| I abolutely loved the tour. Our tour guide Kimberley was very enthusasiastic and extremely knowledgeable on movies and TV. Her insights and knowledge made the tour fun, interesting and it was not only what I expected but much more. I will highly recommend the tour to friends visiting New York.
ps the cookies and the programme were a very nice touch, and much appreciated. |

| Great fun, very informative, enjoyed getting out of bus and stopping for photos and snacks. I wish I'd taken notes though as I've forgotten half of the trivia/facts. A fantastic way of seeing New York. |

| So as far as tour guides go our guide was really lovely she had loads of trivia, gossip and NYC know how.... I really enjoyed listening to her!
The tour content was good, I honestly thought that perhaps it needed a little updating, this is of course not the guides fault and she tried very hard to add as much info as possible, at every chance possible, We saw a couple of filming locations unfortunatley we didnt spot anyone famous but, she tried!!.
The three hours went by really fast and my cousin a 25 year old male, also had lots of fun too... yeah guys you can get out there and it isnt too painful!!!
Overall I would definately recommend this tour to anyone, it covers old movies spots & new, not to mention the tv locals too!!! And if your companion is not interested in movie/tv sights they will enjoy a chauffered view around town!!!

| I knew I wouldn't be able to interest my two teens in a regular history- or landmarks-based tour of the city (and I wouldn't be thrilled myself, honestly speaking)...but I wanted some way we could see and experience the flavors of the neighborhoods. A tour connecting the great sections of NYC with TV shows and movies was just the ticket. My son is a Seinfeld and Friends fan, and he was kept interested by all the sites and the trivia questions.
Our tour guide was wonderful -- not too corny for the teens! ;-) The two food-related stops were a great idea, since the timing was midday. The clips were a good connection/reminder for us!
Suggestions:
Eliminate one or two of the stops or spread them out better. The frequent getting up and putting on coats in the second half of the tour got a little tiresome.
Needs some more variety of connections with TV shows and movies. We seemed to be discussing the same 10 TV shows/movies. (Is there a permission problem?) Wikipedia has a good list. |

| the tour was excellent and very informative. it was a great way to see manhattan instead of having a boring tour guide pointing every little detail out.
the tour guide brian taylor was very good. i think he may have been practising some of his stand-up material with us - which was fine!
highly recommend it. |

It's (just) OK ...

| It's great for a cold day in NYC that you could sit in bus and get around the city. But, all the "locations" were just apartment buildings. Really not much to see. |

Interesting on many levels. Brian was superb.

| I enjoyed the tour immensely even though I was not as keen on the idea of it as my fiancee.
I enjoyed the range of media connections (not just the latest sitcoms).
I appreciated the added value of a general tour and overview of New York.
Getting out of the coach and walking around was a good idea.
It was good to have extra sights pointed out to us - such as the oldest surviving wooden house in New York, and the derelict railway track that is being turned into a nature trail.
We both found the tour guide Brian absolutely superb. He was very clear, interesting, helpful and personable. Top marks go to him.
I would suggest the tour to anyone who asked me for advice on what to do in New York.
Many thanks,
Nicholas De Calmer. |

| The tour was one of the highlights of our trip to New York. Brian was informative and funny which meant that you were absorbed throughout. The film clips were excellent, especially for films we weren't familiar with. definitely recommend this tour. |
