Traveler reviews
Fantastic Guide, But the Bus Needs Major Upgrades
The NYC TV & Movie Locations Bus Tour was a lot of fun and offered some great behind-the-scenes insights into famous filming locations from Friends, Seinfeld, and many other shows and movies. The highlight of the experience was definitely our tour guide, who was knowledgeable, energetic, and kept everyone entertained throughout the tour. Their enthusiasm and stories made the locations come to life and added a lot of value to the experience. Unfortunately, the bus itself was disappointing. It appeared quite old, the air conditioning was not working properly, and the seats were extremely uncomfortable for a tour of this length. On a warm New York City day, the lack of adequate air conditioning made the ride much less enjoyable than it could have been. Overall, I would still recommend the tour because the content and guide were excellent, but the company would greatly improve the experience by updating the buses and ensuring the air conditioning is functioning properly. The guide earned 5 stars, while the bus brought the overall experience down.
Fun and easy
Our guide was Tanner, and he was as knowledgeable as he was accommodating. The bus was a little late, which was understandable in the awful traffic. He kept us informed of what was happening and then we were off. My friend's kids were utterly charmed by Tanner and I thought we had plenty of time for stops at the sites. Seeing the Ghostbusters fire house has been on my bucket list, and your company made it easy to check off.
Great sites, not a great bus
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. However the bus was late and did not have air conditioning so it was miserable. We also had very little time at the stops.
Must do!
Lou (I hope I spelt her name right) was a wonderful guide! So much fun, interesting and very informative. This is a great tour to do in NYC especially if you have watched TV series and movies set in NYC. To see it in person makes it so real! I would do this tour again.
Great tour
We really enjoyed this trip with Parker as our host. From the outside , the bus looked very small but the seats were roomy and comfortable. We drove past a lot of locations where films and tv episodes had been filmed and he gave us lots of interesting info. We stopped off at a few locations as well. There was a large screen inside the bus and he played clips of the location shots from the films which made the whole experience even better, and he threw in a trivia quiz for when we got stuck in traffic, a great afternoon
