Frequently Asked Questions - Sex and the City Tour

If the tour is sold out, is there a waiting list
No, On Location Tours does not keep a waiting list for our tours. Tours usually sell out, and often well in advance, so please make sure to purchase your tickets far in advance, especially if you have limiited time availability.

Is there an age limit on this tour?
Officially no, but keep in mind that the content of the tour does reflect the content of the show and some of it might not be appropriate for all ages. In addition, a couple of the stops on tour - a few bars and other establishments - do have their own age minimums, and it is up to the discretion of these establishments whom to allow in.

What type of ticket should I buy if I'm bringing a very young child?
People normally do not bring young children with them because of the content of the tour. However, if you will be bringing a child who is age five or younger and will be sitting on your lap during the entire tour, you do not need to purchase a ticket for them. If they will be requiring a seat, you will need to purchase a Child ticket.

Where does the tour finish?
The Sex and the City Tour usually ends either at the original meeting location (5th Avenue, between 58th and 59th Streets), or at the bar Tao which is a couple of blocks away on 58th Street.

Are we on the bus the whole tour?
Absolutely not. The tour takes place on a coach bus since the locations are spread out all around Manhattan. But we get off the bus at a number of locations along the way, giving you the opportunity to experience the locations and take pictures. Whenever you leave the bus, it is with the tour guide. The tour includes a mix of on-the-bus viewings of locations and stops to get off the bus to explore, all woven into the Sex and the City story by your tour guide.

What exact locations do we visit?
The exact itinerary and route of the tour varies somewhat from tour to tour, so we can't say ahead of time exactly which locations will be visited on a specific tour. There are usually 3-4 scheduled stops on each tour, including various bars, shops, and other locations such as Carrie's apartment - but tour routes may differ from tour to tour. You will be provided with a handout that lists all of the real-life locations on the tour so you can revisit them at your leisure afterwards.

Is there ever a circumstance when a location is omitted from the tour?
While it is extremely rare, we do sometimes need to skip or modify certain locations that usually are part of the tour. Since the tour is visiting real-life locations all around Manhattan, the tour's itinerary can sometimes be impacted by traffic conditions, store hours, etc. On Location Tours assumes no liability or responsibility for: traffic conditions, access to sites, or other conditions beyond its control.

Is this also a good general New York City sightseeing tour?
Yes. While the tour's focus is first and foremost on the show Sex and the City, the tour meanders through a variety of New York neighborhoods, and people often find it to be a great overview of the city. The tour usually visits neighborhoods such as SoHo, Greenwich Village, Chelsea, 5th Avenue and more. So even though the tour does not visit such New York sightseeing regulars as the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, etc, it is still a great way to tour Manhattan and get to understand the city and its layout.

Can I bring some wine, beer, Cosmos, etc on the bus?
No, it is against New York State law to consume alcohol on a bus. We do usually stop at one of the bars for Cosmos though, so if you're interested in joining in, please make sure to bring sufficient cash and a valid ID.

Can I buy Sex and the City merchandise on the tour?
No, the tour does not sell any related merchandise. Your tour guides are Sex and the City and New York experts though...if you tell them what you're looking for, they can usually point you in the right direction.

Are the tours conducted in English only? Yes, the Sex and the City Tour is only conducted in English at this time. Since so much of the tour is visual, however, visitors from countries like Japan, Germany, France, Spain, and plenty of others have enjoyed the tour just the same!

What type of bus is used?
The tour is conducted on a closed coach bus. It is heated in the winter and air conditioned in the summer.

Is there assigned seating on the bus?
There is no assigned seating on the bus - it's first come, first serve. If you have a number of people in your party that want to sit together, you should make sure to arrive 15-20 minutes early. Guests that arrive late or right at the starting time are much more likely to have to split up their group.

Is there a bathroom on the bus?
Almost all of the buses used on the Sex and the City Tour have bathrooms.

Are the buses handicapped accessible?
Yes, with enough notice On Location Tours can arrange for a wheelchair accessible bus. Please indicate the need for a wheelchair accessible bus before purchasing tickets to ensure that this will indeed be the case on the date and time that you will be taking the tour.

Are cameras allowed on the tour?
Yes. While photography and filming are not allowed on the bus portion of the tour, there are some great spots for taking photos and video at our numerous stops along the way.

Can I take a stroller or luggage on the tour?
The Sex and the City Tour is conducted on a coach bus, so limited storage space is available. Please keep in mind that there will be several stops of up to 15-20 minutes each, where we will be leaving the bus. If you are not comfortable leaving your belongings on the bus during this time, you might want to reconsider bringing them.
