| I went with my husband and 12 and 15 year olds. we all enjoyed it very much. It introduced us to new areas of NYC that we were less familiar with and have not stayed in. It allows you to cover alot of ground that you couldn't by foot. Our guide was really good!!!! All went smoothly and effortlessly. I have no hesitation reccomending the tour! |

Great way to see NYC and spot film/TV locations

| We're a family of 4 with daughters aged 12 and 15.
We were fortunate to have a bright and dry day (it was mid Feb), so the 4 or 5 stops to get off and take pics were fine - wouldn't be so good on a wet day.
Tour guide (Brian) was excellent - has an encyclopedic (some might say geeky!) knowledge of films and TV (US sit-coms mainly). As Brits, some of these were unknown to us, but better known to our girls.
A great feature is the way that they show film clips throughout the tour on the on-bus TVs, usually just after you've seen the location/building.
Particularly enjoyed seeing the area with the old jazz/blues clubs, and the girls loved seeing the Friends apartment block and the fountain from the Friends' credits sequence.
Do this early in your visit to NYC, as it really helps you sort out the various districts so you can priotise your itinerary.
Great tour - thanks. |

| It's hard to find something fun to do in NYC for a 16-yr-old teenage boy and his mom. This tour was perfect. The actors and shows he knew, I didn't know and visa versa so we both had fun. Brian's treats (the Seinfeld cookie and stopping at Rice to Riches) made the trip even more fun. I definitely felt I got my money's worth. I was especially pleased to see my son having a good time and laughing at all Brian's lame but funny and much appreciated jokes. Loved all his personal anecdotes, too! You should give him a huge raise/bonus! |

| Very enjoyable. Great tour guide who was well informed. Covered a lot. Would recommend for anyone visiting NYC and/or interested in movies and TV. Rice pudding was an extra treat. |

I originally scheduled this to attend with my 15 year old son. He got sick at the last minute, so my husband and I took the tour. In retrospect, it's a good thing my son wasn't able to attend. It was too sedentary for someone his age. Also, a lot of the references to movies were too old for him to appreciate. It's a nice tour of the city... we went on a bitterly cold day, so seeing the sites from inside a warm bus was welcome. Two things I wasn't crazy about 1) the bus windows needed to be washed. When the sun was shining, between the glare from the sun and the dirt on the windows, it was difficult to see and 2) the sink in the bus restroom wasn't working. That's an issue on a 3+ hour tour! |

| a most informative tour with a most excellent and entertaining guide. Considering I'm not a movie buff I still found points of interest along the route. Bit of a pity about the traffic, but guess that's New York for you! Thought the Rice to Riches was good, but they really do need to come over to the UK and try my mums first!
Despite an overdose of Seinfeld locations they still couldn't sell me the programme, but I'm sure I'll watch a bit more on the TV just to say 'seen that'.
Well recommended and hope anyone else enjoys it as much as my family and I.
One of the most 'sit back and relax' tours of NY. Enjoy

| It was my second time on the movie tour and I enjoyed it even more this time than the first time. It was thick snow when we were in New York and I was dreading getting on and off the the bus but our tour guide did the outside bits quicker to make it easier to cope with. I was also pleased to see that new sights had been added to update the tour from more reacent films. |
