| This was a great tour and one of the best tours you can get in New York City.
You can learn where stars live, where the popular hangouts are located, and walk into some of the best places where some of the greatest movies were filmed.
I definately recommend this tour. Not only is it a great tour for seeing movie and television locations - it is also a great way to see NYC. |

| The guide was enthusiastic and that appealed to the Adults as well as the kids.
It answered alot of the questions that T.V. and Movie watchers have.
Getting out and looking at the sets was a lot of fun as well. |

| Our 3 teens (2 15 yr old boys and a 12 yr old girl) enjoyed this tour, especially when the newer movies/tv show locations were shown. However, many of the sites/clips were from older movies that our kids didn't know. Still, it was a great way to get an overview of the city, and when we went out and explored on our own the next day we were able to stop by and spend more time in many of these places. Tour guide Kimberly was great, bus had a/c and was very comfy; we were in/out at several places that kept the kids interested. The surprise cookies were great, and the kids really enjoyed the trivia questions and winning lollipops.
I would recommend this trip for movie buffs and tv fans. Our teens did enjoy the tour! |

| I go to NY at least 3 or 4 times a year usually just to shop, but it gets boring after a while. So I went online and tried to get onto the food tours but they were sold out. So I found the NY movie tours and the Manhattan tour was was available during the week so I booked it for a friend and myself. It was really quite interesting. We never get down to soho or the village so it was nice to see different parts of NY. Usually were uptown I really advise you to take the tour it was a lot of fun! |

| My family had looked forward to this tour as one of the highlights of our visit to the US and one of the few things that children and parents alike could enjoy. We were sadly disappointed. The tour was amateurish. The promised video, linking the sites we were shown with the scenes from films and TV, was not working until the second half of the tour. By that time, the video was simply shown between sightings of other locations and had no impact or value whatsoever. In addition, the bus was not air conditioned as promised. We were provided with a replacement bus for the second half but the transfer between the buses resulted in unpleasantness as tourists scrambled for 'best seats' different from those they had in the first half. Finally, the Huxtable house which we looking forward to seeing was inaccesible due to construction work being conducted outside.
It was pathetic to hear from our guide that she hoped four remaining tourists did not turn up because the tour was overbooked! It was equally pathetic to hear her constant suggestions to the group that we should be more positive when faced with adversity. She knew her material but glossed over obvious inadequacies of the tour, and the company's responsibiity, with essentially a motivational spiel and a smile.
Excuses that the company does not own the buses and that the guide just turns up and is not responsible for the video or the bus were completely amateurish. Professionals would ensure the equipment is in place and operating and the service is delivered as promised. Regardless of the company's contracting out arrangments, it promises a service and on this occassion simply failed to deliver at all. |
