New York TV and Movie Sites

I enjoyed my experience with the movie/tv tour but I found it too broad in scope. There is likely something for everyone, but there were a lot of references to fairly recent TV shows and movies that a lot of people haven't seen. This creates a lot of lulls, but I have to give a lot of credit to our tour guide Gary who was funny and informative while he led us on the tour. I think I would have preferred one of the specialty tours., but alas they don't run every day. The tour was billed as 3 1/2 hours, but it was over in slightly over three hours. We were told it was to test a new route. I am curious as to what I missed out on. At $30, it was a very good value, despite some of the drawbacks. The bus was comfortable and there were four stops to see sites and stretch one's legs, which was welcome. The playing of the TV theme song tape while riding around (but not during commentary) was a nostalgic touch. Allowing food and drink on the bus is also a nice gesture. Instead of the movie/TV clips being intermittently played, I would have preferred more anecdotal stories of New York and movie/TV stars.

My family and I enjoyed the tour. My boys, 13 and 15 thought it would be boring, but they also enjoyed the trip. They saw Ghostbusters, Cosby and Friends locations that they were familar with from the movies and tv shows. Gary was a great guide, we even saw a celebrity in Columbus Circle. I would recommend it to everyone as to find all these locations yourself would take weeks. Thanks for the memories

We mostly drove past all the sites and with so much new york traffic it was hard to see them. Our tour guide was excellent but without really being able to see the sites it got boring after a couple of hours.

I went on this tour with my teenage daughter. The tour was a lot of fun and we saw many interesting sites. The movies and TV shows discussed were for all age groups, however, there were a few that neither my daughter or I had seen. Our tour guide did an excellent job- I believe his name was Gary. He showed great enthusiasm. I would absolutely recommend this tour to my friends who are visiting New York in the future.

I participated with my two teenaged daughters, ages 15 and 18. My 15 year old chose the tour. It was interesting and the guide was very energetic and informative. It was, however, geared toward an older audience as the shows primarily discussed were ones such as "Friends", "The Cosby Show", "Seinfeld", etc. While these shows are very popular with the 30 year old crowd....they are not highly followed by the teen set. Therefore, my daughters found the tour interesting but not very up to date.

Kimberly was great and very informative, gave prizes for trivia questions. I liked getting off the bus several times and getting a black & white cookie. I wish this tour would have been listed in my tour book. I happened to find it in a handout someone gave to me on the street. Luckily I was able to squeeze into a group. I highly recommend this tour and have already told others about it.

The TV and Film tour was great, it had something for every age group especially older film buffs. It also gave you a great tour of New York City especially if you were a first time visitor like us. We also liked the stops especially the outside location of the Cosby show and Friends. The visit to the flavoured rice pudding shop was a real treat. The tour guide was very friendly and informative. The coach was lovely and cool compared to the outside heat. I would certainly recommend it to any one interested in the locations of films and TV.

I took the tour 2 years ago and thought it was amazing then, but pleased that when I returned the tour had been updated to include some of the newer film locations. I love both TV and film and this tour included some amazing locations, although I do HAVE to admit showing my family 'The' Friends building was still the highlight! I'd also like to say my father was in a wheelchair at the time and we were treated so well by the driver and the tour guide I'd really like to give my appreciation as we didn't miss out on anything due to the wheelchair.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We had a fantastic tour guide who made it fun and interesting. What we especially liked was that we as we visited the movie and TV sites, we were also given an explanatory tour about the city itself. We visited areas of the city that we may not have had the chance to visit on our own due to the traffic and the fact that we did not know our way around. We would highly recommend this tour.

My daughter (aged 16) and I really enjoyed this tour. As well as seeing lots of film and tv sites we also were able to see areas of New York which we would not have otherwise had time to see during our short stay. Our guide Roseanne was great fun, entertaining as well as very informative. She was also very accommodating as far as taking photos etc. Having two or three stops gave us a chance to stretch our legs and also get some refreshment. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys fim and tv and who wants to see New York. The bus was very comfortable and beautifully air-conditioned.
