Seinfeld Tours by Kramer

This Tour just made our Trip so much more memorable. For Seinfeld fans, you would love this! We got to experience being in an old theater and had a tour. Watching Seinfeld now is so much better because Kenny Kramer told us stories about so many aspects of the show, from how it came to be, storylines, the crew and showed us around the places some scenes took place. And to top it off, we stopped for soup & took pictures! Thank you Mr. Kramer for offering this tour, it was an awesome experience and an honor to meet you!

Honestly, a two stars rating is very generous. I love Seinfeld fanatically and I love «the idea» of this tour, especially since its incorporated into the tv-​show. But this is so hard too do justice. I feel like I have to write this from two angles:
1. As a tour it is certainly lacking a whole lot. It’s more of pointing out obvious landmarks as the bus rolls around than a Seinfeld related tour. We roll by the Apple store and are given the fascinating info that Kramer (the real one) one had to exchange his ipad in the middle of the night, and that was not a problem. Riveting. The media equipment on the bus was awful with videos looking like old wilted VHS tapes with the sound brawling out from broken speakers.
2. I loved the tour. It’s a very fond memory because of the cheapness and the make do attitude. It’s still very much alive in my memory.
So, don’t have any expectations and accept the weirdness/​Kramer-​ism of it all and you’ll love it.

Loved the tour! Any Seinfeld fan’s dream come true. The Real Kramer is so funny and articulate. He told tons of stories about the show and Larry David. Not only did the bus tour take us to a lot of the seinfeld famous sights, Kramer also told us a lot about New York in General as the bus passed by some New York landmarks on the way to the famous sights. And the soup from the Soup Nazi was delicious!

This is one of the better values in Manhattan. If you are a Seinfeld fan there is really no reason to not go on this, the «real Kramer» gives a professional, planned out entertaining experience for all the fans. It’s not a fogazzi rip off of the real show. Several episodes are actually based on a lot of real life experiences of the true Kenny Kramer.
He is personable, and you can tell he wants the customers to get their money’s worth. Which you will.
You will hear tons of Kramer and Larry David stories which are incredible. 3 hours of interaction with the real Kramer gives a greater appreciation for writing of Seinfeld and how the show evolved to be the greatest sit com of all time. He validates that though there are some creative liberties to the characters they truly are based on real people and real experiences which is why it is so relatable across generations.
Recommended for all Seinfeld fans, if your not a fan — NO TOUR FOR YOU

Now if you love TV as much as I do, and you love 90s sitcoms, you’ve got to go on the Real Kramer Tour. Just like the character of Jerry Seinfeld who lived across the hall from Cosmo Kramer in the show Seinfeld, co-​creator Larry David lived across the hall from Kenny Kramer in Hell’s Kitchen, and voila, the inspiration behind Michael Richard’s character was born.
As the story goes, Seinfeld and Larry David were going to call the character ‘Kessler’ due to fears that the name might spur the real Kramer to exploit it, but they decided that the name was too good not to use. And of course being an ‘artist’ himself, Kenny Kramer proceeded to contact the show with a list of demands that were of course financial but one demand not met was that Kenny would get to play Kramer which eventually would be parodied in the show. This then led to Kenny starting Kramer’s Reality Tour (which was also later spoofed in the show) which tells behind the scene Seinfeld stories and takes you to tour sites made famous by Seinfeld. On the bus it even says: Of course I’m the real Kramer, who else could have thought up a scheme like this? Now what more proof do you need?
The ‘real’ Kramer invites you to join him as he takes you on a 3 hour bus tour of New York City (and he is a licensed New York Tour Guide by the way). As I went quite a long time ago, some of the tour may have changed, but you visit locations like the real Soup Shop (aka the Soup Nazi), the office building where Elaine worked for Pendant Publishing and of course the iconic Monk’s Restaurant (which is really Tom’s). After a few photo opps, seeing where Elaine bought her last ‘sponge’ (apparently we weren’t sponge worthy to stop), Kramer then took us back to the restaurant at the bottom of his building (as he is the Master of his domain) for homemade pizza and dessert — a Snickers served with a knife and fork of course.

Yes, Yes, Yes! Do not hesitate.
Led by the real life Kenny Kramer, who gives great background so some the the Seinfeld plots.
The tour begins in a theater, then takes you on a coach tour of Manhattan, including a stop at the soup nazi (for the best soup EVER)
Kenny is a really nice guy, very friendly and welcoming of pictures.
Really recommended!

The Seinfeld Tour was absolutely amazing mainly because it’s actually led by the real life Kramer — Kenny Kramer!
It was such a hoot hearing Kramer tell us about his personal experiences being neighbors and friends with Larry David (real life George). He told us many stories about Larry David, and about real life events that made it onto the tv show.
The tour starts out a local theater with a warm-​up comedy act and then Kenny Kramer is introduced. He told us about the show, his involvement with the show and how he launched the tour, and then got right on with his entrepreneurial ways, and began pitching his many different products he sells. It was quite funny — life imitating art! He sells a wide variety of creative gift items and apparel. Our budget was tight so we skipped on that, but he was signing items as well.
Then on the bus, Kramer led us around the city showing us many spots featured on the show and real life spots like his apartment building he shared with Larry David.
There’s also a pit stop at the original Soupman location which the Soup Nazi episode was based on. It’s just a soup stand, but boy is the soup marvelous. Kenny Kramer also poses for pictures here! We got an awesome picture with him in front of the place,.
He’s really nice, and signed our tour pamphlet and posed for photos. He’s quite funny too and the anecdotes he shares really make the tour.
This is an absolute must for Seinfeld fans!

The inspiration for Michael Richards’ obnoxious or hilarious — depending on your point of view — character on Jerry Seinfeld’s hit TV series, Kenny Kramer conducts a three-​hour multi-​media tour focusing on many of the city sites that played a major role on the program. Departing on a deluxe motor coach every Saturday at noon, it includes visits to locations such as the Soup Nazi’s shop, the office building housing Elaine’s company, Pendant Publishing, and of course the diner that served as Monk’s, where the gang seemingly lived when not involved in some harebrained scheme. Commentary includes backstage gossip and legitimate information about how the show was created and which of the plots and characters names were borrowed from real life. This is no joke. ..
