Tanner!!!

Tanner was absolutely fantastic. Not only did he fill the time in extreme traffic, he took amazing photos of my family at every stop.

Brilliant fun!

Brilliant! Tim was our guide and he needs his own stand up comedy show - really!! He was knowledgeable and we made some fabulous memories! The tour was the right length and I’m now going home to re-watch a ton of films I can now say ‘I was there!!’ Top tip: if you plan to go to Ellen’s Stardust Diner - the pick up location - go for breakfast as the queues are non existent beforehand!!

Tanner was our guide & he was fabulous from start to finish. So friendly & knowledgeable, he kept us entertained throughout. He shared his personal experiences from the industry & really brought it all to life. I would highly recommend this tour, you will not be disappointed!

DISHONEST COMPANY! DO NOT USE!

SCAMMED. We took this tour after booking it with our Go City pass. The On Location Tours website requested our debit card number to reserve our spot, and assured us that our card would not be charged unless we failed to arrive for the tour, or booked it more than 24 hours in advance. We booked it the night before and arrived on time. Parker, our tour guide, scanned our passes and the Go City app showed that we attended the tour. Even though the On Location Tours website explicitly said it would not charge our card, IT DID, and we were charged over $140 for a tour we had already paid for. After numerous phone calls and email exchanges with On Location Tours, they refused to give us a refund, and even had the balls to accuse the Go City Pass company of scamming us! Let's not even mention the hot, sweltering, antique tour bus with no air conditioning, or the lack of shocks that made riding through NYC a completely uncomfortable experience. Parker was nice, though.

Movie tour with Parker, recommended

Interesting tour , traffic was a heavy so a bit laggy , guide was very knowledgeable about the movies and locations on the route maybe a bit heavy on the marvel stuff for me personally but didn't detract from a nice experience
