| This tour was full of sites from movies and TV. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. There were many excellent opportunities for photos of ourselves at the sites. The guide took the photos with our own camera - which was nice. The bus was air-conditioned and comfortable. Over all, I'd say the tour was excellent - full of fun little surprises. The only thing that keeps me from giving it the top rating is the contest that they have at the end. I think it would be more fun if the contest were objective (trivia questions, for example - or having the guide pick the winner). Instead, it was a singing contest with the winner being chosen by who had the loudest cheering section in their group. It discouraged me and others from wanting to participate and, for me, put a damper on the end of the tour. |

| The tour i think only had one slight chink in it and that was that the windows we were by were marked thus effecting the numerous picture opportunities there were but other than this everything was brilliant!!! The host and driver added there own humour to the tour and were fantastic. As well as this you also take in many famous sites and the host even points out things you may not of noticed or seen which is great!! There is some walking involved which was excellent as lets you get up close and personal to some of the attractions and the host was more than willing to take pictures of the people on the tour in front of there favourite things such as the Friends apartments etc.... which was a nice and welcomed touch. So overall I recommend this tour to anyone as it caters for all ages and people. I would defiantely go on it again as who knows what other sites it will include in the future as New York is used for filming ALOT!!! |

| Heavy on newer movies and shows. Perhaps some of the classics, such as "Lost Weekend" at P.J.Clarke's could be included. |

| we had a great tour and would recommend it for anyone visiting NYC. It was the perfect way to tour the city and see areas we wouldn't have known about. |

Lots of fun

| It was just my sister and I taking this tour and we both enjoyed it very much. A lot of detail, a lot of flipping back and forth between the tour guide talking and showing video clips from where you had just been. The tour guide was very knowledgeable in her subject and was also very willing to take pictures of anyone in the group at the various places visited. A nice surprise was the snacks. It would have been great if the tour guide would have had a portable microphone so as to hear her better when you're out and about on the streets.
Even though the tour guide explains where you're going the downside was the way the she would just get off the bus and take off walking. Very hard to follow her in the crowds. And you'd better know your way around and be able to get back to your hotel, because the bus/tour guide will leave you if you're not back on the bus when they're ready to leave.. We wouldn't have had any problem with this as we know our way around NYC, but felt this was very rude way to treat some of the elderly folks on the bus. There were 2 people left behind and then almost left a couple more but they were spotted at the last minute as the bus was pulling away from the curb. (they had made a wrong turn on one of the streets.) Our tour guide was very short and hard to see so it was very easy to lose her. I know the tour has a schedule to stick to, but I couldn't see that it could have hurt to wait another couple of minutes.

| Very interactive, lots of fun surprises - I was expecting to sit on the bus & listen but it was tons more fun than that!!! The tour guide was great - full of information, facts on tv & film making, trivia, treats & more. Wouldn't change a thing! We all (agest 12-50) enjoyed it!! |

| Would have liked to see some Seinfeld sites since it was such a hit New York show. Otherwise a great overview of the sights and fun to see neighborhoods that I wouldn't have even visited in the city. |
