We come from Belgium and are TV/Movie loving fans!!The tour was even much better than we expected!!Our guide Roseanne had an incredible TV/Movie culture + spoke well so everything was clear + was funny and kind and we had time to look take pictures,....not only was it great for the movie sites but it was also a great tour through NY City.The rest of our visit in NY ,everytime we came out of the subway we said : Ooh we came here on Monday with the bus during the tour!I We hope other tours will develop and we are looking forward during our next visit to NY City to book another tour!! |

My wife was the one who wanted to do this trip, but I was a bit skeptical that it would be any good, I was quite wrong. What worried me most was other reviews on this site giving me the impression that the tour could be disorganised and have people seated in bad places on the bus, but having been on a tour I know exactly what can happen and why. Basically we turned up in advance (as stated) and got on the bus and got nice seats. However there was a family that was quite late, and they had to sit apart from each other as there were only a few places spaced out, so this makes sense - turn up late, you don't get good seats.
As for disorganised, it simply was not this at all, it was really well organised. Kimberley kept us informed of everything that was happening, let us know there was a "same seat" policy which made us happy as we kept our nice seats, asked everyone to turn their cellphones off so as not to disturb anyone, and had an absolute mountain of information about all the various locations and lots of interesting stuff about why buildings appear in certain shots the way they do yet seem different in real life. She had heaps of fantastic quotes from shows & movies and had quite a nice signing voice. They say it is supposed to be a "sing along" tour but really this is just a bit of a laugh, no one has to join in and it only happens a couple of times, and the context is great & sensible when it does.
The bus is air conditioned and the driver was really good. You get off regularly, but not too regularly. You also get a free cookie (like the black & white cookie from seinfeld) and also you can optionally choose to purchase some lovely rice pudding and eat it on the bus (from a place in one of the movies). They also play clips from the movie on the bus, though towards the end the DVD seemed to have errors on it which caused some problems, hopefully they'll sort this out soon.
I can't recommend this tour enough, you get to see some places you would not normally see, get to enjoy some funny stories & have a couple of snacks - its fantastic! |

I think we could have seen a bit more than we did. |

We were there on June 1st. Kimberly was our tour guide. She was soooo informative and funny. Kept the entire bus entertained. We had a group age ranging from 22 to 50 and we all had a great time. |

Great time! |

The guide was affable and young--wish he knew more about New York and older movies and the history of movie making in the city--have him go see the Turner Classic Movies exhibit at Grand Central to see how much more would be possible |

We went on the New York TV & Movie sites tour and it was excellent, we saw alot of interesting things and got some excellent pictures.
