| The whole tour was very well thought out, and the guide had very good knowledge of the tour sites. The surprise gift (cookies) was nice.
I will go to another of their tours when I am back in NYC.

| I went on the TV/Movie tour with my girlfriends. We came to NY from Chicago for my bachelorette party. We had SUCH A GREAT TIME seeing the city and all the places that were used in movies and tv shows. We even got to drive by an area that was being set up for Will Smith's next movie! New York is such a big place, and there's so much to see, so I am so glad that we were introduced to each area by our tour guide. I am planning to return to NY sometime and am definitely going to do this tour with my husband :) |

| We really enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide was very knowlegable! I wish we didn't stop at the "Rice to riches". I was not impressed with the food. My husband had wished that we could have toured more of the Ghostbuster firestation. Otherwise we enjoyed ourselves! |

Great guide, shame about the bus

| Had a couple of family members visiting from the UK and they had limited time and energy so we booked the TV tour. Bus was broken - the bus company seem like a bunch of idiots and not very safe to be renting out vehicles they know don't work very well. Do they want a lawsuit? Our guide was very nice though and was quick to offer us alternatives if we had time to do the trip another day - we didn't so hopped on the replacement bus, which unfortunately didn't have video.
On the tour, would be better to spend more time seeing current and popular shows - everything went by in a blur and a lot was US-centric only. I don't think the Cosby show is of much interest any more. A bathroom break would have been good too as our second coach didn't have one. |

Interesting and informative.

| I booked this tour for myself and 6 drama students from the UK. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour as we saw not only well known places but also some out of the way locations we would never have found without the tour. |

| The tour was ok. I thought it focused to much on "Friends". Also I think that you need a tour that is just a movie tour. Also this one was focused on the entire South end of the city. What about the upper west side and east side and harlem. |

| The tour guide was very good very enthusthiatic and she made it fun. I was very disappointed with the tour. I mean almost every movie is filmed in new york and we didn't get to see that much... I was very disappointed with the fact that they took us to the Friends building when it wasn't even filmed there... i really didn't see the point.. i am a big movie freak and expected a lot more!! There really wasn't a lot to see and it was all fixed on one movie Enchanted, which is a good movie but not the only movie filmed there.. i mean it is new york and we got stuck seeing a building that wasn't even used there. It was also informative about how the movies and show make it unrealistic and how the locations don't match but a lot of the tour was about that and not about them showing us new york!! I mean its New york i am sure there is a lot more we can see.. in a lot of movies you see the Empire State Building the Statue of Liberty and we didn't even get close to this instead they show us the Bill Crosby house... which looks nothing like the show. I was just so disappointed the only thing that made the tour good was our tour guide she was very good. |

| 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. |

| This tour served 2 purposes for our group, we got to see a tour of Manhattan and we also got to witness some interesting facts and sites from pop culture. We left the tour amazed at how much our tour guide knew, and also enjoyed the movie clips of the sites we visited (for those of us who haven't seen all of the movies). I would definitely recommend this tour to tourists and native New Yorkers alike! |
