| Not excellent like it says up top. If it were not for the fact that it was my wife's birthday, I'd have never been dragged into a bus for a three (plus) hour tour- all inside NYC. There were no sights to see per se that offered any reward entertainmentwise, but the hostess, while quirky, was great. She gave it her all and did indeed provide some interesting, if not socially redeeming facts about various districts in NYC and who lives where and why tribeca is called tribeca (because it is the TRIangle BElow CAnal Street). Hey, I never knew. I gave her a ten dollar tip for being cheery and having great projection with her voice. She forgot to roll the video that tied to her speaking point sometimes, but the girl really made the tour. I stayed on the bus for most of the stops...what's to see?
All in all, it's something to do and it is easy to sit in a bus and listen BUT NOT FOR THREE PLUS HOURS. Come on, 2 hours max. 1.5 hrs would be perfect.
Give the girl a tip and remember, you can always go awol at a number of stops if you are miserable. Try it. When your on your death bed, you can grunt to your loved ones that " we did that tour remember". |

| We saw the neighborhoods, but neither of us were interested in the comments on celebreties, etc. If you are a movie/TV buff the tour would have been more interesting. Our Guide was great for what she was supposed to do |

| Excellent and entertaining way to see some fabulous bits of Manhatten and learn about the world of film and TV. A great family treat with something for everyone. Highly recommended as an alternative to the normal sightseeing tours. |

| It was lots of fun and we're still spouting trivia that we picked up from our tour guide. The bus was clean and comfortable and the driver was excellent. The tour guide was personable and engaging. The sights were lots of fun. Our favorite was the Friends apartment building, but there was lots to see. |

| We both thought it was great. We were able to see parts of New York that we have not seen before. The guide was excellent. |

| It was okay. We thought that we were going to see some actual tv studios, and we disappointed to just see the outsides of buildings while we drove around. I don't think that I would recommend this tour. It was rather long. The ad said that we would be able to visit shops, food, etc.. When we actually stopped to get out, we took quick looks and then got back on the bus. We didn't get time to look in shops that we were near. |

| I thought it was great. Our tour guide was excellent - very informative and very helpful. She was very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble ie taking photos, giving directions etc. Our bus driver was also fantastic - negotiated the busy streets of New york skillfully and also intervened with interesting tidbits of information that he had picked up as a local New Yorker. The video snipits were well chosen so that even if you hadn't seen the particular movie the guide was referring to or couldn't remember it, they showed you it before we passed it so you could still appreciate it. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to friends and family - it was a great and very different way to experience New York city. |
