Gossip Girl Sites Tour

With Gossip Girl in its final season, this is definitely the time to take this tour, and find yourself in the exact places where your favorite GG moments have transpired.

On Location Tours, the world's largest television and movie site tour company, has put together an amazing trek across Manhattan, in a comfortable tour bus that shows memory-jogging clips from Gossip Girl, right before you pull up to the actual filming locale.

See the Met steps where Blair held reign over her minions, visit the Empire Hotel where Chuck Bass was king, or see where it all started at the Constance Billiard School for girls.

This is an expert tour, and not just for females.  Our tour had people of all ages present, watching the clips and snapping pictures through the huge bus windows.  Our guide, Paige, was knowledgeable about all things Upper East Side, and was an expert storyteller.  I truly felt immersed into the lives of the elite, ready at any minute to be whisked away to a high society gala.

And there is not only "window gazing" going on from the bus, but the tour actually stops at several locations so that the attendees can get out, stretch their legs, realign their headbands, and have their photos taken just like Blair and Serena.  One of the stops was at the Empire Hotel, where a reality show was being filmed at that exact moment in the lobby bar.

Spontaneity is one of the wonderful things about this tour, where our guide was poised and ready at any moment to point out any filmings that may have been in progress.  After one stop, she even passed out macaroons, Blair's favorite.

I would definitely recommend taking this tour if you are even remotely interested in the world of Gossip Girl.  It was fun, fascinating, and full of information on your favorite characters.
