she spoke clearly and concisely, and we were never in any doubt which building we should be looking at out of the coach window. The movie clips shown on board were useful and made the inevitable traffic jams practically unnoticeable! I would definitely recommend this tour, and Kimberley was great - funny but informative.We now want to go out and rewatch loads of movies. Thanks! |

| For any American TV and film enthusiasts this is something that must be on your list for things to do in NYC. Roseanne was incredibley funny and knowledgeable and the tour was no stop! It was also very helpful to have actually film/tv clips on the bus so you could watch and relive the building you had just seen! Fantastic! |

| It is a definite must do! I was with my mum, sister and friend on a week stay in New York, so we had plenty of time to do the tour! we werent sure what to expect but what we got was amazin. The tour guide was brilliant and very enthusiastic! The tour lasts for 3 and a half hours and i have to say the time flew by. You have a chance to stop and have food on the tour, which is at a plac which is in a movie, which is very excitin!Some of the films mentioned we didnt no but they show clips of the movies in which the place i used which we found very helpful and you do get off the bus at least 5 times allowing you to get up close to the movie "sets". it is a definite must do on your trip to New York! |

| great tour to go on if you are new to NY. Shows you so many sites of film and TV shows, as well as stopping at various places like the Friends apartment, the Cosby house, and the Ghostbusters firestation for pictures. tour guide was entertaining and sang to keep us amused. pizza was excellent, cookies were great, overall a very good tour.
we liked the way we were shown the clip right before we saw the location.
tour was updated with recent references to shows like Gossip Girl and 30 Rock.
Highly recommended. |

| This was a great tour. Our guide, Kymberley, was full of knowledge and obviously passionate about TV and movies. It was good to see the places for real that have been in tv shows and movies. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to audiences of all ages |

Too much bus, not enough sites...

| My party found the tour a little lightweight with no real major sites - with a couple of exceptions - and when I think about the number of options available to be chosen for the tour we were a little underwhelmed.
Maybe as visitors from the UK some of the US domestic TV sites / references weren't so relevant for us (but presumably this would also be true for the majority of trippers, as was the case on our tour with only a small number of US people on board) and the clips shown on the bus went by so quick that if you blinked you would have missed a number of them !
On a purely operational perspective, we often were at the same locations as the second tour bus at the same time, leading to wait times and totally catching Ben's Pizza off guard as I overheard one of the staff saying that they really were only expecting 50 people at a time...
Finally, my wife used the on board bathroom....it wasn't pleasant.
Hope this helps (trying to be constructive)
