The tour guides were great. Kim was in our tour bus and in fine form- she imparted a huge amount of information about each site we visited and drove by and shared several anecdotes about the TV and movie stars and structures on our way. I highly recommend the bus tour. |

The tour provided a good insight into the many sights and locations in New York that have been used in TV an Movies. The tour guides knowledge of the sights and the movies and televison shows where they appeared was good and provided and extra dimension to the tour.
Highly recommended |

The tour was pretty much what I expected. We were shown a lot of the sites where movie and TV show were actually shot. The guide included enough detail to be interesting and not so much as to be overwhelming. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to talk about each area in detail. |

My six year old son and I took the TV and movie tour on a Saturday. We got to see all of the sites that all of the other people mention so I won't be redundant by disucssing all of them at length. My son and I had a lot of fun. Here are some observations that I have not yet read by others.
I think that because there are always such a wide cross section of tourists,the tour guides must cater to the greatest common denominator. Our guide was extremely plesant and friendly, but made no assumptions regarding our knowledge of show business or American popular culture in general. He asked us if we have ever heard of a bookstore called Barnes & Noble at one point. I dont think he was able to give as much detail or specifics about things for fear of some tour members not knowing what he was talking about. Our group was pretty "dead", so maybe he assumed we were all foreign and/or clueless. Id suggest a beginners and an advanced tour.
Also, the tour was a bit movie-heavy in my opinion. So many of the TV classics were set in New York but not even mentioned, like Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, Dick Van Dyke and All in the Family. I understand that there may not be literally anything to see from those shows, but it could be mentioned that a certain show took place in a neighborhood as we drove through it.
I would also like to hear about how to get tickets to talk-show/game shows that film in New York. My son looking forward to seeing where Who Wants to Be a Millioniare is filmed-but it wasn't mentioned. David Letterman's studio was within throwing distance of where the bus picked us up, but once again,not mentioned.
Please don't think that from my comments that we disliked the tour. We enjoyed it a lot, and would do it again. I didn't want to write about the FRIENDS apartments for the 100th time or the yummy black and white cookie. I preferred to mention things and make comments that I did not see earlier. Also, a few weeks earlier, I singed up for the GM Motor club as alternaitve to AAA. One of the benefits of this club is access to an online Entertainment coupon book. I got a buy one get one free coupon for the tour from that site---which already paid for my motor club membership----awesome deal! |

This would be a good tour for TV and movie buffs, as we saw scores of TV and movie sites and related areas, and learned some interesting general NYC knowledge. Our group was a father and 2 teens, and we are not TV or movie buffs. Still, we enjoyed it and had fun. We perhaps should have taken a general city tour, but we had fun and our guide Kymberly was very good. No complaints. |

I loved this tour. I was with my three teenage children and they loved it just as much. It's a great way to see NYC, up close and personal. The tour guide was enthusiastic, fun and very knowledgeable. |
