Surprisingly, this tour turned out to be the best one we took while in NYC. We couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable and interesting guide (Rosanne) for the TV and Movie Tour. The 3.5 hours flew by even for folks like me who did not necessarily recognize many of the films that were mentioned. Stops by the Cosby brownstone and the Friends apartment building were especially a treat to see. All in all, I would very highly recommend this tour to all visitors to the City regardless of your interest (or disinterest) in the entertainment business. You won't be disappointed! |

This engaging and enthusiastic tour is well worth the money. You learn a wealth of information about the process of TV and movie filming in NYC, see a plethora of fascinating TV/movie landmarks, view corresponding TV/movie clips, and participate in fun sing-alongs--all in a comfortable, air conditioned bus (there is a bathroom on board). This tour is fun for all ages--both myself and my teenage niece loved it. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, energetic, and helpful, and she was determined to make our trip as enjoyable and worthwhile as possible. A few tips: you get a program at the end of the tour that lists the names and locations of all tour sites, so you don't need to write them down during the tour; there are a couple of opportunities to get snacks along the tour, so if you don't bring food with you, you should be okay; ask the tour guide any questions that pop into your head--ours was eager to answer to the best of her ability, and the guide may be able to alter the tour and show you a specific landmark of interest if you ask about it. All in all, whether it's your first time to NYC or you have lived here all your life, I highly recommend checking out this tour. |

The tour was good, I just wish it would have showed more places from more current movies. A lot of the movies I didn't know. |

My entire family completely enjoyed this tour, even my eleven year old daughter! The bus was very comfortable and cool. Considering the temp. outside was low 90's that was a great plus! The tour guide was very informative and enthusiastic I would totally recommend this tour. The giant black and white cookies we were given midway during the tour were awesome as well! The only thing I did not like was that our tour was held up by about 8 people who did not arrive on time and we had to go back for them taking on about 15 minutes to our tour. Also, our bus driver parked on the wrong corner once when we got off and it took us about 15 min. to find him. We also stopped at a rice pudding shop that was from a TV show and I could have done without that. About 5 people out of the 50 bought rice pudding. It just added about 15 minutes that I could have done without. All in all, I would recommend the tour to anyone, especially those who watch sitcoms and enjoy movies. |

Our gal was great! Very enthusiastic. I thought there was a bit too much emphasis on Seinfeld (soup nazi etc) as that show has been off air for a long time. I particularly liked hearing about where celebrities lived (or used to live) as it made the tour more real and current. I liked that it went through many neighbourhoods. Didn't like the black and white cookie, it was tasteless and not very relevant, but loved the rice pudding place as it was very funky and we likely never would have found it otherwise. The old fashioned diner was a bust, and we disturbed some folks who were having breakfast outside at the tables, which was embarrassing. Probably about 1/2 hour too long. LOVED the visit to Friends locations, would like more. |

This was truly an enjoyable experience. The only suggestion is that the bus slow down a little more for those places where the people don't get off. There wasn't a lot of time for good pictures because we kind of blurred by them. Otherwise the tour guide was fabulous and the stops we did make were great!! |

So good, we wanna rewatch movies made in Manhattan |

The tour was fantastic with a very very knowledgeble and friendly guide - Kimberly. Not only was she willing to help everyone take photos at anytime, but she knew all aspects of the tour very well and could provide as alot of trivia fun. We basically went on the tour to see where Friends and Seinfield were, and were pleasantly surpirsed to find out many exciting movies that we've watched before come to live in real detail. A tour not to be missed! |

It was an amazing tour, im from Wisconsin but i have lived in Manhattan for a few months. i was totally surprised to find that the place i work at in Manhattan was across the street from the Cosby house and near the Friends house. Our guide was excellent and everything was very nice. The only thing that i was a bit taken aback by was the heavy emphasis on Friends and Seinfeld. I wish there was a broader spectrum because obviously hundreds of films have been in Manhattan. I dont really watch either show so it didnt really appease me too much, but if your a fan you'll love it. The tour was still excellent, i loved all the Hitch and Ghostbusters stops. Wish there was more Home Alone but i guess thats about it. I highly recommend the tour to everyone, when my family comes in town ill be taking them. At the end you wish it would keep going cause you really want to see everything, but it does get a bit exausting, however factor in that it was 95 degrees out so that may have been the reason of the extreme fatigue at closing. Once again if you want to do something different than just the typical sight seeing, this is perfect. i think every person, both movie buff and not, would really enjoy it. |

Gary the tour guide was knowledgeable and ready to answer your questions. We made several stops during the tour and he made it possible to get photos and a quick snack. He made sure the bus was all exchanging input and their knowledge. He is what made the tour so fun. |
