Tanner was fantastic, really warm and personable and we could tell he wanted us to feel welcomed and like were his friends. Appreciated the stops and his help taking pictures and how much he pointed out along the way!

We loved this tour! Our son LOVES shows like Friends, Law and Order and movies like Ghost Busters, so he was in his glory. As for us, getting a tour around the city by a native New Yorker, Roseanne, was one of the highlights of our trip. Not only did we see fun movie and TV sites, but we learned a lot about the history of Manhattan, how the neighborhoods have changed over the years, real estate prices and how filming works in show biz. An all-around great experience.

Positives: Seeing the Ghostbusters Firehouse and the Friends apartment were the highlights and these may not have been easy to find on our own. Loads of other movie locations were pointed out from the bus with movie clips shown. Our guide was friendly and helpful. Negatives: The tour was shorter than advertised- two hours fifteen minutes. I was expecting more stops when we could get off the bus- there were only three. The pickup point wasn't obvious and the bus was late arriving so we weren't sure if we were in the right spot or not.
