okay, I am not a big TV guy but have been watching SNL on and off for the past 25 years. Just to sit in the studio to see how small and ordinary it really is was fascinating. To me, that was worth the price of admission alone. The rest of the tour was interesting. Our guides were pleasant, involved...

We had 2 hours before we had to head to the airport and we didn't want to waste our last few hours in NYC. Spur of the moment we decided to do this tour. We walked right up to the ticket counter and got the last 3 tickets for the tour which was leaving in 10 min. The two tour...

NBC studio tour was very disappointing while I enjoyed the behind the scenes look you only saw 2 studios SNL and the today studio. I would not recommend it. Enjoy your time in NY doing something else.

Saw a few of the SNL cast members reporting for work! Tour was well organized and included a few sets and a movie. Nice to see behind the scenes!

This tour takes you a fairly quick (1hour 15 min.) zip through NBC studios at Rockefeller Center. You are shown the studio where Saturday Night Live is done as well as (depending on the day, we were told), the Today Show set, Dr. Oz's studio, other news studios, and the Jimmy Fallon studio. It's fun to see where this is...

But the information, service and the pages were fine, though, very informative in providing information. The air con was so cold and t...

A tour that would be enjoyed by all ages. You get to visit studios, see tapes of old shows, go on a weather set. The guides are interns and very full of enthusiasm and fun stories. Book in advance on line.

A very interesting tour of the NBC Studios at the Rockefeller Center – make sure to book in advance, so you don’t have to wait.
It starts with a video showing clips from all the different shows produced by NBC, then you are shepherded around the building by two helpful pages (just like Kenneth in 30 Rock). We saw the...

The tour was really good! they had two girls telling us everything about NBC studios and they take you to some sets (where it's really cold so don't forget something to cover you), then you can read the news and weather, that was really fun!

This was an interesting tour. Got to see the Saturday Night Live studio, which is a lot smaller than you'd think. Also the Dr. Oz studio. Enjoyed learning about the shows filmed there.
