| We had a true New Yorker as our tour guide and she was excellent! We couldn't take enough pictures! At every turn there was another movie location. There were only 4 stops on the trip (the highlight for us was going to the Friends Building), which was a bit of a shame since we wanted to get off and take pictures in most of the places we passed but that would understandably be impossible! We also got to watch clips from movies that were shot in New York so we could piece together what we saw with the movie - an excellent idea! At the end our tour guide asked us if we had any questions about other films she may have missed and she was able to answer all the questions we threw at her! There were some Law and Order enthusiasts on our tour too and our tour guide was able to show them where most of the locations were so if you're an obsessed fan make sure you tell your tour guide!
The only thing we wished we could have done was go and do the Central Park tour - we didn't have time to book that tour so we missed out. Would be a great idea if they could somehow combine both tours or do a day long tour and do more New York sites - it was only 3 and a half hours long but we could have stayed on that tour all day! It was one of the highlights of our New York trip! And get ready to sing some showtunes on the bus! |

| Being from NJ we tend to not to touristy like activities in NY but I wanted to have a father/daughter day with my 18 year old. I Googled what to do in NY with a teenager and your tour came up. I talked it over with her and we decided to do the TV/Movie tour. It was much better than I had expected and our tour guide was wonderful. She had so much knowledge, even on issues not related to the tour itself. I would recommend it to anyone. |

| We really enjoyed the tour and saw a lot of areas of the city that we don't normally get to. Our tour guide, Brian, was really fun and enthusiastic and really knew his stuff. My group included my 2 daughters, both in their 20's, and they would have enjoyed the concentration being on more current shows. A number of the sights we saw were from older shows. But we did have a good time and would recommend it to friends. |

| I was a little leery of signing up for a 3.5 hour tour but, when the tour was over, we were all thinking, is it over already? Obviously, the mark of a good tour. Our guide, Gary, was fantastic. In a filming mecca like NYC, it's virtually impossible to hit all the sites but felt the tour route was well selected and planned as it hit most of the "biggies" in the short time we were given.
Besides being filming buffs, I wanted the secondary benefit of having my family see some of the streets and neighborhoods of NYC you miss from the subway. Again, that goal was well met. Gary was very organized, funny, and knowledgable as well as keeping us entertained during traffic times. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the Midtown to SOHO area in coach bus comfort with the added bonus of seeing where some famous filming was done. |

| Access to sets where shows are being taped should be arranged as part of the tour. As well as the opportunity to meet an actor, performer etc. I feel it was a bit of a 'have' where we went to 'almost' places. |

| Very nice tour, I wished I took it at the beginning of my stay instead of the end. One point: include Seinfelds diner in the future (112th st, broadway) |

| Our tour guide, Brian, should be commended for his ability to think fast under pressure. In the middle of our tour, our bus got into an accident with a taxi. Brian handled the situation well and kept us focused on the tour and made sure we were all fine and safe. Great job!! |

| Was a nice tour with a very bubly tour guide Roseanne told us lots of interesting facts about hundreds of locations. There were some great photo oportunities and in general was glad we choose this tour, our only downside was there was quite a lot mentioned about many american tv programs that have not been aired in the uk. |

| Really glad we decided to do this trip as we got to see some great filming locations and also found out some interesting facts about movies/tv. Also, gave us a good chance to see the citys streets and make a note of any places we wanted to go back to later on. (like shops/restaurants etc!) Our guide (Kym) was awesome and I really appreciated the extra bits thrown in there and the places we "stopped" at. (wont spoil any surprises! But we stopped off at a food place and it was really nice!) And not forgetting the other treat we had when we stopped at the "Cosby house".
I would recommend you doing this tour at the start of your New York holiday as the remaining days will give you chance to go back to any places for a better look, or if you spot any shops/bars etc you want to go to, you know where they are without wondering round wasting time! I found it helpful as I was only in the city for 3 full days and doing the trip on the morning of the first full day was great as we could then reflect on it and revist places.
Oh and I took a pen/paper with me to write stuff down that we saw but you don't need to as it's all printed for you. May help to take a pen though as lots of things are added each week that may not be on the pre-printed list. And there were alot of extras!
Really enjoyed this trip and I would recommend it to anyone who loves films and the TV show FRIENDS!!! Really pleased with it as I don't think I'd recognise half the places if I was just walking past them; sometimes you just need things pointed out to recognise them!!! I'd also definitely do this trip again as by the time I visit NY again, I'm sure loads of new movies will be out. I will definitely recommend this to my friends. |
