The Gossip Girl Tour was a great way to get a feel for the upper east side and see some hidden gems. |

A great way to spend a few hours in new york. The tourguide was excellent and kept everyone laughing and engaged throughout. Unfortunately a lot of the stops had scaffolding in front of them so probably weren't worth going past. Overall a great experience though. |

My friend and I did the sex and the city tour and I recommend that one more. This one, if you did not watch Gossip Girl, you wouldn't know what the tour guide was talking about. They should have showed the clips on the bus before seeing the place like they did on the SATC tour. Also, the tour guide was very into herself and was very biased. Also, she got in a fight with her boyfriend on the phone while we were on a break and afterwards seemed in a different mood. The tour guide hadn't done it for like 4 months she told us and didn't know two of the stores at the end were closed. that was kind of a waste |

I attended this tour with my wife, who's a big Gossip Girl fan. As native New Yorkers, we are pretty familiar with the city and yet we still found this tour interesting and entertaining. The bus was comfortable and air conditioned, which was key, since it was well over 95 degrees the day we went. Our driver, Walter, navigated the brutal NYC traffic with ease and got us done with the tour in just about the 3.5 hr time frame that was expected. Our tour guide, Paige, was extremely outgoing and well versed on Gossip Girl as well as NYC. She said she was an aspiring actress and had been living in NY for only 4 years, although you wouldn't know it by how knowledgable she was. She really made the tour enjoyable and informative, especially for someone like me who has never watched an episode of Gossip Girl in my life. The bus stops at 6 locations, two of which you get 20 minutes to shop and the rest are 10 minute stops to take photos and/or restroom breaks. The stops were all NYC landmarks but for my wife and I, they were places we've been to before....so we weren't all that impressed. But for the rest of the bus which was comprised mainly of tourists, I think the stops were very interesting for them and they seemed to thoroughly enjoy shopping and taking pics at these locations. As for food, I recommend you eat before the tour, as your only opportunity to eat will be during one of the stops when you can grab a hot dog/pretzel from a street vendor or eating sweets when the tour stops at Dylan's Candy store. Paige served us some pastries towards the end of the tour, which I thought was a nice touch. The only negative I have to say about the tour is the drop off point for all passengers. It was on the corner of 14th St. and 9th Ave, which is about 5 avenues and 37 blocks away from where we began the tour on 51st St. and Madison Ave. There's plenty of public transportation available and on a nice day you can always walk, but it would've been nice to drop us off where they picked us up. All in all, however, it was an enjoyable tour and I'm glad we did it. Thank you Paige and Walter! |
