Beautiful experience

A real walking tour among multiple neighborhoods of nyc. Immersed in frames of famous films and other unexplored points that only an insider can show you and can explain .. Andrea was very good, prepared, accompanied us on this trip to know nyc with different experiences. We absolutely recommend it!

Beautiful.

We recommend me and my husband this tour made with Andrea. We were immersed in a New York sometimes already known through frames of famous films and other times totally new with nooks and places unknown to most. I recommend everyone to get to know this beautiful city with a guide like Andrea because despite the miles done (and it is the only way to really see New York!) he immersed us in the real life of the places visited. Experience that we would definitely do again!!

New York City Film and TV Series Location Tour

Good morning everyone. I must say that more than a tour it was a beautiful experience inside the streets and alleys of New York that without Jack, our Italian guide, I probably would never have discovered. We were also lucky, being just us, Jack was able to devote himself to us completely and clarify all our curiosity not only in the film industry, but also about the city of New York itself. We have seen everything that is described in the tour, but even more. It was a six-hour walk well spent that I would gladly do again even x see only Jack who in the end had become like one of the family very serious, prepared, and very nice. . . I can conclude by saying that this tour is a journey into the world of cinema and sixe TV that I recommend to all fans and not because it is really worth it. Thanks again Jack for your availability.
