There were 4 of us, 3 are Sex & The City fans, 1 had never seen any of it. We were looking forward to this though. The non-SATC fan didn't enjoy it at all, and all of the clips shown gave no clear information or explained much at all.
This is obviously aimed at those who know the series / films, if you don't know the them, it will be useless.
We thought we would get to eat in the restaurant or see more. But actually the whole tour was on a bus, driving round and round having shops pointed out to us that they bought specific items in and then shown the clip of the relevant section!
Our cupcakes were served out of a box, in a park. We thought we'd get to sit down in a cafe they go to. We had to pay extra to buy a cocktail in a bar, we thought these were complimentary with the tour. We were taken to a restaurant that wasn't open to see the decor, and encouraged to book a meal in there. But it was very odd to be shown an empty restaurant, with no one in there and given 10 minutes to walk around it!
And finally we were taken to a sex shop and given a discount if we wanted it. It was simply a money making stop to get more money out of us.
The tour guide was very entusiastic....to the point of complete irritation.
We did get to see the outside of a few other buildings, such as the library, but again we thought we'd get the chance to see them fully....not the case, we just drove by and had them pointed out to us!
For 99% of the tour you are just sat on a coach having shops and bars pointed out to you; some of which the SATC ladies literally only walked past the outside of. You could see so much more of NYC if you did this tour yourself in person. All 4 of us thought it was a waste of 3 hours and a waste of $47. I really would not recommend this at all! |

I really enjoyed this tour. The tour guide Lindsay had great enthusiasm was a fantastic guide. I loved how the clips were shown as well as stopping at the locations. I was disappointed Carrie's apartment wasn't included in the tour, although I am told this was due to residents not wanting tours in the street. I did go there myself. The cupcakes were amazing!! I went on my own (traveling with my husband) & there were several others alone so I didn't feel uncomfortable about that. I'll be reading my purchased SATC book on the flight back to Aus. Thank-you. |

As a NYC-er and avid SATC fan - I enjoyed this tour very much. I took my Mother in Law with me, as sort of a "girls afternoon." She is not as big of a fan as I am - but she enjoyed seeing the sights of NYC!
My big complaint was the tour guide was 15 minutes late. I completely understand NYC weekend subways, but you really need to plan accordingly. We were on a tight schedule, and pulling out 30 minutes late, put a crunch on our day's plans. We actually ended up leaving the tour early, because it was more convenient and in line with the day's schedule - rather than taking in the remainder of the tour and being late for our other activities.
I am usually a very good tipper, but I did not tip because of the guide's tardiness. |

The tour took us around lots of locations from the tv series and films and showed us New York in a fun and novel way. TV extracts showed us the parts of the series the locations were used in as we passed them which was great as a reminder. Our tour operator was great. Really knowledgeable about the series and enthusiastic. |

This has been on my things to do list and so glad that we finally did it. Awesome time spent with friends and reliving the episodes. Our tour guide, LOU, made the day! She was adorable, funny, and well-schooled in SIC and then some! |
