This tour was a great way to see a lot of Manhattan without all the walking! If you're a real movie and/or tv buff, you'll love this tour. My friend and I aren't so much, but we really enjoyed seeing the different neighborhoods and architecture. Being the most filmed city in the world, there were plenty of video clips showing NY landmarks that were shown on the bus. I found this a tad annoying, looking at the small monitor and then out the bus windows (which would have been easier to photograph through had they been clean). Roxanne (our tour guide) loves her job and her enthusiasm was the highlight of the tour. And, she sure knows her tv and movies! I wonder if she actually watches them all or if she has just memorized them (she's an actress afterall). The cookies everyone else brag about are large but rather dry. The tour is long but doesn't really feel like it. We didn't take the Grey Line tour while on our trip, but I wonder how it compares (for information and value)? |

The tour was fun, but alot of things that we we saw were older movies that I have never heard of. We saw the Friends building , some Will and Grace things, some things from the movie Big Daddy, the Cosby Show, but alot of the movies were old. The tour guide was Brian and he was great, very funny.....Our group was small which made it better I think because it was more informative. I would recommend it to first timers to New York because you get to see alot of the city that you would probably never get to if you were walking. |

Overall the tour was good value for money and jam packed full of information. I really enjoyed the locations where Hitch is filmed, I love that movie. The films that were shown I thought were a good range of recent and older films, which I appreciated as I'm a movie geek. It was good that the scenes were shown to us as and when we saw the locations, which made the location seem more in context. The guide Gary was brilliant, very knowledge and obsessed about film and tv show as we all were. There was all to fit in, in the short space of time we had but we were given locations addresses to go back to if we wanted to see the location for longer. Would definitely recommend this tour, very enteraining and good value you for money. |

Been to NYC many, many times and taken many of the standard "Grayline" tours that hit the "famous" spots. I brought my teenage son for his first visit to the city and thought this looked like it had a nice "hook" that he would find interesting. He loved it and so did I, because I got to see parts of the city that I never would have seen otherwise. The whole TV and movie thing didn't mean anything to me; it was the chance to go to locations which would be considered obscure on a typical tour that I found attractive, and this tour didn't disappoint. The tour guide - whose name I forget - was terrific. It really made for a nice way to kill some time on a pretty Sunday afternoon and for my son to learn something about NYC without feeling like he was stuck in a mobile classroom. |

We were able to see alot of tv and movie locations and alot of insight. It also showed us alot of NYC that you normally would not visit. It was a great day filled with alot of trivia and facts about our favorite movies and tv shows. Brian was terrific. |

The tour was excellent! The tour guide was very informative and kept us all highly entertained throughout the 3 hour + tour. A lot to take in- but a useful summary is handed out at the end of the tour as a reminder of all the places you have visited! A great way to see New York and also to find out about film loactions. Excellent! Highly recommended! |

What an amazing experience |

Would definitely recommend it to people visiting New York. You get such a different perspective of the city. It was amazing!
If only it could be a longer flight! |

We had a very nice time, i was impressed with the organization and the fact that when we saw a movie site it was presented on a DVD player to see the actual movie scene. |
