Logan, Tom, Shiv, Greg, Kendall—NYC turns into their playground on foot. What makes this tour fun is the two-part route that links uptown and downtown filming spots into one clean afternoon plan, plus the tight group size capped at 12 so you can actually ask questions. I love the way the guide stitches the locations together in story order, and I especially like the final stop in Battery Park, because the Kendall moment lands hard with the Hudson and Statue of Liberty in view.

The main drawback to consider is the walking pace. You’ll cover about 2.8 miles in the morning and 2.1 miles after lunch, with time on foot between stops, so comfy shoes matter more than having great intentions.

Key things to know before you go

SUCCESSION Walking Tour - Uptown & Downtown NYC Filming Locations - Key things to know before you go

  • Small-group access (max 12): easier to hear details, and it feels more personal than a big bus-style outing.
  • Uptown-to-downtown timing: morning tour runs roughly 10:30 am to noon, then you head downtown for the afternoon segment around 1:30 pm.
  • Story-ordered filming locations: from Logan’s funeral site area to the Waystar offices stretch, the route follows the show’s rhythms.
  • Central Park and bench moment: you’ll spend real time near the park to find the filming bench spot tied to Greg and Stewy/Sandy.
  • Battery Park finish: you end with Kendall’s mournful walk overlooking the Hudson and the Statue of Liberty.

New York City at street level, a few more walks

A tight 5-hour walk from Logan’s world to Kendall’s Battery Park

This is a 5-hour experience in total, built around two guided walks with a lunch break in the middle. The morning segment focuses on uptown stops, then you break for lunch and travel on your own to reconnect for downtown filming locations.

The day moves with purpose: morning walking is about 56 minutes and downtown walking is about 42 minutes, with short stop-and-look moments threaded in. Over the full outing you’re looking at roughly 4.9 miles of walking total, split across two neighborhoods.

Starting at Birch Coffee near Kendall’s apartment

You meet at 171 E 88th St in New York City, near Birch Coffee, positioned across the street from the Kendall apartment location. This is a smart meeting point because it’s not some hidden alley—there’s plenty of street activity around, so you can line up fast and get moving.

From there, the tour keeps you walking almost immediately to the next filming area. If you’re the type who likes to get your photos done quickly, you’ll appreciate how the route is sequenced so you’re not backtracking all day.

Uptown: funeral, birthday chaos, and Madison Avenue details

The morning portion is where the tour leans most into the show’s early pressure points: grief, power moves, and the small objects that signal big status.

You’ll start with the area tied to Logan Roy’s funeral, where the tour points you toward the church location used for the event. After that, the route moves to the diner linked to Logan ducking out with his bodyguard Colin during Logan’s birthday party scene.

Next up is Logan’s townhouse residence, which helps you picture the scale of the Roy world in a very real, very Manhattan way. Then you’ll hit Madison Avenue, including the moment where Tom buys a Patek Philippe watch for Logan’s birthday, and where Kendall shops for Tom Ford purchases.

You’ll also visit a hotel filming location connected to Tom meeting Naomi Pierce. The tour then shifts into Central Park, which is a real change of pace: you’ll walk through the park to get to the exact bench tied to Greg spotting Stewy and Sandy sitting together.

Why this uptown section works

This part matters because it builds the Roy ecosystem. You’re not just seeing buildings; you’re seeing the “why” behind scenes—where characters pause, who has access, and how power looks when it’s framed by New York blocks.

It’s also a good mental reset: Central Park adds contrast after the tight uptown streets. If you’re sensitive to hot sun or cold wind, this is one portion where weather can help or hurt—so plan layers and keep an eye on your comfort.

Lunch break and the downtown switch: how you connect after noon

SUCCESSION Walking Tour - Uptown & Downtown NYC Filming Locations - Lunch break and the downtown switch: how you connect after noon
Lunch is on your own, and the tour gives you a practical way to bridge the two guided halves. Between segments, you’ll travel downtown using the subway (the guidance is toward Canal Street station) or by Uber/taxi.

The guide will provide directions, and in some cases may accompany you, so don’t stress about being on your own immediately. Still, since this is a story-tour format, your real job is simple: get yourself downtown on time so you don’t miss the afternoon routing.

I recommend treating lunch like a tactical break, not a long detour. Aim for food that’s quick to grab and easy to eat, and give yourself a little buffer for subway delays.

Downtown: Waystar offices, Roman’s street moment, and Kendall’s meetings

Downtown is where the tour leans into corporate intensity and the public-facing side of Waystar Royco. After you regroup for the afternoon walk (roughly 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm), you’ll start stacking up locations that feel closer together, even though you still have walking time built in.

One of the anchor stops is the Waystar Royco offices, which you view from across from the 9/11 memorial area and the World Trade Center zone. Even if you’re focused on the show, this contrast hits: the series locations sit in the middle of real civic memory in New York.

You then reach the area across from Charging Bull, tied to the Waystar Royco RECNY ball moment and Connor’s cold-butter meltdown storyline. After that, the tour points you to Quality Bistro at 120 W 55th Street, where Kendall Roy meets with a journalist.

From there, the route continues to Le Coucou, the French restaurant filming location where Kendall takes Rava to try to woo her back. Next you’ll stop at an Italian restaurant used for a scene where Greg meets with a Logan Roy biographer.

The walk then includes Greg’s apartment, given to him from Kendall. After that you’ll get a practical break with a coffee shop stop where Kendall and Stewy meet, which also serves as an authentic bathroom opportunity.

The apartments and the politics vibe

The downtown portion also includes major interior-setting filming locations mapped onto real streets. You’ll visit Shiv and Tom’s triplex apartment area connected to the election eve tailgate party and the infamous balcony fight beat.

Then there’s Rava’s apartment, tied to the Woolworth Building. If you want a memorable photo moment, this one is usually easy to spot in the real city texture because it’s such a recognizable New York landmark-style presence.

End at Battery Park: Kendall’s mournful walk with the Hudson in frame

Your last stop is Battery Park, with views over the Hudson River and toward the Statue of Liberty. This is not a random finish point. It’s the emotional capstone tied to Kendall’s mournful walk at the end of the series, after that fateful board meeting.

Even if you’re visiting mainly for the filming locations, the setting helps you feel the scene’s weight. A lot of these spots are about power and performance; Battery Park is where the story tone cools down and the city becomes more open.

If the weather is good, you’ll have a bit of time to linger near the waterfront. If it’s windy or chilly, just keep moving so you don’t burn your energy before the day ends.

Price and value: what $129 buys you

SUCCESSION Walking Tour - Uptown & Downtown NYC Filming Locations - Price and value: what $129 buys you
At $129 per person, you’re paying for a guided story route, plus the convenience of covering two neighborhoods in one day. The big value boosters are the small group cap of 12, the mobile ticket, and the fact that you get a lot of stops packed into a realistic city walking schedule.

You’re also getting a “fan-optimized” approach. The tour isn’t random sightseeing; it’s built around specific filming points, from Logan’s apartment-area starting point to Waystar offices and finally Kendall’s Battery Park moment.

Is it pricey compared to a standard walking tour? Yes, a bit. But you’re also paying for a very specific niche: Succession filming locations, told in story order, with enough time at each spot to actually make it feel like a guided experience, not a hurried hop.

What the guide brings: the difference between facts and a story

SUCCESSION Walking Tour - Uptown & Downtown NYC Filming Locations - What the guide brings: the difference between facts and a story
The tour’s success comes down to how the guide connects locations to scenes. One standout detail I’d plan around is that the guide leading the walk is Patti, who’s noted for being friendly, entertaining, and deeply into the show details.

That matters for you because the filming-location format can turn dry fast if the guide is only pointing. A strong guide helps you recognize what you’re looking at, why it was used, and how the show’s tone shifts from place to place.

Who this tour is best for

This is ideal if you’re a Succession fan who likes walking through real neighborhoods instead of watching a slideshow. It also suits people who want structure: the day has a clear start, a clear lunch break, and a clear end, with the route handling a lot of the “where do we go next?” work.

You should consider skipping if:

  • You don’t like walking several miles split across two guided segments.
  • You want a long, free-form hang time in one neighborhood.
  • You prefer strictly indoor stops or climate-controlled breaks.

Practical tips for an easier day on foot

A few details make the difference between a great day and a cranky one.

First, wear shoes you trust. The walking totals add up, and the stop-and-go pace means you’re not always standing still for long. Second, plan for weather swings—Central Park and Battery Park can be windy, and New York can change its mind fast.

Third, use the built-in breaks wisely. There’s a coffee shop stop in the downtown segment that’s specifically a real bathroom opportunity, which is a lifesaver when your day is fully scheduled.

Finally, charge your phone and keep your mobile ticket ready. If you’re coordinating travel after lunch, you’ll also want your transit app working quickly.

Should you book this Succession walking tour?

Book it if you want an organized, story-focused way to see NYC as the show filmed it—especially if you care about the specific bench moment in Central Park, the Waystar offices area near the 9/11 memorial zone, and finishing at Battery Park for Kendall’s final walk.

Don’t book it if you’re chasing a slow, low-effort sightseeing day. This is a focused walking tour with two guided chunks, plus subway or taxi time between them.

If you like niche tours done well, this one has a strong track record—5 out of 5 with a 100% recommendation note attached to it. For many people, that’s the simplest sign: the format lands.
