| I am so sorry to say we were not impressed with this tour. We wanted to be but simply were not. The tour guide must have mentioned Ghost Busters over a dozen of times. I felt like so many NEWER movies were made all over this city an so many were not shown. It left like he was advertising 2 or 3 movies over and over and over. It made us wonder if you might have to get approval to talk about movies and you just didn't have the rights to talk about some of the newer ones.
Our guide was okay really didn't do any wrong but let us know he was an actor at least 8 times. I really don't think it is in his nature to do this business. I think more of a comedy type might be able to entertain us. I know he tried very hard to occupy us but really stuggled when it was traffic time. And really couldn't come up with talking points toward the end and we felt like he was just begging to get it over with.
In our doubledecker tour we got almost the exact information about most of the locations. The one thing our kids like was the Friends building. |

| We took our 13-year-old granddaughter and 15-year-old niece and I have to say it would have been more fun if we all were more familiar with the specific TV shows and movies that we visited the sites of. The children were a little young to have watched much of Seinfeld or Friends, and we are just not big TV watchers, so much of the tour didn't have the impact on us that it did the people who knew the shows well. Having said that, we still had fun and our guide did a great job! Some of the stops were fun, especially sitting on the steps of the Cosby house and stopping at "Rice to Riches," since we had just seen the movie "Hitch" the night before. We were all tired from doing so much walking in New York, so just having a comfortable bus ride was a treat. Would recommend you read the publicity info for the tour carefully first (either brochure or their website) to make sure you are interested in the sites you will be seeing. |

| It was great to take my tv & movie buff 17 yr old daughter on this tour to see so many familiar sites in NYC! She definately considered this one of the hilites of our trip. The bus tour was fun & interactive on a air conditioned comfortable bus, with a tour guide (Gary, we think?) who made it so entertaining! Really enjoyed the mix of on bus site seeing and off the bus walking site seeing. There were 3 or 4 of those breaks which allowed us to stretch, and get out to get up close & personal with some of the most recognizeable exterior shot sites. For anyone who has an interest in tv & movies - there will be tons for you to enjoy! |

| The tour was ok. I thought it focused to much on "Friends". Also I think that you need a tour that is just a movie tour. Also this one was focused on the entire South end of the city. What about the upper west side and east side and harlem. |

| A group of us took my sister on the tour for her 50th birthday. She is a movie and TV buff. It was the highlight of the day in NYC..... It was very informative and we had great tour guide (Kymberly)... We enjoyed the snack and stopping at Rice to Riches...I liked that the tour guide put some of her personal experiences into the explanation of the tour!!! We had a blast!!! I will definitely recommend this to others and would be very interested in doing one!!! |

| Great tour, Loved the tour guide, Kim, she was outstanding and gave plenty of information regarding the movies, TV shows, and also about filming. Would highly recommend the tour to anyone. Especially if you always stay near Times Square, the tour gives an opportunity to go to near by towns. I would even go on the tour again. |
