| The tour guide was way too over the top and her commentary became grating as the excursion continued. It would have been better if we were shown clips of the sites used in movies and on TV etc BEFORE seeing the actual site. Showing them afterwards didn't really work that well for our group. |

A great tour for movie and TV fans.

| While on the bus, the video clips let you see the sites and scenes from films or TV shows. |

| Last year we took a more extensive and broader sightseeing tour so with that familiarality with the city we learned a little more in-depth knowledge about the city on this tour. It didn't quite meet our expectations but still was somewhat entertaining. The tour guide showed some film clips of the places we just saw but would have worked better if the clips preceeded the actual sight rather than viewing it afterwards. The guide was personable but the tour itself lacked a lot of substance and was too long for seeing the few worthwhile sights. |

Enjoyable and informative trip

| My sisters and I found the trip very enjoyable and felt it gave us a lot of information about both previous films and tv series and tips on how to tell where filming was going to occur. The guide was very enthusiastic and passionate about the subject.
The one improvement that I think could be made would be to try to show the film clips either before, or soon after seeing the sights as sometimes we were having to watching clips of places we had seen quite a while earlier. |

Good Value for Film & TV Buffs

| A very entertaining event that I enjoyed for a view of New York that I would'nt normally see wandering around as a tourist. My children enjoyed it for the links to TV programmes they watch in the UK, so an interesting mix of 'under the surface NY' with a touch of the 'virtual world' glamour. Very well presented by the guide and I found it interesting and informative. |

Met nice couple also on a getaway to New York

| Tour was very nice., the tour guide enjoyed his work. Before taking the tour we were thinking one of the stops would be to a movie making set., where the possibility of meeting some tv star might have been in the mix.
All in all the tour was nice, even the rain thunderstorm was unable to stop it. could not understand reason why they did not allow videocameras on the bus., but regular cameras were Ok. Thats alright, we still had a good time. It was a nice tour.
Thanks to our tour guide and his upbeat nature.
Keep up the good work. |
