    Katherine was amazing !!!

    Learning about the movie locations . Think a few more locations would have been better . Katherine made our tour more enjoyable

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much!

    Walking through the East Village in the rain.

    Katherine was there waiting for us with Umbrella in hand. She was so sweet to show us the East Village including tons of movie and tv show locations. Not touristy at all. Very Fun. We asked tons of questions about shopping vintage. She knew quite a few places that I never would have found on my own. Lots of girl talk and Acting.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the kind review, we will certainly pass it along to Katherine!

    On Location Tours failed to provide the tour they sold my group

    A representative called the day before to see if we could change our tour time from 2pm to 10am. That was not something we were able to swing last minute with our packed itinerary. I was told she would check on whether or not they could stick with the purchased time and would let me know. The next day I texted to reconfirm with the rep about the tour. Five minutes later I received a separate text confirming the tour with the arrival instructions etc. We went to the tour spot and no guide ever showed. Now it turns out I missed a VM the night before from the rep saying they would not be able to give the tour time they sold us. It came in while I was in transit and I'll take the hit for that. The confirmation text was apparently automated. None the less, we were left at the meeting place empty handed with unclear communication. I was told we would be refunded, however here we are several weeks later and I'm having to follow up with them to do the right thing. I don't know how it's right to sell a tour time you have no intent on operating. It was very shady that it seemed they would consolidate their bookings into more efficient times for them, despite what the customer bought and planned for. Big Buyer Beware!

    Response from the operator: Hi there, we did let you know the tour was cancelled in advance.

    Disappointed

    Unfortunately they cancelled my reservation with no explanation whatsoever, so I will never know how great the experience could have been. Extremely disappointed!!

    Response from the operator: We apologize, but we unfortunately had a tour guide emergency, and we sent this customer an email the day before the tour notifying her of the cancellation. We also sent free tour tickets to use in the future.

    NYC East Village TV and Movie Sites Private Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does NYC East Village TV and Movie Sites Private Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $39 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 NYC East Village TV and Movie Sites Private Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 NYC East Village TV and Movie Sites Private Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule NYC East Village TV and Movie Sites Private Walking Tour?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is NYC East Village TV and Movie Sites Private Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book NYC East Village TV and Movie Sites Private Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 1 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does NYC East Village TV and Movie Sites Private Walking Tour 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 Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. 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.
