## FAQs

### What type of ticket should I buy if I'm bringing a very young child?
If a child is age 5 or younger and will be sitting on your lap during the entire tour, you do not need to purchase a ticket for them. If they require a seat, please purchase a child ticket. While young children are welcome on the tour, please note that if your child proves disruptive or excessively restless, you may be asked to leave.

### Where does the tour end?
The tour ends at 55th Street and 8th Avenue.

### Are we on the bus the whole tour?
Absolutely not. The tour takes place on a coach bus since the locations are spread out all around Manhattan. But they get off the bus at a number of locations along the way, giving you the opportunity to experience the locations and take pictures. Whenever you leave the bus, it is with the tour guide. The tour includes a mix of on-the-bus viewings of locations and stops to get off the bus to explore, all woven into the story of how they relate to the TV shows and movies that have portrayed them.

### Should I tip the tour guide?
Gratuities are not included in the price of the tour ticket. A tip for exemplary service is always appreciated, but never required.

### Is there ever a circumstance when a location is omitted from the tour?
While it is extremely rare, they sometimes need to skip or modify certain locations that are usually part of the tour. Since the tour is visiting real-life locations all around Manhattan, the tour's itinerary can sometimes be impacted by traffic conditions, store hours, etc. On Location Tours assumes no liability or responsibility for traffic conditions, access to sites, or other conditions beyond its control.

### Is this a good sightseeing tour?
Yes. The tour travels through much of Manhattan while highlighting the specific TV and movie locations that are the tour's focus. As a result, families and friends often find this tour an ideal way to tour the city. While the tour will not visit Manhattan landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building, you will be visiting neighborhoods such as Greenwich Village, Chelsea, SoHo and the East Village.

### Are food and drink included on the tour? Can I bring my own?
While food and drinks are not included in the cost of the tour, they do make a quick stop in SoHo where you can purchase a snack. In addition, please feel free to bring something of your own if it is neat and you're sure to remove all garbage from the bus at the end of the tour. Alcohol is completely prohibited on the bus.

### Are the tours conducted in English only?
Yes, they are in English. Since so much of the tour is visual, however, visitors from countries such as Japan, Germany, France, Spain and many others have enjoyed the tour in English just the same!

### What type of bus is used?
The tour is conducted on a closed coach bus. It is heated in the winter and air conditioned in the summer.

### Is there assigned seating on the bus?
Seating is first come, first serve. If you have a number of people in your party that want to sit together, you should make sure to arrive 15-20 minutes early. Guests that arrive late or right at the starting time are much more likely to have to split up their group.

### Are the buses wheelchair accessible?
Yes, you need to contact the number on your e-ticket before your tour to arrange for a wheelchair-accessible bus. It's recommended to give at least 72 hours notice to guarantee the timely provision of an accessible vehicle. Buses have onboard restrooms but no lap or shoulder belts. The wheelchair lifts can accommodate up to 600lbs. If you use a fold-up wheelchair and have assistance, there's no need to inform them in advance, as all buses have luggage space for it.

### Are cameras allowed on the tour?
Yes. While photography and filming are not allowed on the bus portion of the tour, there are plenty of great spots for taking photos and videos at our numerous stops along the way.

### Can I take a stroller or luggage on the tour?
The tour is conducted on a coach bus, so limited storage space is available. Please keep in mind that there will be several stops of up to 15-20 minutes each where they will be leaving the bus. If you are not comfortable leaving your belongings on the bus during this time, you might want to reconsider bringing them.
