| We found the tour to be great and certainly worth the price of admission. We especially enjoyed being able to get off the bus and take pictures. This was one of the highlights of our trip to New York. Roseanne was a great guide. :) |

Fun and Informative Way to See NYC!

| We weren't sure what to expect but were pleasantly surprised by this tour. It was very professional and t's a very fun and efficient way to see the city. The TV tunes and clips they play on the bus are a nice way to integrate what you're seeing "live" with what you see/saw on TV or at the movies. We enjoyed getting on/off the bus to walk around a few sites. Our tour guide, Roseanne, couldn't have been better - knowledgeable, fun, patient and just a really warm person. Also, the pizza stop was amazing - good pizza, a fantastic deal, and I don't think I've ever watched 54 people move through a food line faster! Best of all, the 5 teenagers in our group really enjoyed it - it made them think about the city very differently. Would recommend it to friends and family. |

| Had a fantastic time on the tour...tour guide Gary was excellent and helped to make the tour so enjoyable! :) x
My only comment would be that the staff in Ben's Pizza place were a little rude...my friends and I had the right money (as informed by Gary before we went into the shop) however, we were not told that tax should be included and so when it came to pay were therefore a little short. The staff proceeded to make it clear that they were not impressed that we then had to find the extra cash and we were told loudly that we were 'holding the queue up'!! |

| The tour was very good for adults but not for children. Our children ages 14 and 11 were not familiar with the television and movies that were mentioned. It was still a very good activity to do on a very cold and windy day. It gave us an opportunity to see many areas of New York that we would not have been able to see.
Our tour guide was excellent, had a good sense of humor, and very knowledgeable. |

| The tour was very interesting and we got to see so many actual movie and television sites. It was really cool to stand on the steps of the Cosby Show and get some pizza from the actual pizza place in Men in Black. If you're lucky enough to get Brian as your tour guide, he's very funny and very informative. He's also an actor which means he can give you even further inside info on how movies/tv shows are made and how they choose sites, etc.! I was a litte concerned at first about the length of the tour, but it flew by because we watched movie clips in between the sites and stops which showed the location(s) you're about to see. Plus, the bus was comfortable, warm, had a bathroom, and Brian kept things moving. We made a couple of stops on the way to get pictures and although it was cold Brian stayed out there and took pictures of every last person who wanted one with their camera. He was always the last one back on the bus.
PROS: very interesting, fun, informative, comfortable bus, worth the time, worth the money
CONS: we took the 3pm tour and it got dark around 5:30, so toward the end, you couldn't see everything as well as you could've during the day. |

| We (including our movie/television savvy 22 year-old daughter) have done movie location tours in San Francisco and Los Angeles and expected much more from New York's tour. After all, how many movies have been set and/or filmed in The Big Apple? If you are a fan of Sex and The City, Spiderman, and I Am Legend, then this is the one for you, as those movies garnered much of the attention. Also, if you liked Gossip Girl (?????) then you will enjoy this tour, otherwise don't spend your money. We were extremely disappointed. This was the weakest part of our NYC trip, and we could have used the precious 3.5 hours we spend on this tour to enjoy more of the city. We strongly advise against taking this tour. |
