Wonderful tour of movie sites. - The tour was so good. Our guide, Rory was the best part because he did movie quotes in the character’s voices that really brought the locations to life. We learned many interesting facts that I never knew. Highly recommend!

It's OK - We could not wait to do the tour, as my wife is a huge fan of the film, but teh tour did not live up to expectations. The tour guide Jerry was fun and had stories but in the hour of his company we only were shown 4 places of interest. A few back stories about the cast and that was it. I know the tour is not a lot of money but we excepted more.
