| The tour was enjoyable. The television portion of the tour focused on just a couple shows (i.e. Friends, Seinfeld, Will & Grace). It would have been nice if the tour/commentary covered a few other shows based in NYC (i.e. NYPD Blue). |

What a fabulous time! A great way to see the city!

| The 3 of us had such a great time on this tour! Our tour guide, Kimberly, was such a delight. She was very knowledgeable as well as entertaining. She even supplied us with *goodies!* Thanks for a great tour! |

| The bus was new and the tour guide was very nice. She knew her tv and movie
trivia. The clips were helpful. I really enjoyed the different stops that we made.
If you are a Friends fan you will really enjoy this tour. |

| This was a top tour! Our guide Roseanne was great fun and very knowledgeable, not just about movies and tv but New York which was good for impressing other people - we repeated the NYC Trivia to our non-tour attending friends. There was also a few stops to get off the bus which was a good way to get our bearings on our first day in the city. Overall a great way to start the day, breakfast at Ellens Diner before was good too! |

| If you watch TV and go to the movies, you will absolutely love this tour! My girlfriend and I were visiting New York for the first time and when we read about this tour, we knew it was for us. We're TV/movie nuts and go to movies together every week. Our tourguide, Rosanne, was so entertaining, and had so many facts about the New York movies and TV shows, that we felt we learned lots of new info. I know we'll be on alert in the future for the locations she pointed out to us when we watch the movies highlighted in the tour. Rosanne was a great guide, and her acting/singing talents were a great asset to our tour. Ask for her if you get a chance! |

| This tour was really good for those who enjoy network TV a lot. I accidentally signed up for it instead of the Sopranos tour so it wasn't exactly what I had in mind.
The tour guide was good -- maybe a bit grim, but things didn't go as planned at CBS and she was not very happy about it. Ultimately we had a good time at CBS.
One improvement can be made: The tour was overambitious. The traffic and the delay at CBS caused the tour delays and it was clear that the guide was telling the driver to skip many parts of the tour. She was pretty stressed out about it.
Knowing that traffic is really bad because of all of the construction, you might want to scale it down to a more realistic pace.
Otherwise, it was good and I'd recommend it to any TV lovers that I know. |

| Was a fantastic tour with loads of information on where the movies were shot around New york. So as described. The tour guide was great and made it a fun day! Would have been nice to be able to stop for a drink at like one of the places that was shown as the tour was 3 hours. I also think it would have been nice to have a rundown on a leaflet of what we were shown to help on the day and also to keep as a souvenier of the day, as there was so much to take in. |

| This was a fast and fun way to see the eclectic neighborhoods in the city. Especially since we were only there for 4 days and you can't do it all walking. Not even if you use the bus or train. The tour guide was very knowlegable and also an actor, which made it even more fun. We took the tour on our last day and what a shame, because afterwards, we wanted to do the other specialized tours. Thanks for the great experience of seeing NYC for the first time. |

| My wife and I took a weekend visit to the Big Apple from Virginia Beach and of course we tried to cram as much as we could into the trip. Taking the New York TV and Movie tour was one of the highlights. There is a little something for everyone in the tour - from the point where the Stay Puff marshmellow man in Ghost Busters walked the streets to the spot the the little kid in Big Daddy went number one to sitting on the door step of the Cosby Show. Our tour guide, Kymberly, was energetic, fun, informative and some of the pictures she willingly took of us are most memorable. Her volunteering to take pictures of us as a couple was a bonus we weren't expecting! We may even take the tour AGAIN next time we visit the city that never sleeps. Thanks Kymberly! Aretta & Paul |

| We found the tour to be well planned and organized, informative and entertaining. Our tour guide, Kimberley, was awesome and funny. She had activities like trivia to keep the group entertained between stops and really knew the material. Showing clips from the movies whose locations we were seeing was really good too.
The only suggestion I would have for the future is to hand out the booklets at the beginning of the tour so we wouldn't scribble notes to ourselves! |
