Brian was fantastic. He was very entertaining, kept your attention despite the mess that was happening back at the office. He had to keep answering his phone because he was not told of a street fair happening and and anoth little hiccup. But, he was smooth and let us know what was going on :).........Brian pointed out things in the city that I could never enjoyed without his direction. Not only are the sites interesting to see, they also give a better geographic idea of the city. The rest of the day, after the tour, my BF and I spent more time between 9th and 14th and MacDougal Streets, how very charming..........I loved it, 5 stars................although the only thing that I personally did not enjoy, and this is a personal preference is the stop at the Bill Cosby brownstone.......What an old, old show. I think you can do better than that and find a more current stop. Other than that suggestion. FANTASTIC....I did the Sex in the City tour last year, and am already looking forward to taking another tour next year.....not sure which one though??? HHUUMM?? Any suggestions? Thanks for a great time. Please tell Brian he is doing a great job and we hope he lands a leading role in TV or film......LOL......Sincerely, Dana and Don |

I was visiting New York with my daughter and it was her idea to go on this tour. It proved to be an interesting informative and entertaining tour showing us parts of Manhattan which we would otherwise have passed through without realising the locations were even there. Our guide, Roseanne, clearly knew her material and her delivery was clear and enthusiastic. Don't forget the driver either. I don't remember his name, but he is a good driver and you have a comfortable bus too. Super trip. Enjoyed immensely. |

Great fun for TV/Movie fans |

The tour was a great way to spend a hot NYC day. The bus has AC and the tour guide Gary was very entertaining. 5th Ave was closed for a parade but he made sure we knew where to go on foot to check out the spots we unfortunately had to miss. |

A well-paced tour |

Gary did a fine job of keeping us informed about what we were seeing. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. You really don't see much besides facades of buildings but Gary helped us understand how films and TV shows are made. |

The tour bus was comfortable. The tour guide had loads of interesting information on TV shows and movies filmed in the City. She was witty and kept things moving. TV clips were shown of many of the locations seen on tour to reinforce the memory. There was a great mix of on the bus and off the bus activities. And, the tour was very affordable. Great deal for the money! |

Fun time! |

My sister, daughter, and I took the movie tour and enjoyed it very much. It was actually a little too long, we had to leave before it was over to catch a taxi for our lunch reservation. Very informative and we saw a lot of the city without walking forever. I wish only two things: the tour guide would have spoken a little more slowly (LOTS of trivia that my brain was too slow to absorb quickly!) and that the sights/clips were of more modern movies. Some of the things she talked about I had no idea and I'm almost 40, my daughter was bored with anything that wasn't 1990 or newer. Good time, though!
I also enjoyed knowing where some celebs live! |

Excellent Tour, I highly recommend it. |

I don't usually like tours and wasn't sure I would like sitting on a bus for 3 1/2 hours, but this tour was worth every minute. Kimberly Tuttle was our tour guide, and she was fantastic. The bus is air conditioned with huge windows, so you don't miss a thing. There were so many interesting sights from popular tv shows and movies, some old and some new, which provided something interesting for everyone. On several locations, the bus stopped and let us get out to experience the location close and personal. An added bonus of this tour, not only do you get to experience tv and movie sights, it's a great way to see Manhattan, Soho, and Greenwich Village. If you are able to find an Entertainment Book coupon, you get two for the price of one. I highly recommend this tour. |

Our tour guide was fantastic. She knew her stuff and her interaction with the "tourist" were wonderful. She really kept things moving along - no lull in conversation and knowledge. I really enjoyed the TV screens to help review and refresh the memory of a certain clip in a movie. I would certainly recommend the tour. |

Way more than I expected |

I was a little unsure of exactly how much fun it would be to just drive around and look at where shows were filmed, but it turned out to be way more than that. Our guide was very funny and knowledgeable. We were able to get off of the bus several times and feel like we were a part of where they actually filmed the show. There was also trivia questions, prizes and dvd clips of the movies/ shows to refresh your memory as we went past each place. At one point we saw someone filming something and they stopped the bus and we went over to watch. It turned out to be an ESPN commercial. I would highly recommend this tour and this company and especially Kymberly, our guide. |

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)? |
