| This tour is worth the money if only for the fact that you can get to some areas of the city that other tours don't take you to. Our guide was quite enthusiastic and made it a fun event. |

Do it on your first day!

| We did this tour on our first day and I can recommend to do the same. It gave you a feel for the city, the main areas and the distances between them.
The tour itself was amusing and informative and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic - highly recommended! |

| It was a fun trip around the city and was neat to see places most people only see on the screen or TV!
Felt like we stuck to a certain selection of movies and wish there was more and also felt we could have ventured more uptown as well! |

| The tour lasted 3.5 hours, this time whizzes by, going straight from one location to another. The guide was entertaining, and so clued up ! We were very impressed with her knowledge.
We departed at exactly 11am, so be on time ! |

| good time. could be better, though.
the bus NEEDS to have a glass top so you can see tall buildings instead of scrambling to see the patch of something being talked about as it goes by very quickly in the window next to you or across from you. (sometimes, it's hard to remember where the host told you to look, since she frequently tells you before you get to the place, and before she launches into a long story.)
also, the video clips should be shown WHILE the bus is in front of the sites in question, not 15 minutes later, after you've forgotten what the sites looked like.
also, i felt a little ripped off that no sex and the city sites were shown, even though we passed near some -- the only reason seeming to be that this company sells a separate sex and the city tour.
and there are as many sites uptown, such as the odd couple apartment building up park avenue, that could have been shown. i know that would have elongated the tour. but for the money we paid, that shouldn't have been hard to do.
finally, i totally disliked the fact that the bus stopped for an official bite to eat at ben's pizza, from which it obviously receives a kickback. my wife and i weren't in the mood for pizza. when we asked the host for a good bagel place nearby, she told us she couldn't help us. that was really screwed up. |

| This was my 1st time to NY, and my friend had been here as a child. It offered an excellent introduction to the city. I found it very interesting to see some familiar sites that I have seen in movies & tv. Seeing the clips on the monitor was a very effective touch. Overall, the host; Gary was excellent, the bus was very comfortable and the whole tour was interesting. The time allowed at each stop was appropriate. Since the tour takes place during the lunch hour, I think it was a good idea to stop at Ben's Pizza I don't recall seeing this piece of info. online or in the flyer. I wish they had as I stuffed myself with unnecessary snacks before hand to tide me over. I would have rather tried the pizza. The black & white cookies were a nice touch to the tour as well. The one thing I wish the tour could have included was a drive by of the apt. from Sex in the City. I know there is a separate tour just for that, but just to see the one place would be nice. I would certainly recommend this to friends coming to NYC. Thanks!!!!
Note: My friend signed us up for the tour on line. When we got home she emailed this form to me so I could give my own review. |
