Program details

Take a guided bus tour and discover the spectacular holiday lights and movie sites in New York City, the most filmed city in the world. Guided by a local New York City actor or actress, you will receive an inside track into the film industry as they share personal experiences and secrets from the movie business. Visit a whole host of memorable movie locations from Home Alone to Miracle of 34th Street to Elf and many more. This tour is equally enjoyable for tourists and locals, families and groups of friends so bring your camera and prepare to step inside the big screen for yourself!

Experience Christmas in New York and relive your favorite holiday movie moments. Marvel at the famous tree in Rockefeller Center where Macaulay Culkin reunites with his mum in Home Alone 2. Peek into the brilliant holiday windows at Bloomingdales, Lord & Taylor, and discover the same Macy’s you will remember from Miracle on 34th Street. Pass through Central Park and reminisce about the serendipitous moment John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale had at Wollman Rink in Serendipity.

See the apartment where Buddy the Elf stays with his Dad during his visit to New York City in Elf. Witness the electrifying storefront displays as you’re guided down Fifth Avenue, passing swanky shops like Tiffany & Co., where Zac Efron takes Michelle Pfeiffer in New Year’s Eve. Enjoy a photo opportunity in front of the tree at Lincoln Center and learn where Bill Murray found out his taxi driver was the Ghost of Christmas Past in Scrooged.
