Who operates the VIP Gossip Girl Tour?

The VIP Gossip Girl Tour on this site is operated by Gossip Girl Tours, a New York City-based tour operator that also runs gossipgirltours.com. VIPGossipGirlsTour.com is that operator's own site for its private VIP tours, so you book directly with the operator rather than through a reseller or marketplace. Gossip Girl Tours is an independent sightseeing company and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or licensed by Warner Bros., The CW, HBO or any rights holder of the Gossip Girl series.

What makes this tour VIP and private?

You never share the vehicle or the guide with strangers. There is no fixed departure time to catch and no group to wait for, so the pace follows you: linger on the Met steps for photos, skip a stop you have already seen, or add one that matters to you. Pickup and drop-off are flexible anywhere in Manhattan, including hotels and residences, and the vehicle keeps the experience comfortable in any season.

Who the VIP Gossip Girl Tour is for

It suits couples and small groups celebrating a birthday, anniversary or first visit to New York, families who want a comfortable ride between stops, and long-time fans who want time at each location rather than a quick drive-by. If you would rather have an open-air pedicab ride at a lower price, our Budget, Grand and Friendly tours cover many of the same locations.

Which Gossip Girl filming locations you may see

Because the route is customizable, your guide builds it from the locations you care about most: the Metropolitan Museum of Art steps, the Empire Hotel, Grand Central Terminal, Central Park's Bethesda Terrace and Bow Bridge, the Plaza Hotel and Pulitzer Fountain, Ladurée, and the Upper East Side blocks along Fifth and Madison Avenue used for the Waldorf and Archibald residences. Our guide to Gossip Girl locations in NYC describes the best-known stops in more detail so you can choose before you book.

How the VIP tour differs from our other Gossip Girl tours

Our other tours run 60 minutes to 3 hours by open-air pedicab on a set route with published per-person pricing. The VIP Gossip Girl Tour runs about 2-3 hours in a private vehicle with a chauffeur, has no fixed route, and is quoted per group rather than per seat, so the price depends on group size and how you customize it.

VIP Gossip Girl Tour tickets and booking

The VIP tour is not sold as a per-seat ticket: it is booked as a private tour for your group. Tell us your date, group size, pickup point in Manhattan and any must-see locations, and we confirm availability and a quote directly — booking is by info@gossipgirltours.com or 1 929 462 89 34. We recommend reserving 24-48 hours ahead; last-minute dates are sometimes possible. Bring comfortable shoes and a camera — you get out of the vehicle at the major stops.

Request your VIP Gossip Girl Tour date and we reply with availability and a price for your group. If you would rather book instantly online with published per-person tickets, our Grand Gossip Girl Tour takes bookings straight away.
