This was truly an enjoyable experience. The only suggestion is that the bus slow down a little more for those places where the people don't get off. There wasn't a lot of time for good pictures because we kind of blurred by them. Otherwise the tour guide was fabulous and the stops we did make were great!! |

The tour was fantastic with a very very knowledgeble and friendly guide - Kimberly. Not only was she willing to help everyone take photos at anytime, but she knew all aspects of the tour very well and could provide as alot of trivia fun. We basically went on the tour to see where Friends and Seinfield were, and were pleasantly surpirsed to find out many exciting movies that we've watched before come to live in real detail. A tour not to be missed! |

It was an amazing tour, im from Wisconsin but i have lived in Manhattan for a few months. i was totally surprised to find that the place i work at in Manhattan was across the street from the Cosby house and near the Friends house. Our guide was excellent and everything was very nice. The only thing that i was a bit taken aback by was the heavy emphasis on Friends and Seinfeld. I wish there was a broader spectrum because obviously hundreds of films have been in Manhattan. I dont really watch either show so it didnt really appease me too much, but if your a fan you'll love it. The tour was still excellent, i loved all the Hitch and Ghostbusters stops. Wish there was more Home Alone but i guess thats about it. I highly recommend the tour to everyone, when my family comes in town ill be taking them. At the end you wish it would keep going cause you really want to see everything, but it does get a bit exausting, however factor in that it was 95 degrees out so that may have been the reason of the extreme fatigue at closing. Once again if you want to do something different than just the typical sight seeing, this is perfect. i think every person, both movie buff and not, would really enjoy it. |

Gary the tour guide was knowledgeable and ready to answer your questions. We made several stops during the tour and he made it possible to get photos and a quick snack. He made sure the bus was all exchanging input and their knowledge. He is what made the tour so fun. |

The tour was great. I never knew how many Movie and TV locations used New York City as a backdrop. Our guide, Roseanne, was terrific. She knew so much about all the sites, was fun and enthusiastic - she was just a natural and offered to take photos of tour members at our 4 stops. Would enthusiastically recommend this tour to friends. Now I also plan to take the Central Park tour as well! |

A lot of fun and informative |

Our tour guide was Roseanne. She was very informative and entertaining. She was very knowledgeable and very willing to answer all questions. We learned very much about the TV and movie locations. The air conditioned bus was very comfortable and helped make the tour more enjoyable. |

Our day started with the guide singing the Gilligan's Island theme. We arrived early and others later but when we got on the bus it was a free for all with everyone dashing across the street to be the first on the bus. Not orderly like other bus tours we were on with Grayline. Then the temperature on the bus was warm--HOT. Air conditioner was broken. Microphone on the bus cut out very often. We had to stop because bus was over heating so we went on a walking tour.. Then the tour took on a Jamacia bus ride feel when we stopped at a rice pudding store that was in some movie and were a captive consumer of Rice Pudding. At least in Jamacia they sell you beer. Finally back on the bus, nearly everyone was ready to get back but not before one more walking tour. This was taken about 3 and a half hours into our 3 hour tour. Granted traffic was bad, but wasn't that taken into consideration. I'm sure traffic is always that bad at our time of day. And the time wouldn't have been bad had the temperature on the bus been cooler. By the time we arrived back in the Time Square area people were jumping off the bus whenever the bus would stop in traffic. My wife and daughter and I also did the same because we had a dinner date at 8 and it was already 7 and we needed to freshen up because of sweating while on the bus. Not a very enjoyable tour and now I have a feeling of how Gilligan might have felt on the island... |

Our tour guide, Rosanne, was loads of fun. She was very knowledgeable about the sites we visited and her outgoing personality aided the tour. My wife and I had a blast and we definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting NYC. |

although it has been very hot hot hot on the day the tour took place, it was really a highlight of my vacation in new york. the tour guide, named roseanne (!!!!) has been just great and she did her best to motivate everyone and make it an unforgettable event.
some highlights: the friends appartment, the house as seen in bill cosby show, the tv and movie song contest, and the very tasty non-racist cookie (just to mention a view)
if you want to see the movie and tv sites of new york city and besides have a good sightseeingtour then do it! it's just great, i got so many impressions und i had a lot of fun!!!!!!!!
enjoy it, its worth every cent! |
