| I throughly enjoyed this tour of New York's TV and film sites. You get to see loads of different areas and they also show film clips on the bus of the sites you just visited. It covers loads of films and tv shows and is also really good fun. I'd recommend this tour to everyone. |

Enjoyable and educational

| Overall the tour was very well laid out and the driver had to squeeze through a couple of tight spots, thanks to the New York traffic. We did wait a few extra minutes for the bus to leave because the starting point was on the opposite side of the street and people just gravitated to the bus. Luckily we did make it. It was a very nice and warm day and we met a pleasant couple while on the tour. We saw parts of Manhattan that we had never seen. Although 3 and a half hours is a bit much on a bus that's really the only way to see it. It's a good tour to go on and our hostess was very nice and knowledgeable. |

| We are French and we join the on tour location during our vacation in NYC. I would not recomment this tour to people to foreign tourists because the tour is only in English and even if I speak English, I couldn't understand nothing. It is a pity the tour is only in English. And that there is no leaflet in other languages.
Moreover, the bus is not appropriate to see the city. and open bus is needed. |

Tons of sites but hard to appreciate

| The guide was great but he raddled off sooo much as we just drove by. I needed more connection between the movie clips and the sites. I wanted to see what it was like in the movie and then what it was like in real life either right before or right after. This was only done once or twice. Most things we only drove past. Maybe you could have a enthusiast's tour and a highlights tour for the people who just want to drive by.
It was great when our guide was able to tell us how movies were made and tried to get us near some on-locations shoots (no luck though). I would personally like more of that and possibly some movies clips about what it's like to shoot in NYC.
the MIB pizza and Seinfeld Cookie were great as well as being able to see and learn about different parts of NYC was all an added bonus. |

| Emphasis is on sites connected with those television programs as well as the recent Spider Man films and Enchanted. The chance to get off the bus a couple of times is nice, especially when one stop includes an opportunity to buy a slice of pizza. For a fan of iconic New York film directors like Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese, there was next to nothing offered, though perhaps that should not be expected from a mainstream tour. |

| Everything was great with this tour.....except our driver. Our tour guide is a working actor with lots of movie / tv knowledge of New York and more.
Tour was great and the bus was very nice for riding around for a couple hours.
Only downside was our Bus Driver who drove WAY TOO FAST past a bunch of sites and our tour guide had to constantly ask him to slow down.
Lunch stop and cookie was snack was a nice bonus.
I definately recommend this tour. |

| We enjoyed the tour very much. My son and I live in NYC and learned a lot we didn't know - the clips brought it to life. Our friends were over from England and enjoyed seeing the city from the bus.
The bus had a transmission problem which made the ride very uncomfortable at times.
The tour started late - for no apparent reason - and the Friday afternoon traffic made us further late. We were 3/4 hour late finishing which was inconvenient for us as we had a restaurant reservation - I would have preferred that we had made less stops to make up the time. The pizza stop was unnecessary as the landmark was not particularly interesting and wasted half an hour. The other stops were fine. The black and white cakes were a very nice touch.
Our guide was very entertaining. |
