This was fun. It lasts about an hour and we learned a bit about how and where some of our favourite shows are taped. They could use somenbetter signage/directions to find where to check in. The concirege desk in the building misdirected several of us, and there are no obvious signs to the "second floor tour desk" that the confirmation...

The page guides were very good. Friendly and entertaining. The security was a little over the top. We saw Dr. Oz studio which was dis-assembled, Jimmy Fallon studio which I didn't care about and SNL which was the best part of tour. I wouldn't really recommend as there are much better choices our there.

There seems to be some inconsistency in the studios that people see - we saw SNL (which was actually very interesting - even saw Will Ferrell rehearsing for the following day's show!), a news studio and a control room. Other than the SNL studio, I would say that it wasn';t really that interesting at all. Howevre, I would have loved...

My boyfriend and myself went on the NBC tour 10:30 sat may 12. We saw Brian William's studio, Dr Oz studio and Saturday Night Live. We got to watch the SNL band rehearse so that was cool. It was a fun tour that I'm glad we took. We had the New York pass and this is free tour with the...

Really enjoyed the studio tour even though, being English, I am not too familiar with the likes of Dr Oz and Jimmy Fallon. Really interesting to see behind the scenes, and the number of lights in ridiculous! Highlight was seeing the SNL studio. Pages were great also, excellent tour guides.

This tour was good fun. Unfortunately the video of the history of NBC was not working so we couldn't see that.
We saw 3 studios (Saturday Night Live, Dr Oz and American Football), it was interesting to hear about how they do certain things for the TV. The make up information session for Sat Night Live was really interesting.

First, you need to make reservations in advance. We were there in the morning and the earliest same day tour time was 5pm. So plan to buy tickets for another day/time. We went on a Saturday afternoon, which I would highly recommend, because you can watch SNL rehearsing. We got to see 3 different studios (inside Brian Williams and Dr....

This was a great tour. We got to see 3 studios. Make sure you book a tour time before hand to avoid waiting in line.

The NBC studio tour is a great experience. Unfortunately I don't know most of their shows since I'm from Europe but it was still interesting to see how and where the shows are filmed. Beware it's very cold in the studios since A/C is turned down very low because of all the lights one studio has.

We did this on a whim when we visited the Rockefeller Centre and were lucky enough to get onto the next tour. The tour was included as part of the New York Pass so was free.
This was really interesting. The studios seem much smaller than they appear on tv - we saw the SNL studio as well as Jimmy...
