Quick Details
Sex And The City Tour
On this guided Sex and the City tour, follow in the footsteps of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda – drink where they drank, shop where they shopped, and gossip where they gossiped.
This tour includes more than 40 locations from the show, and you’ll enjoy all of it from the comfort of an indoor bus with AC in the summer and heat in the winter.
Whether you’re a Sex and the City fan eager to learn more about your favorite show or a tourist looking for an entertaining way to see Manhattan’s best neighborhoods, the Sex and the City Hotspots tour is a must-do!
While many of the interior scenes were shot at Silver Cup Studios in Long Island City, much of the series was shot “on location,” making New York City itself the fifth star of HBO’s Sex and the City. In addition to seeing the sites from the show and movies, you also have exclusive access to special discounts.
