| We had a wonderful time on the tour. Brian was a superb guide, very funny, good local knowledge. Great that he had lived around the city and could speak from experience.
Seeing the clips from the films after seeing the actual places was a stroke of genius.
We now have a long list of films to see or re-see with added knowledge.
The tour was at the start of our holiday and gave us a feel for the city and highlighted many places we went on to see.
We feel we now understand New York better, from an insiders point of view.
Well done Brian and many thanks |

| First and foremost, the tour guide was a really nice guy and given how cold it was, we were relieved when we saw that we were on a heated coach.
The tour itself was good. Some key sites pointed out from very key films, ranging from the Godfather to Hitch. Saw the Friends apartments and also where Ghostbusters was set.
I would recommend it but to be honest, I wanted to go on the Sopranos tour but the wife wasn't keen! |

| The On Location New York TV and Movie Sites Tour is fantastic. In our group their were teenagers and grown ups and we all thought it was terrific. The guide was informative and entertaining. The guide provided so much information and had a terrific sense of humour. Our whole group had a lot of fun. The tour is great value for money. I highly recommend this tour. |

| I highly recommend this tour that shows locations of both new and old well known TV programmes and Movies. As a family there was something for everyone and we even had breakfast at Ellens diner - They sang as they served the food! |

| As a group of six girls on a girlie weekend, we were really looking forward to doing a sightseeing tour. Three in the group had visited NY before and for the other three it was their first time. So we wanted a tour that was fun and showed off the city. This was neither. Not only did we not cover that much ground (despite it being a 3 hr tour) but our guide 'Missy' was an 'aspiring' actress who never failed to link a story about her a) self b) apartment c) friends d) family e) job. I guess if you like Seinfeld (none of us watched it) or you liked the movie Spiderman you would have learned a few things...also if you were familiar with some older US sitcoms you might have enjoyed it better. The best thing about this tour is the pick up point - across the road from Stardust Diner - now that's definitely worth going to - the waiters and waitresses take it in turn to sing which is fun!
So, not worth the $30 I'm afraid - although with that said with a different tour guide the information may have been better. They need to update their movie knowledge and trivia. |

| I had a great time on the tour. My tour guide was the best part of the tour. We had some sort of problem with the bus, and he handled it very well. |

| I was going to be in NY for one day only. I wanted to see as much of NY as possible in one day, so i thought of a tour. It was a great idea. This tour was entertaining, interesting and just a great way to learn about and enjoy the city. I highly recommend the tour for first time visitors especially. |

| My tour guide, Jessica, was fantastic, bubbly, and entertaining. Even though I've been to New York numerous times, I felt this tour definitely added a unique view into the spirit of this wonderful city and its citizens. Thank you, Jessica! |
