It is hard to find things for teenagers to do, and the three fifteen year old boys I was with liked the tour. The tour guide was excellent and had a great voice. The black and white cookies were great and the trivia contests were fun! Enjoyed touring on the bus and seeing all the interesting places. Also thanks for the planned bathroom stop! I would recommend including a stop in front of the ghost busters fire hall and a tour inside if possible. Had a great time and would highly recommend to other families. |

Even though this was a large bus tour, the guide made it feel like it was a small group. She gave attention to all and took pictures of us at some of the stops. Nice mix of on and off the bus times. Enjoyed the movie clips. |

best thing about my trip! huge Friends fan and was well worth it... a few things were from things before "my time" but they've just updated it with more things such as Enchanted, I am Legend and that sort. Brian was such a delight- really knew his stuff and most definately enjoyed what he did. Would definately recommend to singles and groups! Next time I have plans for the Sex and the City (not enough time this round) |

Loved It! |

As a great fan of televsion and movies, I immediately booked this tour when I read about it online. I'm so glad I did. As you are driven through the city on a nice tour bus, many different sites are pointed out, at which, many great movie and tv events happened. To further enhance the experience, video clips are shown of the shows/movies. Even if I weren't a movie buff, I would have enjoyed the tour of the city. Our guide, Brian, was terrific; funny, knowledgeable, professional.
My preteen children didn't enjoy the tour as much as my husband and I did, but only because they aren't familiar with many of the classic movies and tv shows that were discussed. Brian was able to entertain them anyway with his antics, cookies, and rice pudding stop.
I definitely give the tour two thumbs up but suggest you do it without your kids. |

My wife and I were visiting New York from Scotland for the first time - and had pre-booked this tour. It proved to be one of the main highlights of our trip - we were transported in a luxury, single decked bus - sheltered from the outside weather - and given a city tour of sights which we would never have seen otherwise.
Our guide, Gary Mamoud, was superb - knowledgeable, friendly, extremely polite and patient - and he made the tour the excellent experience that it proved to be. His knowledge of movies and Tv was impressive and extremely detailed. Gary also had to deal with some very challenging children on the tour and did so with great charm, patience and humour - I was very impressed.
The tour lasted for around three and a half hours and included three short walking trips. We saw the Friends building, the Huxtables house, and locations from Serpico / North by Northwest / Spiderman / Wait Until Dark / Manhattan/ Ghostbusters/ Hitch/ Breakfast at Tiffanys / Big Daddy / Seinfeld/ Eyes Wide Shut etc etc.
I would recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in movies.
We were given free black and white biscuits - after a detailed explanation of the Seinfeld scene with the speech re these biscuits! All new to me, but a really enjoyable experience!
My only pointer for improvement is to have more focus on older, classic movies - but that may be a reflection of my age ( 50's). |

All 3 of us really enjoyed this tour |

My partner and i attended this tour with my 13 year old sister and all three of us really enjoyed it. Brian, our guide, was a lot fun and was extremely knowledgeable about the different NY neighbourhoods. He also knew a lot about the movie industry and film making and so aded a lot to the tour in that way as well. He had an excellent sense of humour and made the day really fun. I would recommend doing the tour early on in your vacation so that you can see which parts of the city you would like to revisit. |

Would have liked more trivia |

Rather than just listing the films/tv shows as we passed locations, trivia about the stars taking part, how difficult/famous scenes were shot or stunts planned would have made this far more enjoyable.
All the best |

Really great! |
