| This trip is definitely one my husband and I would recommend. We went to New York just as the Snow came pouring down and were worried that our tour would not take place on the Monday. But the Bus driver and tour guide were brilliant and negotiated the bus through the snowy streets. This is a great tour if you want to see a lot of New York without sitting on the top deck of a freezing tour bus. We were picked up by coach and taken to all the famous movie and TV spots; we got off the bus 5 times for pictures and short walks. Our tour guide was brilliant and was a native New Yorker, so she was also really helpful on general advice on how to get around New York. I would recommend this tour at the beginning of your holiday as it shows you some parts of NYC you may wish to re-visit later on. Definitely well worth the money and better value than the grayline coaches where you just jump on and off. You can do that on the metro!!
Thanks for a great start to our holiday.

| Would recommend this trip especially if you have a short stay in New York, as you get to see areas such as Tribecca, Greenwich, Soho, Meat packing district and Nolita. Interesting locations you would otherwise pass and not know that you'd missed a movie site. Our teenagers loved seeing the " Friends" apartment! |

| My daughter and I were excited and anxious to go on the tour (Friends is my favorite show), but the Blizzard of '06 prevented it. Maybe another time..... |

| The guide, Kimberly, really made the trip alot of fun -- she knew alot about the locations! Our group enjoyed the sights, the ventures off the bus, and the black and white cookies! Great way to pass a few hours in NYC when it's cold and at the same time get to see some fun sights! |

| The tour was a lot of fun and very informative. I enjoyed that the actual movie clips were shown for many of the locations we passed. The tour guide was excellent. She spoke clearly and was enthusiastic and was very helpful (and kept offering to take pictures.) There were also a surprise or two during the tour. I have been on tours across the country and this is one of the better ones I have taken. |

| The guide we had - Kymberly - was a lot of fun, very spontaneous and knowledgeable. It was fun to see how many sites you recognize from your favorite TV shows and movies. We even ran into a taping of Law & Order. Also, just a great way to see the town and familarize yourselves with the areas that make up Manhattan. |

| Believe it or not the best part was when the bus broke down by the Huxtable house and we had to walk around the area to the friends apartment/theatre whilst they got it going. You saw a piece of down town New York, the houses, the character and people which I would not have visited with the family as they wanted the usual sights (SoL, Empire, Saks etc).
The talk by the host was excellent, knowledgable and amusing and even the driver kept smiling when the bus would not start!
A bit too much 'Seinfeld' and not enough Will and Grace' but other than that an excellent way to spend three hours.

| The tour was pathetic and worse (or better, b/c it caused me to leave the tour) the bus ran out of gas in the middle of the tour.... I wish I could have asked for my money back! Definately skip this one!!!!!!!!!! |
