Was looking for things to do with the city pass and found the NYC TV & Movie Tour with them. The tour guide Lou had very good knowledge and a great attitude. We saw popular spots in NY like the Friends Apartment, Washington State park, Ghostbusters Headquarters and many others. You will enjoy this if you are a huge fan of movies, especially American.

Ok, I'm fashionably late in writing this review for the Sex and the City tour I took with my BFF on April 25, 2025, but better late than never! Hannah was our tour guide, and she was fabulous! Apologies, but I forgot the name of the driver, he was amazing as well- navigating traffic, fixing the microphone, and making sure the AC was pumping. Hannah was professional, entertaining, and had all kinds of tidbits. She even took pictures of us at some of the locations we hopped off at. The mini-cupcake from Magnolia Bakery was delicious, and the Cosmopolitan was fabulous! The three-hour tour flew by! I highly recommend this tour and Hannah! Now if the tour company can just update their marketing and media to include Hannah (she wasn't on the brochure or emails we received about the company guides:(

This tour is amazing, my wife and me are tv/movie buffs and specially for me who works in the México Film Industry , this was an incredible experience. Dan is a terrific guide, always willing to help and explain everything, personally for me there are so many fun facts or trivia that could be included in the tour.
Maybe mention more of the incredible movies that were shot in Chicago, Child’s Play, The Blues Brothers, Primal Fear, etc
Thank you so much for an incredible tour

It was the most perfect way to spend Christmas Eve with their holiday lights tour and reminiscing as movie clips were shown with NYC holiday scenes. It was great to be allowed to get off the bus at various locations to take pictures and enjoy the decorated windows as well as walk around Bryant Park holiday market. Didn't even mind being stuck in traffic as it gave me more time to view the holiday decorations and Rockefeller Christmas tree from inside the warm, cozy minibus with festive holiday lights. The tour guide, Hila was very dynamic and engaging as she shared fun facts and gave us treats whenever we answered questions correctly. It was also so nice to meet friendly tourists from all over the world. This particular tour was fun for adults and children as I went with my son and another girlfriend and we all had a blast! I'm looking forward to doing other On Location tours.
