I highly reccommend this tour. Not only do you get a great tour of New York city, but you also get interesting information about movies and television shows that have been filmed in the city. The tour guide was fun and was full of all kind of facts about what we were seeing. It really was a great time! |

A definite must!!! |

This was certainly one of the best tours I have been on. It was very detailed about everything, but not boring and lots of fun! Found out a lot of interesting things about films that I never realised and it was one of the most enjoyable parts of my trip in New York.
Highly recommend it to anyone visiting. |

Hello,
First off, I was very pleased that you offer this tour! When I was searching for one to take, your offered everything I was hoping for.
And our tour guide, Roseanne, was very accommodating when I asked her to stop at the GHOSTBUSTERS fire station, which she did.
The only problem I have with the tour is that our Guide seemed to have no idea on how to read her group. Many of them did not speak English, and yet she kept making inside jokes, that very few people on the bus understood, and talking about shows that they all acknowledged that they have not seen. And she kept doing this even after she figured out that there were only a few people on the bus who understood her.
So she was doing her schtick, which I am sure does not change from tour to tour, and that is fine, as a performer myself, I can understand that it is easier that way, especially if you do several shows a week.
However, the thing that I had a major problem with was her constant plugs for herself, and her own career. Personally, I don't care what shows she has been an extra in, or had a walk-on in. Yet, even though none of us on the bus seemed to care, she kept referring back to her own career, sometimes at the expense of what she was supposed to be talking about on the tour.
And when I write "at the expense of the tour", I refer to the amount of people's names she pronounced wrong. She was presenting herself as a person who knew it all, yet she kept getting things wrong.
Maybe she just had an off day, we all have them, but if she had spoken about herself less, and gotten all of the names and references correct, I would strongly recommend your tour to anyone.
As it is, I have been telling people the tour was great, and they should take it, but to try and book a tour that Rosanne isn't doing.
Otherwise, it was a once-in-a-lifetime event!
Thanks for offering it!

Movie geek Gary filled the tour with life. From the first minute we had a great time, though we didn't know all of the films and TV series. Definitely a must for all NY-visitors who like TV or movies! Thank you, Gary, thank you, Kevin! |

Really looked forward to this tour but was disappointing in the end. Our youngest was having a bad day and despite our best attempts to settle her she wasn't in the mood to be quiet and still. Tour guide asked us to move to an isolated area of the bus (how do you do this on a full bus tour???) so we left half way through.
Not recommended for young kids - all the shows are geared towards adults and the TV/Movie clips are too short to be appreciated by young kids (they are over before they have a chance to ask what it is all about).
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his topics and it was good to see what we did see but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with young kids. If you are travelling without youngsters though it is a great tour to take. |

I enjoyed the tour very much. I would recommend that the location destination handout be provided at the beginning of the tour so organized individuals can use it to check off or to make notes about the locations. I didn't get the handout until after the tour was over and it just went in my bag. |

Worth it :) |

Won't bore you too much but the New York TV and Movie Sites tour was well worth the money we paid for the tickets. My wife is a big 'Friends' fan, and really enoyed seeing the location used for shooting the scenes that show you the Friend's apartment and the highlight for me (being a man) was seeing the Ghostbuster's fire house :)
It also covered a hell of a lot more than this in a TV show and movie sense and was in general a nice sight seeing tour of Manhattan as well. You get to stop at a few locations to take pictures and the three hour duration is probably about right.
A word about the guide (who I believe is also an actress too??) on the bus, she was lovely and very enthusiatic about that whole thing and that's something that can really only come from a love of what you do and a love of TV and film as well. Full credit to her and she kept us entertained the whole way through.
If you spend money on doing this, you won't be disappointed :) |
