| We LOVED Roseann! She was great at every moment. The video clips were well integrated into her presentation and at the actual place we were arriving at. I don't know how she did it! I would definitely recommend this tour not only for the movie/TV sites but just a tour of neighborhoods of Manhattan. THANK YOU! |

| I was very impressed with the quality of the tour and the knowledge of my guide whos name unfortunately escapes me at the moment. I did not expect to see so many 'on location sites' and then have the relevant clips played on the bus. My recommendations for the tour would be to use an open top bus as it can be very difficult trying to get a decent picture through the glass. This was my main critisism of the tour. Another point I would like to make was that some of the tour spots pointed out were just driven past. Although I know that to incorporate everything into the tour some did have to be missed. I would recommend a more comprehensive package for someone who was more interested in what was actually out there in the big apple. Finally, the publication which was distributed, if the addresses of the places we saw were provided also it would negate the previous point. In conclusion, I found this to be a highlight of my trip. I have been on tours literally all over the world and this would definately rank in my top 3. Thank you very much and I hope to travel with you again. |

| This is a great alternative to the standard NYC tours that you find online.
Our guide Brian was entertaining and had all the geeky answers that film buffs look for on a tour like this.
Comfortable bus, great sites and just the right length for a tour of this sort.
Well worth the few dollars it cost. |

| My entire family enjoyed the New York Movie and TV Tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining - she really knew her stuff. We really liked seeing movie clips on the bus tv monitors of the places we were touring. The tour took us to parts of Manhattan that we surely would have missed on our own - we ended up with a list of many places we want to go back and explore. My only quibble is that the bus did get a little bit warm towards the end of the tour (it was a hot day). Otherwise, this tour gave us much more than we expected. Well worth the money. |

| it was an ok tour. there were too many things blocking the vew of some of the
places. too much fast driving by stuff to see what the tour guide was talking about...
like it's down the block next to the red building... you don't have time to see the red building let alone what the guide is talking about.

| This was an interesting tour which took us into the lower Manhattan neighborhoods that we might not otherwize have seen. Nice glimpse of NYU for the teenage crowd also. The tour guide was interestsing and very informed on movies and locations, not to mention very humorous. The kids in our group were somewhat disappointed to find out that movieland can be very deceiving. (they actually expected to sit on the "Friends"couch!)
One problem, we encountered was that the tour went 30 minutes over the time frame, which set us back and made us late for our next activity. This was an inconvienience. I do think that the this tour could be done in 90 minutes. Most of us found it too long and could do without all of the clips that were shown. |

| I took this tour pretty much knowing what to expect, but I found that I got a lot more. The tour guide was both entertaining and informative, and the tour was 3 hours, but it felt much shorter than that. But the added bonus is that you pretty much get a sightseeing tour of New York along with the movie and television locations. We passed areas I had not seen before, and wouldn't even know where they were at. Even so, it was a great way to see the city and see the tv and movie locations.
Overall, this was a great tour, and I reccomend it to anyone who is a movie buff, or even someone who just wants to see some different parts of the city. |

| As an ex-New Yorker taking my 14 year old daughter on a short trip to the city where I used to live, I was looking for something fun for her and different for me. We both loved the tour. I got to see locations in the city that I had not seen before or at least not seen in the same way and my daughter got to see quite a bit of the city on the bus ride around to the various locations and she really LOVED seeing the Cosby house and the apartment where Friends takes place and getting her picture taken in fornt of both buildings. |
