We did this tour on...

We did this tour on Friday and there was pretty much zero AC on the bus they put us on. A few people dropped off at the first stop and by the end of the tour, only half the people had stayed on. They should not have run it if the AC was not working on a day that was 90 degrees out. Also, we weren't able to hear some of the tour guide dialogue as the microphone wasn't working.

Bad experience no ac on the bus

The bus was hot no ac. I left the tour at the first stop. My wife couldn’t handle the heat. This tour needs better transportation arrangements. I will not recommend this tour.

Fun tour with Lou

A really well guided tour by Lou, she really knew her stuff and kept it engaging throughout. The stop off points for the photo opportunities were perfect. The bus could have done with better AirCon though!

Bucket list spots of NYC Tv and movies hits the spot

The tour guide Tanner was really good and informative, you could tell he had a passion and knowledge of what he was talking about films and tv. he had time for questions, took photos for people at the stops, and was friendly and welcoming, our driver John made the drive smooth to each location and throughout the tour was a bit bumpy in a couple of spots, at the end of the tour we had a pamphlet handed out for a cut the line at Ellen’s stardust diner which was super great as it’s a really great place to eat and entertained without having to wait in a massive queue so thank you

No recommended!!!! Hot and long!!

I would not recommend this tour. The bus was old and had no air conditioning, which made the experience very uncomfortable, especially in the summer. The tour was far too long, and because of the heavy traffic, you don’t actually get to enjoy or properly see most of the places. It tries to cover too much instead of focusing on fewer sites with a better experience. In fact, about half of the passengers left the tour before it even finished, which says a lot. You’re much better off seeing fewer places and taking the time to actually enjoy them. I would not book this tour again.
