Manhattan in the movies

Tanner did an amazing job introducing us to the movies and television shows filmed in Manhattan. He clearly communicated a love of New York and the performing arts. I heartily recommend this tour to everyone who wants to explore the nooks and crannies of New York as depicted in the movies and tv shows filmed here.

Terrific TCM Classic Films Tour in NYC

An amazing way to spend several hours seeing the actual places where famous Classic New York movies were filmed. Being whisked around Manhattan by a private driver in a large very comfortable SUV with a glass roof and windows all around, while our great guide Stephen gave us so much really detailed history and facts spanning many decades of movies shot all over the city! If you like classic films and great cinema that you’ve seen, this tour in NYC is definitely one to take!

Very extensive look at NYC in film.

Steven (Stephen?) was very knowledgeable and nice. Made it a great experience even with the worst weather. Didn't realize it would be just me so that was a new experience but that made it more personal.

Operator response

Thank you so much for the review! We will certainly let Stephen know you enjoyed it!

Steven (Stephen) and the tour were great!

The three hour tour was excellent. Our tour guide, Steven (or is it Stephen?), was very knowledgeable and personable. His movie trivia questions were challenging and fun. I highly recommend this tour.

The tour was informational and the guide was well informed

Enjoyed the tour very much. It was informational and our guide was very nice. It was a pleasant and quiet change from all the holiday crowds in mid-town. The one draw back was that the windows of the bus were not too clean, making it difficult to see at times

TCM ala NYC

Overall, the tour was a good one. Although, it was not something for someone who already knows NYC. Having previously lived in the city for 4 years, it was a bit underwhelming. Although the guide was extremely charming.

Very knowledable tour guide

We’re big classic movie fans. Big roomy comfortable bus picked us up in central location. Made many stops to get out and pullovers to view locations. Little video clips were played to compare current locale with the film. Jason the guide was terrific, very personable, and knew so much info on different movies, AND was happy to answer all the questions. Glad to be on the bus due to rain. With New York traffic you’ll never cover ALL the great spots in 3hrs, they did a great job cramming in ass much as they could. We went on the TCM cruise afterward, this was a great addition. Thank you Jason for a great time.

A great tour for the entire family

I have taken a previous tour from this company and it was fabulous. For this tour, I bought my husband, 15 yr old daughter, and my parents. It was perfect! We got to see so many sights - many we would never have known what was without the tour. Everyone enjoyed it! My husband loved getting fresh bread from Zabar's. Jason is very knowledgeable about NYC and was able to answer all our questions. I look forward to taking future tours with On Location Tours!
