The Classic Film Tour in New York takes you to dozens of filming locations of classic movies made in New York. With a focus on ‘Turner Classic Movies’; a collaboration between two large television networks; Turner Entertainment Company and Warner Bros. They are the creators of many classic movies, their repertoire including, among many others, King Kong, Ghostbusters and Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Unfortunately, this tour is no longer available. You can book the New York TV and Movie Sites Tour instead.

Movie sites bus tour

Meet the experienced guide, who is sometimes also an actor, at a Times Square location. Here, you board the bus for a three-hour-long tour through Manhattan. Filmings of movies and TV shows are a daily occurrence in New York so there are many places that you will recognise from the big screen. The bus takes you past many well-known film locations, and along the way, you will see clips of the films that were made in these spots. Places, such as the Empire State Building, which plays a central role in the classic movie King Kong. Also, a market that you will recognise from both Manhattan and You’ve Got Mail. In addition, you’ll see the subway grate responsible for Marilyn Monroe’s famous skirt scene. This tour is a great way to combine your love of film with sightseeing in Manhattan!

Eric’s Tip: During the tour, you stop at a number of locations to take photos. One of those stops is at Zabar’s, a food store with dishes from all over the world. If there is enough time then I definitely recommend getting something delicious.
