Enjoyable and relaxed - The movie knowledge was great, the timeliness of the bus and fun atmosphere was exactly what we needed after hitting all the tourist lines and attractions. The communication prior to the tour was helpful.

Fab way to see amazing holiday lights - Really enjoyed this tour. We got to see and hear lots of things we would have missed including a great end to our trip with a meal at Serendipity 3.
Our tour guide, Benji, was so knowledgeable and engaging.
Thanks

Stephanie was the star - So first the bus was late, then the tour guide finally showed up and we finally got started. Oh and shortly after, we got clipped by another bus trying to pass us near Columbus Circle.
So you'd think this is going to be a bad review. Not at all.
Our tour guide, Stephanie, had such a spirit and energy about her that it overcame all that. I love movies and to have the clips playing as we drove around was genius. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the background information and seeing the actual sites where some of the scenes had taken place. I mentioned to Stephanie that my wife and I had watched "Serendipity" on the plane, so seeing that place and hearing some of the stories was really cool.
Stopping to view some of the Christmas windows was a treat and I'm really glad that was part of the trip as well. I am not sure we would have been able to see those on our visit if not for this tour. Riding down Fifth Avenue - amazing.
All in all, this was a nice way to spend our first night in NYC and I thank Stephanie for making it so enjoyable.

Disappointed!!! - Unfortunately, I can’t say that there were any memorable experiences.
I took this tour once before, and I would’ve rated it at 10 stars.
However, our guide did not seem knowledgeable and admitted that working the video was her first time. It was actually a disaster.
Most of the time, when she would describe a certain experience that we were about to have, we either passed it up or never saw it. It was very confusing.
She directed us to restrooms at the plaza hotel, in the street of shops that had been closed for three years.
My general sense was that she was not as knowledgeable as she should’ve been possibly should’ve had a script to follow. She was telling the driver where to go.

Boring - Well it got us out of the cold.
I guess that’s worth 116.00
Would have liked more interesting facts
More of an adventure,

Great tour concept, TERRIBLE TOUR! Run away from this one. - I’m 68, have traveled a lot and never had a bad tour. I did this tour with my wife and she had the same impression. I hardly have written any reviews but I want to warn future travelers on this one. This Holiday Lights and Movie Site Tour is a great tour idea. Our guide did his best with what he had but overall this was a Terrible Terrible tour. So bad, I’d like to ask for my money back.
Problems. 1.) A 30 minute late bus, 2.) A bus with heavily tinted windows which made seeing lights on this Xmas light tour really really hard (an open top bus would have been better), 3.) the bright white bus video screens glared in your eyes making it hard to focus out the heavily tinted winds to see lights. 4.) Xmas movie clips were not synced well with our location. 5.) smell of urine on the bus.
We got off after 40 minutes at the first tour stop and our 30 minute walk back to our lodging was way more enjoyable than this tour.

Didn't even get to go on the tour - Signed up for the Christmas Movie tour yesterday (12/02/23). We arrived at the location 15 minutes early like they requested, but no one from the company was there. The bus was suppose to leave at 5 but there was still no one there. Just after 5, a protest moved past the pickup location and they graffitied the Starbucks we were waiting by. They started to close all the shops around the area and tons of police arrived and advised us to leave the area. We called the company and they said they would investigate. After some back and forth they said we had 5 minutes to get back to the pickup location, but we were already 15 minutes away. We asked for a refund but they said it was non refundable but we may be able to get a gift certificate. I understand that the protest is out of their control but they picked the pickup location and did not arrive on time yet we are the ones that get screwed over.
