The following are FAQs from our customers. If you cannot find the answer to you question, please click [Ask Question] to ask. We will answer your question as soon as possible.
1
Where does the tour finish?
The Sex and the City tours end at 42nd Street & 6th Ave.
2
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.
3
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 - 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.
4
Is there an age limit on this tour?
Children under 13 years old, including babies, are unfortunately not allowed on the tour, as the content of the tour and several of its stops are not suitable for young children. Additionally, tour participants under the age of 17 must be accompanied by an adult of at least 18 years of age. Please also keep in mind that 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.
5
What type of ticket should I buy?
Everyone should purchase the adult ticket.
6
Can I buy Sex and the City Hotspots tour merchandise?
Yes! You can purchase a Souvenir Sex and the City Hotspots tour t-shirt - either for yourself or as a gift for a friend - during one of the stops on the tour. This baby-doll t-shirt is $20 and comes in black or pink and three different sizes. If you are looking for general Sex and the City merchandise, please ask your 'sexpert' tour guide. Though it is not sold on the tour, if you tell them what you're looking for, they can usually point you in the right direction.
7
Will we see locations from the movie?
There are a number of movie sites worked into the tour, but the focus remains on famous scenes and locations from the TV series.
8
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, the Meatpacking District, 5th Avenue and more. So even though the tour does not visit such New York sightseeing regulars as the Empire State Building, etc., it is still a great way to tour Manhattan and get to understand the city and its layout.
9
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.
10
Is alcohol included in the tour?
There will be a stop at a bar that was used in the show, where you can buy a Cosmopolitan at a discount.
11
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.
12
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.
13
Is there a bathroom on the bus?
Almost all of the buses used on the Sex and the City Tour have bathrooms.
14
Are food and drink included on the tour? Can I bring my own?
A cupcake at the bakery where Miranda stuffed cupcakes into her mouth is included on the tour. We will also stop at one of the bars used on the show where cosmos and other drinks will be available for purchase. If you would like any additional food or drinks, feel free to bring something of your own if it is neat and you're sure to remove all garbage from the bus. Alcohol is completely prohibited on the bus.
15
Are the buses handicapped accessible?
Yes, but only manual or non-motorized wheelchairs can be used on the buses. We will also need to be given at least 2 weeks advanced notice. However, you must 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. To do this, please click the "contact this seller" link. If you will be using a fold-up wheelchair and will be traveling with someone who can provide assistance on and off the bus, you do not need to inform us ahead of time as all of our buses have room in the luggage compartment to store it.
16
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.
17
Can I take 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.
