Our special New York Movie Location and NBC Studio Tour begins by taking in some of the most iconic TV and movie locations in Manhattan, such as the Tiffany's store from Breakfast at Tiffany's and Radio City Music Hall. Along the way, your movie-buff Walks guide will debunk the myths around some of the most misunderstood mise-en-scene in the industry including that fountain and Central Perk cafe from Friends, as well as the secrets behind the unlikely locations of other popular New York-based sitcoms such as Seinfeld.

Eventually, it's on to NBC studios where you won't just step into television history - you'll actually get a peek behind the scenes, and see just how television history is actually made.

In the company of a special studio insider (an NBC 'Page'), you'll get a full tour of the famous studios, stopping off at sets like Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon or Late Night with Seth Meyers. You'll also step into the operations center where every second of broadcasting is filtered, cut, panned, and produced to create the polished product on your TV screen.

To finish the day off, your group will then step into a real studio to film a five-minute segment. You can work on your on-air persona as a host or guest on the show, or get behind a camera or mic to help create the perfect clip. After your NBC Studio Tour, you will be emailed a copy of your segment. Or we'll just have them send it to your agent, if you'd prefer!

Tauren did an amazing job on the tour - she was very informative and friendly. Loved hearing the stories she told and she kept us moving throughout the tour.


FAQ

Does this tour run in bad weather?
Yes. Our tours run rain, shine, sleet, or snow, so please dress accordingly.
Is the fountain from the opening credits of "Friends" included in the walking tour?
Not exactly. That fountain is actually a reconstruction that was built in LA. We will, however, take you by the fountain that inspired the one on the show.
Will we see celebrities on this tour?
There are always some celebrities walking around New York city so we encourage you to keep your eyes peeled. However, we do not usually cross paths with them at any point on this tour.
