This tour was OK. It shows a lot of places from older movies and some new movies that I had never seen. The tour goes by a lot of places very quickly and my husband and I had trouble taking pictures. For example, we went by the ghostbusters firehouse so quickly we couldn't even get a picture of it. We had to go back later by ourselves to see it. Also, the website says it shows locations from Rescue Me. The tour guide never even mentioned it. We went on the Sex and the City tour the day before and there was no comparison. The Sex and the City tour would stop the bus in the middle of traffic so everyone could see the sites and have time to take pictures. This tour is good foor serious movie and TV lovers who are familiar with a lot of older movies and TV shows. |

Our Tour guide (Roseanne Almanzar) was very intersting and knew a lot about the area, obviously because she was a true New Yorker. The tour went more in depth then i thought it would, describing how life was like for Roseanne growing up in a big city, and also what rent control was like and how things in the city had changed over the years. Those types of conversation were excellant fillers if the traffic was busy. I thought showing the clips on the tour bus was also an excellant idea, as you were seeing, what the tour guide was pointing out. I would defo tell my friends about this tour, because this tour takes you around all the different districts in New York, aswell as the tour guide providing interesting facts of each area too. I got to see a lot of New York, which i wouldn't have got to see if it wasn't for this tour.
p.s. Great Job Roseanne, you were excellant.

This was a really thorough fun-packed tour of all different sites throughout Manhattan. It had a great combination of time in the bus and opportunities to get out of the bus, stretch your legs, and see some of the sites more clos-up and personal. The guide was fun and knowledgeable. It was definitely worth the cost. |

I saw places I never would have found on my own! |

Roseanne did a fantastic job. She was animated, charismatic and definitely knowledgeable about her hometown. I could tell she loved the film industry and the "Hollywood" side of NYC. We will cherish our memories and photos we got on this tour forever! Plus I don't think I would have ever thought to get a black and white cookie! Good job!!!
I have a question I hope to get a response to. Where is the restaurant/diner used in Seinfeld? We asked when we were getting off the bus and we thought Roseanne told us 121st and Broadway. We went there, which was either part of Harlem or almost Harlem and couldn't find it anywhere. Did we hear wrong?
Thanks for the wonderful memories to take home with us! |

I am so sorry to say we were not impressed with this tour. We wanted to be but simply were not. The tour guide must have mentioned Ghost Busters over a dozen of times. I felt like so many NEWER movies were made all over this city an so many were not shown. It left like he was advertising 2 or 3 movies over and over and over. It made us wonder if you might have to get approval to talk about movies and you just didn't have the rights to talk about some of the newer ones.
Our guide was okay really didn't do any wrong but let us know he was an actor at least 8 times. I really don't think it is in his nature to do this business. I think more of a comedy type might be able to entertain us. I know he tried very hard to occupy us but really stuggled when it was traffic time. And really couldn't come up with talking points toward the end and we felt like he was just begging to get it over with.
In our doubledecker tour we got almost the exact information about most of the locations. The one thing our kids like was the Friends building. |

We took our 13-year-old granddaughter and 15-year-old niece and I have to say it would have been more fun if we all were more familiar with the specific TV shows and movies that we visited the sites of. The children were a little young to have watched much of Seinfeld or Friends, and we are just not big TV watchers, so much of the tour didn't have the impact on us that it did the people who knew the shows well. Having said that, we still had fun and our guide did a great job! Some of the stops were fun, especially sitting on the steps of the Cosby house and stopping at "Rice to Riches," since we had just seen the movie "Hitch" the night before. We were all tired from doing so much walking in New York, so just having a comfortable bus ride was a treat. Would recommend you read the publicity info for the tour carefully first (either brochure or their website) to make sure you are interested in the sites you will be seeing. |

It was great to take my tv & movie buff 17 yr old daughter on this tour to see so many familiar sites in NYC! She definately considered this one of the hilites of our trip. The bus tour was fun & interactive on a air conditioned comfortable bus, with a tour guide (Gary, we think?) who made it so entertaining! Really enjoyed the mix of on bus site seeing and off the bus walking site seeing. There were 3 or 4 of those breaks which allowed us to stretch, and get out to get up close & personal with some of the most recognizeable exterior shot sites. For anyone who has an interest in tv & movies - there will be tons for you to enjoy! |
