Frequently Asked Questions

Your meeting point depends on the pickup option you select when you book. Pedicab tours check in at 1700 Broadway, at the Starbucks on West 54th Street, and the Hotel Empire is offered as an alternative pickup. The bus / SUV tour boards at the Starbucks on 340 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10173. Your confirmation email shows the pickup location for your reservation.

Our pedicab tours ride in comfortable electric-assist pedicabs with your own guide driving, so you travel open-air between filming locations with no emissions. If you prefer a vehicle, the Gossip Girl bus and SUV tour covers more of Manhattan as a fully private ride for up to 22 guests.

Tours operate in most weather conditions. If the forecast looks uncomfortable you may postpone to another date with no penalty, and in extreme weather we will contact you to reschedule.

Routes run from 60 minutes to 3 hours: the Friendly Gossip Girl Tour is 60 minutes, the Budget Gossip Girl Tour is 90 minutes, the Grand Gossip Girl Tour is 2 hours and the Exclusive Gossip Girl Tour is 3 hours. The 2-hour route is our Grand VIP Gossip Girl Tour, and the full itinerary, pricing and booking details live on the Grand VIP Gossip Girl Tour page.

Depending on the route, stops include The Met Steps, the Lotte New York Palace, the Empire Hotel, Ladurée, the Plaza, the St. Regis and Central Park at Bethesda Terrace and Fountain. Longer routes add more of Central Park and the Upper East Side.

Pedicab tours start and finish at the pickup location you select, which for most guests is 1700 Broadway at West 54th Street. We stop at each filming location so you have time for photos before moving on to the next one.
