| I brought my 4 daughters, 13 to 22 years old and my 6 year old son. Everyone loves movies and tv and also nyc, so it was a great tour. My son said he learned so much and could not wait to tell his friends. Showing the clips from movies and shows was the clincher. The guide was great and friendly. |

| Being a TV and movie buff, this tour provided a great way to see the city. I took the typical "red bus" tour a few years back and thought this tour might seem a bit repetitive. That was NOT the case at all.
We had the opportunity to see many sites off the beaten track and to learn about the TV/movie industry. Our tour guide, Kimberly, knew both the city and the industry very well. The combination of bus touring, getting off the bus to see some of the sites, viewing TV/movie clips, and answering trivia questions made for a lively and interesting tour.
Three hours well spent! |

| We were very disappointed with the tour. The website indicates that you were going to movie sites. Most of the stops were very brief. Most of the trip was on the bus and were told to look out the window. It indicated on the description that we were stopping at the Soup Nazai to try soup. This was not the case. We stopped at a rice pudding location which has absolutely nothing to do with the any of the movie/TV shows.

| All four of us thoroughly enjoyed the TV and Movie Tour. It is well organized and our tour guide Kymberly was a delight and extremely knowledgeable. We learned so many interesting facts about the locations we saw. And it was great being able to see the same places on the clips that were shown. It was definitely the fastest and most enjoyable 3 1/2 hrs. we spent in the city. |

| Our tour guide was the best. He did a great job in adverse conditions - a rainy day and a bus delay that was not his fault. |

| The tour was fun, but I felt that there we tried to cover too many places in too little time. I would have preferred to spend longer in some spots and skip some others. Also, I had heard that the group would be singing theme songs on the bus between stops, but that didn't happen on our tour, which was a little disappointing. But overall, it was quite interesting to see in three dimensions all these places that I'd seen on TV or the silver screen. |

| We saw some interesting locations. Also saw a lot of the city. If you are a movie or TV buff this is an excellent tour choice. The tour guide helped make the experience more entertaining. |

| The tour was 3 1/2 hr....we sang , watched clips from the locations we were seeing & we had 5 stops....Paris Hilton was filming for her latest release & we saw that ....
Rice to Riches Restuarant was very different & we saw the Sex & the City episode from it.....I'll never watch a movie or commercial the same again.....Highly recommend......Our tour guide was a hoot.......an rising actress herself......I'd like to see the other tours also sometime.....We saw house fronts from NY that were filmed in stages in Ca & the background didn't match what you would see or hear in NY....But if you aren't from NY or hadn't taken a tour , how would you know? Movie Magic........Incredible.... |
