    What you'll see and do

    1. Tudor City

      Tudor City Overpass is the best vantage point in Manhattan for a photo of 42nd Street stretching west, with the skyline framed above it. This elevated walkway has appeared on screen in Spider-Man, where Peter Parker faces the Green Goblin, and in The Bourne Ultimatum — and it's where your guide helps you line up the shot.

    2. Daily News Building

      This is the Daily Planet. The News Building stood in for Clark Kent's newsroom in Superman (1978), and its Art Deco lobby — home to the largest indoor globe in the world — is as cinematic in person as it is on film.

      10 minutes here

    3. Chrysler Building

      Walk past the iconic Chrysler Building, one of New York’s most recognizable landmarks and a familiar backdrop in films such as Men in Black, Spider-Man, I Am Legend, and The Avengers. Discover the stories behind these memorable movie scenes and see the building from a cinematic perspective.

    4. Gossip Girl fans will know these courtyard steps instantly — this is the van der Woodsen residence. More recently, the hotel appears in Materialists with Dakota Johnson. Built in 1884 as the Villard Houses and now part of the Lotte New York Palace, the Renaissance-style mansion is every bit as grand in person.

    5. Rockefeller Center

      Visit Rockefeller Center, one of New York's most iconic landmarks and one of the city's most filmed addresses. Stand where Kevin McCallister wished for his family back in front of the Christmas tree in Home Alone 2, then learn why the complex's hidden rooftop gardens — closed to the public — have doubled as the Continental's terrace in John Wick: Chapter 2 and as the spot where Spider-Man sets Mary Jane safely back down. Your guide shares the behind-the-scenes stories that brought this famous location to the screen.

    7. Trump Tower

      Pass by Trump Tower, a striking Fifth Avenue landmark and the on-screen home of Alexander Cullen, the real estate mogul at the heart of the murder trial in The Devil's Advocate. This stretch of Fifth is also where the Statue of Liberty strides down the avenue in Ghostbusters II — one of the most ambitious effects sequences of its era.

    Midtown Manhattan Movie Tour Iconic Filming Locations: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.

    How much does Midtown Manhattan Movie Tour Iconic Filming Locations cost?

    +

    Prices start at $34 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Midtown Manhattan Movie Tour Iconic Filming Locations take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.

    Is Midtown Manhattan Movie Tour Iconic Filming Locations worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Midtown Manhattan Movie Tour Iconic Filming Locations?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Midtown Manhattan Movie Tour Iconic Filming Locations suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Midtown Manhattan Movie Tour Iconic Filming Locations?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Midtown Manhattan Movie Tour Iconic Filming Locations start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in New York?

    +

    New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown Walking Tour in New York. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit New York?

    +

    September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in New York?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Midtown Manhattan Movie Tour Iconic Filming Locations?

    +

    Included: Printed movie booklet to keep, with film trivia, scene details and a map of the locations. Not included: optional gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Midtown Manhattan Movie Tour Iconic Filming Locations?

    +

    You tour guide will be waiting in front of the Cafe. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Midtown Manhattan Movie Tour Iconic Filming Locations offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Midtown Manhattan Movie Tour Iconic Filming Locations?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Midtown Manhattan Movie Tour Iconic Filming Locations wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Midtown Manhattan Movie Tour Iconic Filming Locations if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in New York. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
