| I took the tour 2 years ago and thought it was amazing then, but pleased that when I returned the tour had been updated to include some of the newer film locations. I love both TV and film and this tour included some amazing locations, although I do HAVE to admit showing my family 'The' Friends building was still the highlight!
I'd also like to say my father was in a wheelchair at the time and we were treated so well by the driver and the tour guide I'd really like to give my appreciation as we didn't miss out on anything due to the wheelchair. |

Not just a tour of TV and movie sites.

| We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We had a fantastic tour guide who made it fun and interesting. What we especially liked was that we as we visited the movie and TV sites, we were also given an explanatory tour about the city itself. We visited areas of the city that we may not have had the chance to visit on our own due to the traffic and the fact that we did not know our way around. We would highly recommend this tour. |

| My daughter (aged 16) and I really enjoyed this tour. As well as seeing lots of film and tv sites we also were able to see areas of New York which we would not have otherwise had time to see during our short stay. Our guide Roseanne was great fun, entertaining as well as very informative. She was also very accommodating as far as taking photos etc. Having two or three stops gave us a chance to stretch our legs and also get some refreshment. I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys fim and tv and who wants to see New York. The bus was very comfortable and beautifully air-conditioned. |

| Rosanne, tour guide, was energetic, knowledgeable, entertaining. My family and I enjoyed the tour. Would like the option of riding on top row of double decker bus to see the city, hard to observe some sites due to obstructed view from window frame. Was nice way to see city with someone knowledgeable without having to walk to take a taxi. |

| We had this tour recommended to us by a friend and decided to try it out. We are SO glad that we did! It definitely was a highlight of our trip to New York City. Our tour guide, Roseanne, was very fun, easy to relate to, and seemed to know everything about NYC. We had a great time seeing the sights and enjoying the beautiful air-conditioned bus as we drove around town. We will definitely recommend this tour to all of our friends. |

| Liked this tour a lot but we didn't know as many of the movies as we would have hoped. It had a lot to do with the "I am Legend" movie which we haven't seen so that made it difficult. We would have much rather gone on the Sex and the City tour, however, we had a 4 month old baby and they told us we couldn't bring him. So unfortunately this was our only other option. |

| Our guide was awesome and it was constant sights and clips shown from movies - I enjoyed learning about all the ways NYC was used in movies and tv and getting off the bus to explore and take photos. The pizza place was awesome too - Ben's pizza - great way to tour the city! |

| I thought we were going to be in one of the double decker buses so that we could see and take pictures of everything. Most of my pictures were dark and obscured from being taken from inside the bus. Forget even trying to see anything or take pictures of it if it was on the opposite side of the bus. Even though Brian, our guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable I would not recommend this tour because of the visability problem.
On another note: I strongly urge the tour company to have the Central Park movies and tv locations tour during the week as well. I missed the weekend tours and was extremely disappointed to discover that it wasn't available during the week. That would sure satisfy tourists and be a real money maker. |

| At first I thought "3 1/2 hours?? We'll probably jump ship somewhere along the way when we get bored." -never happened! The tour itself was really interesting, but with the great tour guide, very comfortable bus and the tv monitors, the time flew by. I can't remember our tour guide's name but he was a part-time actor and gave us a lot of info on how filming works behind the scenes. He was very funny and had a likeable personality. I had only seen about half of the movies and tv shows that we saw locations for, but we'd watch a clip of it first and then see it in person. Enchanted was a big one with a lot of scenes. I've never seen it, but now i will. Overall, me and my daughter (35 and 13) both enjoyed it equally, so apparently it's geared for kids as well as adults. It's also a great way to cool off and give your feet a break while still sightseeing in NYC! |

| I was extremely unsatisfied with the tour. Not only was it three hours of absolute boredom but it was also completely falsely advertised. Your descriptions say that the tour will take us to the sets of our favourite shows etc, when in-fact you sit on a bus for three hours and stare at buildings that were featured in films/tv shows for about 30 seconds.
I was extremely upset that I wasted three valuable hours in NYC with this tour.
Some friends of ours were thinking of going and we ran home to ensure they do not order tickets.
I will continue to pass the word along that this tour is nothing but false promises and utter boredom...please explain to me what the $38 went towards… gas money for the bus? |
