| I really did enjoy the tour, Brian was very good and funny and kept everything rolling along brilliantly, on every corner there was something to talk about and it was really strange that a worldwide movie had been done at the location you were looking at or standing at, a great feeling.
Great tour will def do it again when I come back to New York.
All the best

| The tour was pretty good. Brian, our tour guide, was funny and entertaining. He was also very informative. We got to see some pretty cool sites. However, on the bus, they should give you a heads up when a site is coming up so you can get your camera ready. We missed a few sites b/c he was like oh here it is. All in all, I totally recommend this tour. |

| The tour was great! Did not realize how many movies were filmed in NY over the years. Having the film clips along the tour was nice so you can say, " Oh yea...I remember that scene". I would recommend it for all movie and TV fans. |

What a Great Tour!

| We truly enjoyed our tour with Brian who was a highlight himself. We were a group including a family of 4 originally from NY which transplanted to Florida 10 years ago and one of my daughter's teenage friends. Learned a lot despite being knowledgeable about NY. Very interesting to see how different many of the exterior shots look in person compared to on film (makes the buildings look at least 10 pounds fatter). Highly recommend the tour for any TV/Movie fans including native NYers. Especially enjoyed the delicious stop at Rice to Riches (Hitch) where sampled (and bought) multiple flavored rice puddings. |

| Can't remember the name of our guide, he is an actor and really had so many tidbits to add when he was showing us around. Would recommend to Jaded New Yorkers like myself. I learned alot about my own city. |

| We all really enjoyed the tour very much. Got to see specific places of interests e.g. the Ghostbusters Fire Station, the Friends building etc and learn lots of new trivia along the way. Also got to see parts of the city we hadn't visited before, so was much more than just a movie/tv tour - a sightseeing tour also! Really good value for money and our tour guide was great too. |

| We visited New York the weekend of the heavy snow in February. We booked the tour a couple of days later and although the roads were still a bit snow covered, the driver managed expertly.
We absolutely loved this tour. Our guide was funny, informative and very interesting. My 15 year old son ( who normally dreads tours!) really enjoyed it. It was full of information of movies and TV from old and new.
We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone. |

| As big movie fans, my boyfriend and I recently went on the Manhattan TV and Movie tour on our first visit to New York. We took the tour on our first day in NYC and found it to be a great way to orient ourselves and see parts of the city that we might not have otherwise visited, as well as being interesting from a 'film fan' point of view.
Our tour guide was Brian Taylor and his enthusiasm and approachability made the tour all the more enjoyable. Not once did we feel that Brian was just reciting a memorised script or that he'd 'done it all before' and he also gave us general information on life in New York from a local's point of view, which we found particularly interesting. Also, as my boyfriend suffers from travel sickness, Brian was more than happy to reserve the front seat of the bus for us. We travel a lot and have had other guides tell us their tours are strictly 'first come, first seated' which of course has made the tour very unpleasant for my boyfriend!
The movie and TV locations were extremely varied and, for anyone who didn't know (or couldn't remember) a particular film, program or character, the short clips shown on the screens on the bus were extremely helpful.
Overall, we would both thoroughly recommend this tour and would like to thank Brian for helping to make it one of the most enjoyable things we did in New York.
