    Do not use this company, rude, unhelpful and will change times last minute and blame you for it.

    We booked this tour well in advance, got the confirmation email to confirm times 2 weeks before which said 3.15pm. We turned up to the meeting point 30 minutes early to make sure we were on time and were still waiting around at 4pm with no bus arriving. We then phoned with no answer and emailed with very rude responses, stating why didn’t we contact them earlier if we had a problem and it was our fault, even though we contacted them 5 minutes before it was about to begin. As we were from the Uk we didn’t receive the email to say they decided to make the tour earlier at 2.30 (with no reason as to why there was a change) and did not offer a refund even though we would not have been able to make that earlier time anyways due to other bookings and plans. It was their choice to make it earlier, and was not our decision but have still kept our money. It is very disappointing and frustrating.

    Underwhelming Gossip Girl Tour

    They texted us the day before to let us know that our tour would start an hour earlier. This interfered with our breakfast plans which we were luckily able to cancel at such late notice. Then, during the tour, our guide spent a good 10 min trying to meet up with someone else who did not make it to the start of the tour. This took away from our experience. As far as the tour itself goes, we stopped at Lauderee for 20 min while the guide went in to buy each of us a macaroon. We were told we had to wait outside even though the temperature was in the 20’s. This was also a huge waste of time. If stopping there to pick something up, the macaroons should have been preordered. We all froze outside waiting for the guide. Honestly, I feel we would have had a much better experience just renting a car and driving to the sites. She did not give us any history at all at the Lotte Palace, we drove by a school courtyard, got out at another courtyard, got out at the steps of the Met and again at empire hotel. We finished at Grand Central Station. Very underwhelming and a huge waste of money (especially for 6 people).

    New York City: Gossip Girl Sites Private Fully Guided Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.

    How much does New York City: Gossip Girl Sites Private Fully Guided Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $213 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does New York City: Gossip Girl Sites Private Fully Guided Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in New York is not rushed.

    Is New York City: Gossip Girl Sites Private Fully Guided Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 36 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable nightlife in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule New York City: Gossip Girl Sites Private Fully Guided Tour?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is New York City: Gossip Girl Sites Private Fully Guided Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book New York City: Gossip Girl Sites Private Fully Guided Tour?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in New York can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in New York and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does New York City: Gossip Girl Sites Private Fully Guided Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central New York within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in New York?

    +

    New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit New York?

    +

    September to early November, and late April through June. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in New York?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
