| Booking this as the first thing to do when you get to NYC is a smart way to go. While you may enjoy visiting movie/tv sites, I got more out of the tour learning about the different boroughs of New York and how their names may have come to be. Our tour guide, Brian was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable, even going out of his way to stay after the tour a bit to recommend places to eat, answer more specific questions, etc. |

| The studio tour was short, but very interesting. The bus tour covered quite a bit of lower Manhattan, and the guide was very informative and fun. She obviously knew her stuff. |

| NBC Studios Tour was informative, educational and interesting. Tour guides were extremely outgoing and friendly. Visiting the Conan and SNL studios were highlights. The TV/Movie Sights Tour guide was enthusiastic and entertaining - she was an endless source of tv/movie trivia. Technical difficulties with the microphone were experienced throughout the tour. Unless you are a fanatical TV and Movie buff, this may not be the tour for you. I found it a bit long and crowded and would have preferred a city sights tour. |

| The tour is wonderful. I cannot remember our guide's name but he was great. He is an actor that grew up in NYC and knew a lot about movies and the city. Fun tour! Great for tv and movie fans! |

| The NBC Studio tour was great. I really enjoyed seeing the different studios and learning about its history. The TV/Movie Sites bus tour was simply "okay." We were bored with it about half way through the tour and got off the bus and went off on our own way. The bus tour was too long. |

| The TV/Movie part of the tour was very interesting and our tour guide was enthusiastic. She provided us with a special cookie and an opportunity to indulge in Rice Pudding, which was good seeing as our tour covered lunchtime. I would have liked to have had a map of our route so that I could have gone back to take photos of things I found especially interesting but missed because the coach was moving.
The NBC Tour was a waste of time.
We spent more time waiting to be admitted and going through security than actually touring! The two guides were fine but the tour itself was very disappointing. If that's the best NBC can do, they should try harder.
Also we had great difficulty in finding where we should have gone to meet the tour as we entered the building before the gift shop. Neither of the people we approached in the building for directions indicated to simply go into the gift shop and go to the first floor. The first guy we approached for directions was the guy who screened us for security and he gave very vague directions as to where to go to pick up the tour.
Also when I rang to confirm the NBC Studio Tour part I got a recorded message which asked for a contact phone number, which I didn't have because I was staying with a relative who didn't have a phone in her apartment and I certainly didn't have a cell as I was from OS. The after I rang them again, they told me I had to confirm my seat on the bus which it turned out was unnecessary. I didn't enjoy wasting my time using noisy public phones on the street , making calls that it turned out were redundant!
My 15 year old son and I enjoyed the TV/Movie section very much and would recommend it to others. |
