| The guide (Gary) was enthusiatic, knowledgeable, amusing and welcoming. It took in all the main sites I wanted to see. Showing clips throughout the tours was a great idea so we could see the locations in the TV show or film. |

| We visit NYC from Connecticut often, however, this tour brought us to locations that we'd never seen in our travels!! For instance, parts of Greenwich Village off the beaten path, areas around Central Park, restaurants, etc. Our tour guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and made the tour fun and interesting. It was so cool to see film locations from movies and t.v. shows where you didn't even notice a great NYC building or landmark in the background until it was pointed out to us on the tour!! |

| If you're interested in seeing TV show and movie filming locations first-hand, this is the tour to take.
My group was loaded onto a comfortable coach (with bathroom facilities) and guided around Manhattan by a Broadway actress. She was fun, informative and friendly, so definitely worth tipping. The tour also provides a good way to see a large area of Manhattan.
I would recommend taking this tour at the start of your visit to NY because while the coach does stop at several locations to allow you to take photos, there are many more you'll only get a glimpse of through the windows, so you might want to go back later. During location stops, the guide offered to take photos for those travelling solo or wanting to be in a picture with their fellow travellers.. She seemed to take a great shot every time which was a relief! It's sometimes possible to take photos through the coach window, but they are tinted (and a bit dirty) so the pictures won't always be clear or in focus.
Don't expect the guide to point out many - or any - "Seinfeld" or "Sex and the City" spots on this tour. I understand that the same company offers separate tours for those TV shows. This one is more "Friends" focused.
After taking this tour, I was amazed by the number of TV shows, movies and scenes shot, or at least set in NY. The tour takes a couple of hours and you really do see a lot of locations in that time.
Besides the photo opportunity stops, the coach also pulled up for lunch, so you won't go hungry. $5 (approx) gets you a drink and a tasty slab of traditional NY pizza from a store located on the same street that scenes from "Lipstick Jungle" were shot. Money well spent! |

| Our tour guide, Gary, made each person on the tour know that he was interested in their specific interests. He addressed comments and important facts to each one of us as if the tour was tailor made. He was fantastic. |

| Fine if you're really keen on TV shows, but a little dull if you're not. On the other hand, it doubles as an interesting tour of parts of Manhattan. |

Excellent Tour! Where you can get lunch.

| This was a well organised tour which covers all sorts of films and tv sitcoms for all age groups. It was very obvious that the tour guide really knew what she was talking about. It was also great as the tour was up to date with the most recent films. The tour needs to advertise that there is an opportunity to get food. This was the only thing that nearly put us off going on the tour. There is an opportunity to get lunch - please tell people this!
Would so recommend this tour as a great introduction to the city. |
