| Tour was alright, seemed a little long and boring at times. Would have liked to seen more current sites. The Cosby Show, Ghost Busters and Friends have been off the air for some time. Should have done the Greenwich Food one instead. Overall the driver and guide were satisfactory |

Well worth it

| I really enjoyed our tour and tour guide Roseanne.
It is always wonderful to have a guide who is from the area and really knows her stuff.
We enjoyed the signing, the cookies and most of all the sights.
Thank you for a great afternoon.

| Brian is a great guide and has a lot of "geeky" information on movies and TV shows - hilarious! the bus was really clean and comfortable and the AC felt great (it was an extremely hot day). there aren't many stops but they're well placed. i can only recommend this tour. |

| My adult children and I took the tour. My son and daughter-in-law live in New York. For my daughter, it was the first trip to New York, and a sixth visit for me. Each of us learned a lot about the city by taking the tour. The guide was entertaining and very knowledgeable about the whole process of making movies in the city. The bus was very comfortable, especially on a really hot day in New York. If you love movies and television shows, this is a great tour, and if you're real lucky, you might even get to see one being filmed. |

| For out of towners, it was decent and people seemed to take a lot of pictures. For people that live in NYC, not so great. A lot of the movies referenced on the tour were old movies. The guide called the Meat Packing District "MEPA" which NO ONE that lives in NYC calls it (I've asked around since the tour). I know the tour IS more geared toward out of towners, so I understand.
A bit too long, not enough stops. I did like having the movie/tv clips.
We were a group of 6. We arrived 15 minutes early as indicated and we weren't able to sit together and there was no attempt to help that. I had to sit in the front by myself, one other person sat by herself and the other 4 were scattered in 2s. I would think that when a group larger than 2 books a tour, perhaps seats are saved for them rather than just a fend for yourself type of thing. For groups of 2-3, I can understand, but for larger groups, it should be part of the booking process.
I don't think I would recommend it, even to out of towners. |

| Our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. Her knowledge extended across several decades to reach all audiences. We learned more about the vast array of TV shows and movies that are filmed in New York than we could ever imagine. The number of walks was perfect. |

| Hey there.....
Good day from your new Canadian friend. All I have to say is what a treat it was to participate in this tour. A stop at the Friends building was great ... as was the Cosby house. All off the beaten track -- and a lot of fun. Perhaps you might consider adding the Seinfeld diner in the future -- just a thought.
All in all I really enjoyed this tour.
Thanks for everything! |

Movies and TV are a distortion of reality.

| I'm a dedicated film buff, so this tour was especially relevant to me. It provides an interesting alternative to the standard tour bus experience. The tour guide, Kymberly, was very knowledgeable and it also helped that she was an actor who could bring some showbiz scoop to the tour.
What I found most interesting was the difference between the reality of the locations and what we finally see onscreen - there appears to be a fair degree of distortion (such as the actual height of the Friends building), which makes it all the more interesting and fun.
I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in movies and TV shows. And if you only have a passing interest, it's still very entertaining and enjoyable. |

| Being disappointed that the Sex and the City Tour was sold out on the day we wanted, we signed up for the New York TV and Movie Sites Tour. This tour was fabulous and much more than I expected. Not only did we see TV and movie sites but we also got to see parts of New York City that we probably wouldn't have seen by ourseves. We also learned more about the filming of some of the movies and TV shows and how to spot when there was filming going on in a certain area of the city, We got a lot of ideas for other things to do in the City. Our tour guide, Kim, was absolutely wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and answered all questions asked of her. The rerouting of our tour because of a parade that the company was not infomred about did not phase her at all. She was also our personal photographer and patiently took pictures for everyone. The tour bus was wonderfully clean and comfortable. Our driver was patient, flexible and knowledgeable about city streets. We didn't miss a beat with the rerouting of our tour because of the parade. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone, old and young alike. I personally plan on taking another of Zerve's tours next time I am in NYC. Very, very interesting and fun. A fabulous way to see NYC and spend around 3 hours of your time. We wish it had been longer!!! |
