| I thoroughly enjoyed the tour - the tour guide was very knowledgable and friendly.
We saw the city in a different light as it takes you upper west and downtown - greenwich village. We went on the tour on a sunday which was ideal as we saw the New Yorkers enjoying there spare time walking their dogs, lunching, watching the kids play baseball - just a brilliant and relaxing time.
Anyway back to the tour! - great if you're a big 'Freinds' or 'Sienfeld' fan, you'll recognise the 'Friends' apartment straight away. Plenty of photo opportunites and we even got a black and white cookie on the bus!
When in the village you get the opportunity to 'star spot' - unfortunately we didn't see anyone famous walking their dog but a freind of mine did when she done the tour! |

| I booked this for my daughter and neice, both 16. They had no idea what most of the movies discussed were. They have never even seen the Cosby Show. So, all they really got out of it was the building in Friends.
I would not recommend it for teenagers. They were bored, and actually, so were my sister and I who are in our 50's. I did not want to go into a Cheese store I never heard of, nor did I want to see 10 clips of the 1983 movie Ghostbusters! |

| The tour was great! It was actually the second time I've taken it with different groups of people and different guides. Both times were excellent as they add a personal touch with their New York experiences. |

| I liked the tour very much. I was a little disappointed with the TV shots as they were very quick and didn't exist at all for some of the stops (Cosby house, friends apartment, friends fountain). Other than that, I enjoyed the tour very much. |

| This was a very good tour. The guide had extensive knowledge about all of the places we had seen, as well as answers to general New York questions. The places we went to were interesting, and we got off of the bus at three different locations. There were treats at the end of the tour, as well as trivia questions. If you are looking for something to do in New York, this would be something to definitely check out. |

| This tour was great. It enabled us to see all the obvious places where you would think things were filmed, as well as obscure ones that not too many people remember until they are mentioned. You also will find out what areas of Manhatten the rich and famous live in. I liked the stops and getting of the bus to see the Cosby house, the friends building, and the You got mail book store. Not only do you see the TV and flm sites of NY, but you also get to see the sites of NY too, its like two tours in one. The black and white cookie was a nice touch. The guide was fantastic, full of fun and information. After the tour I walked over to Trump towers to take some photos and Donald trump walked out. I got his picture when he was only 5 feet away!! |

| The content of the tour as well as the guide's comments and humour made these 3 hours go by very quickly.
My only regret: having waited on the last day in NY to take the tour. I would have liked to know this before and possibly revisit some places on my own.
