Reviews

We visited three studios during the tour. The guides were very professional and courteous, giving insightful stories throughout the tour.

Michael R., United States, 11-2008

Thanks - we had a great time

Catherine S., United States, 11-2008

The NBC Tour is very informative and great for those who are interested in the feild of Broadcast Journalism or other Communications. The brief history movie which plays before the tour begins is both informative and funny. This tour is fun for all ages, there is even an interactive part. However the tours sell out fast as so get tickets ahead of time. I would recommend this tour to anyone!

Shannon F., United States, 10-2008

We went on the 1:30pm NBC Studio Tour on a Saturday. It was exciting to see the SNL cast going through a dress rehearsal of a skit! The NBC pages were very nice, and knew a lot of interesting inside information. We really enjoyed the live News and Weather segment 2 people in our tour group got to do at the end. Too bad the DVD was so expensive, or more of us would have purchased a copy. All in all, a very worthwhile experience.

Rebecca C., United States, 10-2008

This was a very fun tour, especially if you are a fan of NBC shows such as SNL or Conan O'Brien.

Carol M., United States, 10-2008

Had a wonderful time on our weekend trip to NYC from the Midwest. Even got to participate in a news on-camera "reading". Enjoyed it immensely!

LORI B., United States, 10-2008

The staff at NBC Studio Tours were very professional and knowledgeable. I have highly recommended this tour to others.

Brandy C., United States, 09-2008

Tour isn't very long in terms of seeing an overview of the studios, but our Tour Guides were very knowledgeable, personable and entertaining! Just don't go thinking you have a glimpse of all of the big studio shows!

Melissa G., United States, 08-2008

Was pretty good. Great for the price. Make sure you ask questions. That makes the tour more interesting.

Michael B., United States, 08-2008

fun tour, guides good but not very informed

Dave M., United States, 08-2008

The tour was very short. Should be extended to 2 hours. After watching the movie and going through security checkpoints, the tour was about 45 minutes.

Mindy K., United States, 07-2008

I highly recommend the NBC Studios tour. And the TourCorp email reminder system worked great. Thanks!

Frank G., United States, 07-2008

Great tour! Very well done!

Mike P., United States, 07-2008

The only thing that would have made this tour an even better experience, is if we had gained access to more than two active studios. We saw Conan's and SNL's. The guides were great and the price is right. Thanks!

Jeff K., United States, 07-2008

We loved the NBC Tour. It was outstanding. It is always neat to get to see where and how shows are done.

Julie F., United States, 07-2008

It was a good tour and we saw how the news was given and two studios.

Lori H., United States, 07-2008

The tour was very good and interesting. The only down side was that, being from UK, we did not really know all the TV stars and shows. That being said I would definitely recommend this tour.

Angela R., United Kingdom, 06-2008

This was an informative tour, but we were disappointed because we only saw 2 studios. But overall, very cool.

Jennifer G., United States, 06-2008

It would have been nice to meet ONE professional NBC (reporter, writer, etc.) Didn't even have to be someone of fame, yet that would always be a bonus. Guess we don't pay enough for that. Matter of fact, we were told at the beginning of the tour we would be seeing Brian Williams and of course we only saw the desk he sits. However, even a worker who could talk about their NBC experience would have been more exciting for an older generation. Seemed to cater to younger audience.

Patricia J., United States, 06-2008

It was fun to see some of the studios but you are not allowed to take pictures. You don't get to walk on the set, you get to view from the audience seats

kathleen s., United States, 06-2008

Sue L., United States, 06-2008

The tour was great except we were unable to find where to get our tickets and line up. Other than that, it was wonderful.

Lynda M., United States, 06-2008

I would like to have visited more sets. The advertisement indicated more.

Donna D., United States, 06-2008

Very informative and fun to see the actual sets of SNL, Conan O'Brian and the NBC Nightly News.

Nancy R., United States, 06-2008

It was just as advertised. Very informative and fun tour.

Elaine D., United States, 06-2008

Very interesting . I was surprised at how small the studios look in real life.

Anna S., United States, 05-2008

THE STUDIO TOUR IS ENTERTAINING, BUT THE SIDE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PAGES WERE EVEN BETTER! THEY WERE VERY ENGAGING AND FRIENDLY.

MERIL A., United States, 05-2008

The tour was exceptional and the guides were very knowledgeable and professional.

Nancy M., United States, 05-2008

I can recommend it

Philipp B., Austria, 05-2008

I liked the tour of NBC studios; It was very fun and it taught me about the history from when it was still a radio station to the studio we know today.

BARBARA H., United States, 04-2008

It was an interesting tour.

Maurine S., United States, 04-2008

I thought this was an informative tour, and very interesting. The guides were helpful and knowledgeable.

Susan H., United States, 04-2008

Peter G., Denmark, 04-2008

Our tour guides were terrific! The group we were with didn't ask many questions, but when they did, the guides were fun and interesting. We were with a somewhat difficult group, which was certainly not the fault of NBC. The adults and children in our family loved the guides!

Linda B., United States, 04-2008

The tour was great! My only problem was I took my 70 year old Mom and if I had known about all the stair climbing, I would have let her sit it out back at the hotel. Be sure to use the bathroom before you arrive, because there are no bathroom breaks and it is located beyond the ice rink cafe. My kids and I are fans of NBC, especially SNL and we really enjoyed it. Oh, rehearse your news anchor skills in case you are chosen.

Catherine R., United States, 03-2008

very nice

Charlie C., United States, 03-2008

I wish we had been able to see at least one other studio besides the set of "SNL." The two young men who led this tour 3/7 at 11:00am, were very good - informative, polite, personable, and fun.

jean m., United States, 03-2008

I would highly recommend it. But I wish they had made it clear when choosing a time slot, that you needed to be there 1/2 hr before the tour starts .

Sharon D., United States, 02-2008

This was a 1 1/2 tour of the NBC Studio at 30 Rockefeller Place in NY. This was an excellent tour. We saw where MSNBC is broadcast and we saw Brian William's studio and his desk. We also saw the studios for Saturday Night Live and Conan O'Brien. The NBC Pages were very nice and well informed and we found the tour very interesting. I'm very glad we made reservations in advance because the tour was sold out for that day and the next day.

Linda B., United States, 12-2007

Tour guides were excellent -- both knowledgeable and entertaining.

Judy W., United States, 12-2007

My only opinion is that I would have liked to have seen more studios than the 3 we saw. I know much more is taped in NY, and I'm not sure if they are actually taped at that building, but I wanted to see more.

Robin C., United States, 11-2007

Good. Children/teens may not appreciate it as much unless they are into more adult programming. They did enjoy the activity at the end which involved putting on a news broadcast and weather report.

Cyndie G., United States, 11-2007

The only real missing that would have made it for me would have been a tour of the NBC News room. Unfortunately, at the time of the tour, they were filming and unable to see.

ileana k., United States, 10-2007

Peggy L., United States, 10-2007

Our tour guides were excellent and we were able to visit a couple of great studios (Saturday Night Live and Conan O'Brien). It was fun to see where these shows are taped or happen live. We also visited other areas of the building and the information presented was very interesting. I would recommend this tour.

Leslie S., United States, 10-2007

I thought it was very informative and fun and the tour guides were very knowledgeable.

Andrea R., United States, 09-2007

It was exciting to tour the studio and to see the sets of some of the shows I have watched. The tour guides were friendly and helpful.

Robbye M., United States, 08-2007

Tour was prompt in leaving. We visited studio of SNL and Conan. No photos permitted, although they took one which you could purchase. You got to sit behind a news desk and read copy. Fun!

John P., United States, 08-2007

Pretty much satisfied.

Kathy R., United States, 08-2007

When I redeemed my web-printed voucher - the counter person provided incorrect tickets for a tour at the wrong time - resulting in us having to rebook the tour the next day. Because it was a busy weekend, obtaining an alternate time/date that worked in our schedule was very difficult. Verbal apologies were given - but it tainted what was otherwise, a satisfying tour experience.

Edward B., United States, 08-2007

Great tour but it would have been nice to see a show being taped or some of the tv personalities.

Kathryn W., United States, 07-2007

It took us a while to figure out where to go, the NBC studio building is a maze like place. The tour guides need to learn not to speak to tourists like fellow college students, they must have said "You guys, and come on you guys" in every sentence. Other than that they were knowledgeable, and we got to see the spots we wanted to. The tour was just the right length.

Laurie T., United States, 07-2007

good

ira m., United States, 07-2007

This was an interesting tour. The tour guides were knowledgeable. I would have liked to have seen more of the NBC studio.

Rosalyn B., United States, 07-2007

NBC could not be more professional.

James G., United States, 07-2007

My 3rd time on tour, enjoyed each time. Brought different guests each time.

Raymond D., United States, 07-2007

NBC Tour was ok... interesting to see different studios, but would have been nice to see more for the price

Amy G., United States, 06-2007

We had a very memorable time on the tour.

Louise T., United States, 06-2007

Having the vouchers got us the time and date we wanted and saved us so much time. I've already recommended this to my friends.

Russell A. M., United States, 05-2007

Wow! I see NBC shows in a whole new light - Nightly News, Saturday Night Live, Conan, Dateline. It was amazing to see the sets up close. The best part was the Saturday Night Live studio- we saw them rehearsing skits (I think guest host Annette Benning winked at me) and we saw and heard Maroon-5 rehearsing - What a thrill!

Joe C., United States, 05-2007

We had a great time, we actually go to watch the SNL being rehearsed.

Sherri W., United States, 05-2007

Alot of fun!

Phyllis G., United States, 04-2007

Kristine S., United States, 04-2007

John P., United States, 04-2007

This tour was great for the whole family. Our ages ranged from 11 to 75 and everyone had a great time. We had a change of plans and was worried we wouldn't be able to change our tickets to the time we needed, but the staff was very accommodating and changed our tickets to help us enjoy all of the activities we wanted to experience in NYC!
