| I really enjoyed this tour, although I expected other recent movie sites to be visited. For me, the highlight of the tour was visiting the Friends building. A very pleasant surprise was visiting Rice to Riches, a place that was used in the movie Hitch, where they make delicious rice pudding. The tour guide really knew what he was talking about, and I liked to hear about filming techniques, bloopers, and other secrets that we usually are not aware when we watch movies and tv shows. |

| It really was much more intricate than I expected. The leader, Brian, was a native New Yorker who provided both a tour of the city as well as an insightful synopsis of the movies and TV shows that have been filmed in NYC. My husband who is not a particular movie buff was also pleasantly surprised as was my 11 year old son.
Thanks for a good time |

| I thought seeing all the movie locations was very interesting and going to some of them was good. I especially enjoyed rice to riches. Would have been even better if it didn't rain but no one is blamed for that. Overall, great tour. |

| The tour was pretty good (not as much fun as the Greenwich Village tour we took the day before). The group is pretty big, so it takes some time getting on & off the bus at the different spots.
Our tour guide Brian gave us a NY insiders view of the places we visited & how different the portrayal on the screen is different from the reality of where those places are in NY. The stop at the rice pudding place was a waste of time. It would have been nice to see a few more recent locations as there are a bunch of new shows/movies with NY as the backdrop.
This is a good tour if you don't want to walk around much. We only got off the bus a few times. It would be nice if there was no smoking when we got off of the bus though. We would all group together to hear the tour guide & inevitably someone would be smoking in the group & made it somewhat unpleasant.
We also had some issues with the parade going on Saturday, so I think we missed a few spots, we were dropped off at a different location & the tour ended a little late. Check to see what else is going on in the city before booking the tour so you don't end up stuck in traffic!

| Brian was a great tour guide and he did a wonderful showing us around his NYC. He was very knowledgable, friendly and went out of his way to accomodate the group. He gave the group alot of information that was informative and sometimes funny. On the tour it is helpful to have been a Friends or Sinefeld faithful watcher. If not there may not be enough other tv or movie trivia to interest you. The bus driver was very good and I felt very safe with him at the wheel. It was a nice way to spend a few hours learning some new info and driving around the city. Definitely worth the price! |

| The movie/film New York sites tour was fabulous. The guide was outstanding. She knew so much about the films and shows and made the whole experience great fun. She is very positive and likeable. The bus driver manuvered that big bus in NY traffic with precision. I don't know how he could do it. I tried driving NY traffic in a car and had a hard time. Three cheers for the people who put this tour on. Thanks very much. |

| The 3 1/2 hour tour turned out to be quite long in the end. A lot of the movie/tv scenes we just passed by on the bus. Wish we would have had more stops and rather reduced the amount of sites. Nevertheless, it was charming to have seen a few of the original sets, but it was far from being a thrilling experience. Tour guide was friendly. |

| This is a great opportunity for all those people who want to see that little bit extra in NY. We'd never been to NY before and have since recommended it to everyone who we know is going there soon!! |
