| As a local, it was fun to see all the different spots that movies and tv shows are filmed at. The tour was a lot of fun and it was great that the guide was able to take everyone's picture at famous locations! |

| The bus driver drove so fast that Brian had no choice but, to rush through descriptions. The driver seemed only interested in getting to the next stop as quickly as possible so he could get back on his cell phone with personal calls.
Brian made the tour as informative and fun as he could and we appreciated his efforts.
We will recommend this tour to others as long as Brian is the tour guide and its a different driver. |

| The tour is excellent for seeing areas of New York that you may not normally get to visit e.g. East Village, West Village, Tribeca & Meat Packing district. Although the tour is described as a TV & Movie sites tour, it does tend to focus more on the American TV shows such as Cosby, Friends, Seinfeld. The Movie sites visited are a little limited in the tour and thus the international tourist may not know some of the sites that were visited. Also the sites visited are very 'old' e.g. Cosby House, Friends apartment building, these shows are classics but are no longer in production, it would be great to also include sites for shows such as Mad Men, Law & Order, CSI New York, Black Donnellys, Sopranos which are more recent or even still in production. |

| Guide was very informative and entertaining, but movie scene sites were mainly from about 5 recent movies. Some were not that popular. Would have enjoyed more movies mentioned instead of hearing about "Enchanted" and "Sex In The City" so much and nothing about "NYPD Blue or "Rescue Me" (If not filmed there, it would have been nice to know where they did film and why.). |

| We thoroughly enjoyed the tour of the NYC movie & tv locations. Our tour guide, Brian, was extremely knowledgeable and very entertaining. As for the tour...well, it's probably the best bang for your buck today. We highly recommend this for everyone...locals, out-of-staters and foreign visitors. A+++ |

| A great idea for people who are in New York long enough to do it. (It took up most of the day.) Our teenage daughters are quite starstruck and my husband is a film buff so it was ideal for us. We were also ready for a day with less walking and the trip was fairly restful, although we did get to leave the bus to learn more about the locations and take photos. You are shown clips of the film/TV show on the bus before you see the location, which we found really good. |

| We had a wonderful time on the tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour lots of fun for us. Even if you are not a movie fan, the tour itself is a great way to get an overview of the city. Jason, our guide, obviously loves the movies and his enthusiasm was contagious! Thanks! |

| Conoci el tour por medio de la TV española. Hicieron un reportaje en el que se veia el desarrollo del tour pero en español. Decidi contratar el tour un dia nates de volar a NY (11-4-09). creia que las explicacionesdel guía serain proporcionadas tambien en español. Aunque es cierto que en ningun lugar del formulario de contratación especifica un idioma diferente al ingles, creo que esto debería dejarse mas explicito en posteriores formularios para informar al consumidor claramente que el único idioma del tour es el ingles.
En mi caso y en el de mi esposa, no aprovechamos el tour porque ninguno de los dos hablamos ingles.De haber sabido que era en esa lengua en la que se iban a dar las explicaciones, no hubieramos contratado el tour.
gracias por darme la oportunidad de expresar mis opiniones.

| We thought the tour was great, and Roseann, the guide was exceptionally good. She was very knowledgeable about movie and television information. We now find ourselves looking for movies just to see what we saw on the tour. It was really fun to see where the movies or t.v. shows were shot. We would do it, again, next trip. |
