| The tour itself is pretty cool but there were all sorts of problems on my tour. The buses video didn't work and the air conditioner was out. We had 50+ people on the bus so it was stuffy. We could not get to the Cosby brownstone because of construction. The icing on the cake was a huge JERK on the tour. We changed buses and he moved peoples stuff without their knowledge and would stste when he put it - all to get his same seat. Instead of our tourguide letting him sit in the very front after this, I think she should have made hime either get off the tour or sit in the open seat in the back. He was threatening and rude. Saw alot of neat places but would have liked to have seen more law and order sites. Tour was just ok.........Have contingency plan in case your tour ends up like this. |

| expected to see inside buildings - of course most of the filming is done outside of new york using the exteriors only - we had photos taken outside various locations. the video clips were ok - but on the whole i don't actually feel particularly as if it was a 'wow' factor, even with the unbridled enthusiasm of our guide, Jessica - i don't think i would have given it an average without her input - she did her level best to get us going
i think advertising should clearly state that it is exteriors only - with a few clips inbetween
the coach had been overbooked - not a good start
also i was sitting at the back next to the restroom - hence any sites pointed out on the right hand side i could not see - hmmmmm
thanks |

| This tour catered to a wide range of interests and age groups. The tour leader was very professional and handled a potentially problematic situation (overbooked bus) very well. |

| The tour was very enjoyable for TV and movie buffs. Even though some of the films that were referred to on the tour were unknown to me, it was still good to see the sights. The coach is comfortable and the stop offs were just right. I had a chance to see a side of NYC that I never knew existed. The tour combined reality with fiction - a great way to spend 3 hours. I went on this tour by myself and never felt uncomfortable. The tour guide had up-to-date information and was full of knowledge. It was even better that having viewed the sights we were shown movie/TV clips to remind us of the films. All in all a great experience that I would highly recommend if you've seen all the usual sights of New York and want something different and fun. |

| We enjoyed the tour. It was interesting to see some of the places that you grew up watching on television. Our tour was made even better by the tour guide. Brian was a great guide. He had more knowledge about NY and the stops on our tour than we would have expected. I would recommend this tour to those who were big television buffs, expecially sitcoms. |

| I am an avid movie and T.V. fan so this tour was one I really looked forward to doing. I wasn't disappointed as we covered a lot of area and many movie and TV locations. I would even have stayed longer if we could visit more locations. One of the best things was that when I got home the movie Bullets Over Broadway was showing on the cable channel. I had never seen the movie before, but heard about it and saw some of the locations during my visit. How great to look at a scene and say" I was standing at the spot only yesterday!" |

| Insightful & fun. Only negative comment - at the meeting site, there was no sign/identification for the tour - tour guide was in the bus. A magnetic sign on the bus would be be great. |
