| This was our first day in New York and an amazing experience to introduce us to the city as we see it on tv in britain. Good for the movie and tv sites but also the life of New York, visiting a pizza parlour and those special black and white cookies from Friends. Rose Anne was our Guide and full of enthusiasm and a vast knowledge of both the industry and the City. This was part of my 60th birthday present visit to New York and my daughter is in her Twenties so it appealled to all ages, and all modern and older films were covered. Thank you to Rose Anne for a good start to our holidays |

| This was a good trip, enthusiastically led by our guide Roseanne. I found it interesting and full of interesting trivia. My only suggestion is perhaps a couple more stops could be done in the beginning where you actually get off the bus to take some photos, instead of trying to do it through a window. |

| Our teenage kids really liked it - a chance to see many parts of the city in a few short hours, without navigating buses and subways. Gary, the tour guide was friendly, patient and very entertaining - he appealed to the movie buff, the sightseer and the silly 'sing the TV theme songs' in all of us. He added some historical significance, not just pop culture, and managed to fit in some quick stops for snacks. Perfect mix to our prior day's Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island. Comfortable bus, safe driver, well worth the money even for four of us. |

| It was great to see the movie clips. I haven't seen all the movies so that helped put the scene into perspective. |

| I forget the guide's name. Was it Gary? He said he performs from time to time at an improv theater if that helps narrow it down. (Also, he told a story about a birthday-gone-awry where a friend dragged him to an off-off-off-broadway production of War Games.) Anyway, this guy's knowledge about film and New York blew me away. He was extremely well-spoken, affable, witty, and he told a great story.
Ah hell, I'll just come right out and say it. He makes me consider giving up women and heterosexual relationships to instead settle down in a platonic relationship with a male life-partner.
Seriously, though, he made the tour. |

| Coming from Brussels, Belgium, we weren't used to having so many films coming to our neighbourhood.. infact, we got hardly any. So it was a real treat to be able to meander round New York and get an idea of what a hot spot it really is. The tour was very easy to enjoy - you got to sit back, relax and get great views of your surroundings. Our tour guide, Brian, was very funny and nice which made a huge difference - and the trip was organised so that stops for food could be made (we were even given huge cookies!). The tour had a little bit of everything - ranging from Spiderman to Breakfast At Tiffany's. On the whole, it was a really worthwhile tour. You got a tour of the city, along with insights into different film locations (and the various film clips to prove them). |

| I enjoyed the tour and saw things I wouldn't have gotten to see otherwise.
But...you zoom by the site in a flash as the guide tills you "that was used in_____
film. Would have been nice to hear some stories behind the scenes. |

Excellent Tour
