We love our customers!
On Location Tours came across a great review of our NYC TV and Movie Sites Tour and wanted to share it with the world all of you. We love our customers and are always happy when the love is mutual! Many thanks to A Thousand Guitars for writing about your positive experience with us.
Here's a tidbit from the full tour review, "The best, and most unique part about the trip with On Location Tours, is that in their clean and comfortable air-conditioned buses, they have TV screens throughout the bus, and in between locations, passengers get played clips from most of the movies that show the location they’ve just seen. This feature truly makes the tour, because it’s all very well for someone to tell me that that boring brown building over there was Jennifer Garner’s office in 13 Going On 30, but to see her walking into the very same building I just saw really brings the movie location, and thus the whole point of the tour, alive for the passengers."
If you've been on one of our tours, we'd love to hear your feedback!
