| As a group of Sex and the City fanatics, we enjoyed seeing the sites associated with the television show and movie, however our tourguide ruin the experience. Her jokes seemed rehearsed and were not funny, however, she continually laughed at them. She also said before every stop that we have "just one more stop," even though we had another 30 or so left. We all enjoyed the fact that you got a nice tour of the different areas of the city and the air conditioned bus was an added bonus during the heat of the day. Overall, we thought the tour was a GREAT idea, but wish we had a better tour guide. Also, we paid $40 for the tour, but you still have to pay $9 for the cosmopolitan, which seemed both overpriced and somewhat required. The cupcakes were FREE and GREAT!!!! |

| My sister and I took our 20-something daughters to New York and took this tour. It included so much more than we had thought as far as show locations. We loved the monitors showing different show clips. It was fun, informative and just a wonderful tour through the different neighborhoods in New York. We loved the different stops on the tour and each was just the right amount of time. Delightful way to spend a few hours in New York for Sex and the City fans. |

| I booked the SATC tour for my friend's bachelorette party. It was a great way to spend time with friends, see NYC, and have some laughs about the show. Our tour guide Ally was excellent and helped make the bride-to-be feel special! Our favorite part of the tour was the free cupcakes! |

| It was a great tour. Nice to hear some background information about the show. Although it was a pity that we weren't allowed to take pictures from the house were Carrie lives. I went back to a lot of places the next day to take pictures because we didn't get of at a lot of places. And that was great.
It might be an idea to do the bustour in an open bus so that the tourists can make pictures during the tour. |

| Our group was a bachelorette party and this was the perfect event! Allie, our tour guide, was enthusiastic and made the tour fun for everyone! I would definitely recommend this to anyone and will be doing it again with another group of friends! |

| I think this was the most boring tour I have every took! We sat on the bus most of the time passing by the shops or where they shot certain scences trying to take
pictures through the bus windows and watching clips from the show! The tour makes it sound like you will stop at the shops where the shop...but it doesn't...
Would not recommened!!! |

| We had a good tour guide who kept us laughing and entertained the entire time. It was great to see the clips from the show on the bus just before or after we saw the real thing.
The disappointments were few: we couldn't take photos of Carrie's apartment because the owner won't allow it and the cosmos were weak and too expensive.
Be prepared to tip your guide at the end of the trip. All in all, worth the money we spent on it. |

| My group of friends, as myself, are from Tijuana -Mexico, and we stayed a week in New York, and planned this tour a as MUST activity throughout our stay.
We left right on time (3pm), and the meeting spot was very easy to find. The girl (and I don't remember the name - but she was short, petite, and very enthusiastic) led the tour perfectly and kept a very friendly atmosphere in the bus. She knew her facts from the show, and kept it interesting with the various quizzes she made.
Of course we would like a longer tour, because let's face it, the women on your bus have probably seen the complete series at least 2 times, that is, we're addicted to sex and the city and want to see as much as as we can. So maybe another hour of touring wouldn't hurt.
And another thing, it probably would be a good idea to put a microphone on the end of the bus, because I don't think the people from the back get as much chance to collaborate in the quizzes or comments. My group was in the second row, so there was no problem with that. But I noticed that every time they made a question or comment, it was very hard to listen to the people all the way in the back.
Overall, we had a very good experience... job well done! |

| As my second time on this tour, I was as enthralled as six months ago. Slightly disappointed on the restrictions on photos at Carrie's front door (though I understand the circumstances), and highly HIGHLY upset that I was not allowed to film on the bus. The entire reason I booked this tour the second time around was to get great footage of New York. I was not intending on stealing any of the tour guide's jokes or insider info, I just wanted to capture footage of the city from the bus window in order to make a video for my 90 year old grandparents who are from the city and have not been back in years. Wanted to give them one more tour of the Big Apple.
Our guide was fun, but I felt she was practicing her improv routine on the bus tourists like guinea pigs. I wanted more tidbits about the sitcom and less comedy about her personal run-ins with celebs, whether true or not.
Thanks for the great tour, will recommend, maybe even try again on my next visit. Get more material and don't turn on the interior bus lights; it ruins the photographs in the window-- reflection is a bitch!
