Gary did a fine job of keeping us informed about what we were seeing. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. You really don't see much besides facades of buildings but Gary helped us understand how films and TV shows are made. |

A very comfortable & interesting way to see NYC |

The tour bus was comfortable. The tour guide had loads of interesting information on TV shows and movies filmed in the City. She was witty and kept things moving. TV clips were shown of many of the locations seen on tour to reinforce the memory. There was a great mix of on the bus and off the bus activities. And, the tour was very affordable. Great deal for the money! |

Fun time! |

My sister, daughter, and I took the movie tour and enjoyed it very much. It was actually a little too long, we had to leave before it was over to catch a taxi for our lunch reservation. Very informative and we saw a lot of the city without walking forever. I wish only two things: the tour guide would have spoken a little more slowly (LOTS of trivia that my brain was too slow to absorb quickly!) and that the sights/clips were of more modern movies. Some of the things she talked about I had no idea and I'm almost 40, my daughter was bored with anything that wasn't 1990 or newer. Good time, though!
I also enjoyed knowing where some celebs live! |

Excellent Tour, I highly recommend it. |

I don't usually like tours and wasn't sure I would like sitting on a bus for 3 1/2 hours, but this tour was worth every minute. Kimberly Tuttle was our tour guide, and she was fantastic. The bus is air conditioned with huge windows, so you don't miss a thing. There were so many interesting sights from popular tv shows and movies, some old and some new, which provided something interesting for everyone. On several locations, the bus stopped and let us get out to experience the location close and personal. An added bonus of this tour, not only do you get to experience tv and movie sights, it's a great way to see Manhattan, Soho, and Greenwich Village. If you are able to find an Entertainment Book coupon, you get two for the price of one. I highly recommend this tour. |

Our tour guide was fantastic. She knew her stuff and her interaction with the "tourist" were wonderful. She really kept things moving along - no lull in conversation and knowledge. I really enjoyed the TV screens to help review and refresh the memory of a certain clip in a movie. I would certainly recommend the tour. |

Way more than I expected |

I was a little unsure of exactly how much fun it would be to just drive around and look at where shows were filmed, but it turned out to be way more than that. Our guide was very funny and knowledgeable. We were able to get off of the bus several times and feel like we were a part of where they actually filmed the show. There was also trivia questions, prizes and dvd clips of the movies/ shows to refresh your memory as we went past each place. At one point we saw someone filming something and they stopped the bus and we went over to watch. It turned out to be an ESPN commercial. I would highly recommend this tour and this company and especially Kymberly, our guide. |

This tour was a great way to see a lot of Manhattan without all the walking! If you're a real movie and/or tv buff, you'll love this tour. My friend and I aren't so much, but we really enjoyed seeing the different neighborhoods and architecture. Being the most filmed city in the world, there were plenty of video clips showing NY landmarks that were shown on the bus. I found this a tad annoying, looking at the small monitor and then out the bus windows (which would have been easier to photograph through had they been clean). Roxanne (our tour guide) loves her job and her enthusiasm was the highlight of the tour. And, she sure knows her tv and movies! I wonder if she actually watches them all or if she has just memorized them (she's an actress afterall). The cookies everyone else brag about are large but rather dry. The tour is long but doesn't really feel like it. We didn't take the Grey Line tour while on our trip, but I wonder how it compares (for information and value)? |

The tour was fun, but alot of things that we we saw were older movies that I have never heard of. We saw the Friends building , some Will and Grace things, some things from the movie Big Daddy, the Cosby Show, but alot of the movies were old. The tour guide was Brian and he was great, very funny.....Our group was small which made it better I think because it was more informative. I would recommend it to first timers to New York because you get to see alot of the city that you would probably never get to if you were walking. |

Overall the tour was good value for money and jam packed full of information. I really enjoyed the locations where Hitch is filmed, I love that movie. The films that were shown I thought were a good range of recent and older films, which I appreciated as I'm a movie geek. It was good that the scenes were shown to us as and when we saw the locations, which made the location seem more in context. The guide Gary was brilliant, very knowledge and obsessed about film and tv show as we all were. There was all to fit in, in the short space of time we had but we were given locations addresses to go back to if we wanted to see the location for longer. Would definitely recommend this tour, very enteraining and good value you for money. |
