Video Clips Distracting
Fri, Jul 28, 06   11:00 AM sckane Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I know it sounds odd to say that the movie clips were distracting on a movie tour, but the tour guide would not show the clips until after we had passed by the location, sometimes well after we had ridden by the areas on the clips. She did a lot of re-winding and showing (of course, well after we had gone by the location). Not all of the screens were working all the time either and there was a lot of static and jumpy pictures. It gave me a slight headache. It would have been better to have seen the clips and then seen the location live and up close. A suggestion for use of the video clips would be to have the screen show the tilte of the movie and the year it was made, along with stars's names, then have the clip show and simply run a continuous loop of all of the clips during the tour. The trivia questions were fun, but the crowd got a little tired of all of the "Friends" questions. A number of African-Americans on our bus had never even seen the show. It might be a good idea to include some locations featuring some films of interest for them. The tour guide was okay, but was a little ditsy acting, especially when the video equipment did not cooperate. The bus driver was extremely competent and I was most impressed with his handling of the big bus on some of the narrow sections we rode through. The black and white cookies, while a nice touch for a treat, were stale. The information on films currently filming in the city was also a nice touch. The rice pudding store was unimpressive and did not add anything to the experience.

Interesting and fun excursion!

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Our tour guide enthusiastically shared tidbits about filming and the tricks film makers use to set the stage for many familiar T.V. shows and movies.

Tour was great !! We really enjoyed it.

We really enjoyed the tour. Brian was was an excellent guide, very friendly and knowledgable. Movie buffs that we are - it was so fascinating to see the actual locations, get inside scoop and behind- the- scenes info. We would highly recommend this tour to friends and family and will definitely take this tour again ourselves the next time we are in the city. The actual tv and movie clips shown on the air conditioned bus was also a great idea. It is also a great way to see the many sights and interesting neighborhoods of the city itself. One small suggestion - how about (since it was over the lunch hour) charge a little more and stop at one of the diners/restuarants used as a location for a drink & quick bite to eat. Thank you again.

This was a good overview of the city... but some of the other activities we do overshadowed this tour.

I really enjoyed this tour and it gave a fun and interesting overveiw of New York by tying into the movie and TV shows we are all so familar with. This was my first trip to New York and I would high recommend this tour to others. Our guide was great and very engaging.

Tue, Jul 25, 06   11:00 AM Selena Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Our tour guide and driver were exceptionally great! I believe his name was Brian and the driver was Dave (I could be wrong, you guys know the facts. Too many tours too many tour guides!! lol). I would strongly recommend this tour to others and hopefully they will get the same tour guide or someone of equal caliber (which I think is hard to believe there is someone as good as him!). Thank you for a wonderful experience! We enjoyed ourselves very much!!!!!! GREAT TOUR!!!!!

Excellent Tour
Tue, Jul 25, 06   11:00 AM heatherb9118 Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
This is a really fun tour. Our guide Brian was extremely knowledgable about the different locations used in various tv shows and movies, and was very friendly and funny as well. In addition to getting to see a lot of places we recognized from our favorite shows and movies, like the Friends apartment building, this was also just a great way to see a lot of different areas in the City. I would absolutely recommend this tour; however, try not to schedule activities too close to the ending time as our tour ran about a half hour long.

Good Review
Mon, Jul 24, 06   11:00 AM rg1417 Female 20-29 Combination Individual
I guess I am comparing this tour to the Sex and the City Tour. The Sex Tour was amazing. In my opinion this tour wasn't as a good but I would recommend it. I think there could have been a more diverse choice of movies as I didn't know alot of them and I consider myself a movie goer. I got to see alot of Manhattan that I would not usually get to see as many of the places were off the beaten path. If I come back to NYC I will take the Central Park Walking tour next. Thank You.

My boyfriend is a huge movie buff and was thrilled to see the location followed by the clips of the movies on the t.v.s in the bus.

Fairly good tour
Sat, Jul 22, 06   11:00 AM JBoffa Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
This tour was highly rated, but I found it to be less-than-expected because the movies and shows were somewhat outdated, and the only thing we really got to see were the outside views of buildings - too much time was spent looking at the Cosby house, considering this is a very old sitcom. I would also put different snacks on the tour - not rice pudding and stale cookies. Thanks to our tour guide - he was excellent and made it fun despite the rain!
