| It was one of the highlights of our trip! We had fun seeing all the locations, viewing the movie clips, and winning trivia prizes! |

| Our group consisted of 2 mothers (ages 40 to 49) and 2 daughters (under 20) - we had a pleasant time, even though it rained. Our guide, Kimberley was well versed and well informed - very friendly and had an answer for all questions.
We all enjoyed our tour. |

| The trip itself was good, but in our opinion a few more stops (to grab a drink in the Coyote Ugly Bar, or a snack in the Empire Diner) would have been extra special.
Roseanne (our guide) made the trip enjoyable, fun and informative and the accompanying video clips helped to visualise the scenes. Being a native New Yorker, her knowledge of the Island was seemingly unlimited!
A good 3 1/2 hour trip in all and not once were we bored! |

| I took this tour with my mum and female cousin who were on holidays from Australia. I guessed what we liked best was:
- range of movies, shows and eras that were presented. It offered something for every age group.
- the movie clips that were played during the tour, it really helped contextualize the movie and sites.
- the food stops and free food on the bus!!
- having a tour guide that explains movie making terms and gave us an "insider" view or interpretation.
What could be improved however was:
- the speed at which the guide spoke. We are not used to the accent so it was hard to understand her. Plus, she would change topics or movies very quickly that it was hard to keep track.
- it was sometimes unclear as to which building the guide was referring to because she was pointing which was hard to see from the back of the bus. Or she simply said "left' or "right" without saying whether it was her left or our left.

| We really enjoyed the tour. I thought the film clips alongside Jessica's commentary was a good idea. There was a good selection of movies for all ages so everyone would be able to recognise something! The only (minor) disappointment for me was that the tour didn't go to the Upper East or West Sides - but I think that was because of the time allowed. I also felt that it focused too much in some places on "Hitch" - although that was probably to keep the content more up to date as it is a recent film. Overall I would recommend the tour as it gave us a different view of New York. |

| A unique tour that reveals the hidden treasuresof the Big Apple. The enthusiasm of the tour guide was equally matched by our teenage childrens response to her! {that in itself was unbelievable} Kymberly's knowledge of the city, movie and television locations, the famous people and their local hangouts was great. We never would have found these special places on our own. Thank you for the "personal tour".

| The tour was informative and fun...It was very interesting to see where TV commercials, buildings, and certain areas where filmed either for the movies or TV productions. We had a excellent tour guide, so that also makes the trip fun....I would recommend this to other tourists. |

| On 05-20-06 my husband and I had tickets for this event. It was doomed from the start. To begin the tour guide was late along with the bus. On top of that - the Bus driver had never completed this tour so he did not know exactly where to drive, zooming past some sights and then strolling when there wasn't a sight to see. Something to add with the bus - only 1 TV worked on the bus not allowing us to view the clips as part of the tour. It was supposed to be a 3 hour tour with 5 stops along the way - In reality it was 3 hrs 48 min ( with the last hour being stuck in traffic and not seeing anything) with only 2 times getting off hre bus to see sights. I paid nearly $70.00 for an event that was worth about $20.00 if that. Our tour guide was nice and did offer us a refund upon with us contacting you and that is what I am requesting - I would not reccommend this tour - We had one day to sight see and 1/2 of that day was spent on a bus. It ruined the rest of our day. Not to mention - one couple had to leave while stuck in traffic to catch a plane because it went soo long! I expect to hear from someone regarding the refund, as promised by your tour guide, upon review of this notice. Thank you in advance |
