Parker was good but tired
Thomas ·We quite enjoyed the outing. Parker is a funny guy, but what bothered us was the constant yawning—unfortunately, that was even the first thing he did after saying goodbye. It doesn't make a good impression, and it’s also a matter of respect for the guests. He does a good job and has a sense of humor, but next time, please make sure you’re well-rested 😉
Très chouette
Leslie ·3 arrêts : caserne de Ghostbusters, Washington Square Park et immeuble de Friends. Sur le parcours en mini-bus, on voit plein de choses en voyant l'extrait de la série ou du film juste avant/après sur un écran dans le minibus. Guide très sympa et au look typiquement américain de la TV
A must do!
Lindsay G. ·Amazing experience! Roseanne is incredibly knowledgeable, funny and helpful. All kind of little details and of course the amazing scenery.
Good tour
Traveler ·Bus tour takes you to a lot of places where movies were filmed, but you only get out at 2 spots. It's hard to get pictures from inside the bus just driving by in traffic. Our guide Tim was knowledgeable and funny
Cancelled
We had an itinerary for the 4 day all inclusive pass purchased, we booked this tour for 1.15 on the 10th Sept but it was cancelled and moved to the 11th, but this meant our passes had expired, and we had other things booked around it, we were told that the agent would talk to the office as this was no fault of our own but didn't get back to us till Thursday night, we were informed the bus was fully booked but we could come and see if anyone didn't turn up, so we opted for that, we were offered a different tour which didn't interest us or go on Saturday but we were heading home on that day. We turned up on Friday but everyone turned up so couldn't take the tour, if anyone is going to book this tour do it for the start of your holiday then if it gets changed you have time to change it, we booked a walking tour with them that was also changed to a different date.
Not worth it.
Francis ·The bus was really busy and traffic was awful. Had 2 stops but could only stop for 5 mins. Missed alot of the landmarks due to time. Guide was lovely tho.
