Rego Park’s ‘Biss Tours’ Goes Bust

• by Jillian Abbott
• Sep 6, 2007

Biss Tours, a Rego Park bus tour company closed its doors for the last time on Friday after 41 years of operation.

The popular local business is thought to have overextended itself following the purchase of Parker Tours a similar bus company operating on Long Island.

The office, located at 62-85 Woodhaven Blvd., was shuttered Tuesday morning. Long-time customers milled outside, comparing notes and wondering how they would get their money back.

“This is a wonderful company. I hate to drive, and I’ve been going on tours with them for 15 years,” one customer from Bayridge, Brooklyn said. He takes 10 to 12 trips per year with the company and had been on a tour last week.

“They didn’t say anything,” he said, conceding that he thought the service hadn’t been up to the usual standards on recent outings. “I didn’t even know the name of the tour guide.”

The man, who asked not to be identified, had booked four additional tours, all paid for in full, and wants to get his money back.

Biss Tours packages ranged from day trips to the Salvador Dali Philadelphia Museum, to 20-day cross country tours.

When Ilese, a customer of 20 years approached the building, the two recognized each other from outings they had been on. They compared letters they received from the company discovering that they were identical, unsigned and simply stated that the company had been forced to go out of business.

“We will not be able to operate any further tours. As soon as we are able to better analyze the entire situation, we will again be in touch with you.” It apologized for the inconvenience and disappointment and thanked customers for their past patronage. The letter was dated Aug. 30 and was unsigned.

Although the owner, Martin Elson, couldn’t be reached, he had told acquaintances that that he had borrowed heavily to finance the purchase of Parker Tours and that he’d lost everything. The company had over 20 employees, who are now forced to look for other work.

According to one man who knows Elson, business began to drop at Parker Tours, which placed financial strain on Biss Tours. Then business at Biss Tours began to drop off.

Ilese is out $495 for the deposit on a trip for two to Branson, Mo. and a further $200 for the deposit for a trip for two to Atlantic City. The Bayridge man had paid $480, the full cost of the Penn Dutch Christmas tour and another trip.

He had already called the city Department of Consumer Affairs, where he was given a reference number. He also called the Better Business Bureau, and planned to take his case to the State Attorney’s General’s office, but held out little hope of anything happening. “They don’t do anything,” he said.

The man had paid by credit card over a month ago so wasn’t confident about a refund. Ilese was more hopeful as she had paid within the last week.

Department of Consumer Affairs spokeswoman, Dina Improta Roskin, said that the department was currently investigating 16 complaints against Biss Tours. They are gathering more information from consumers, including receipts, contracts and other documentation, and will pursue appropriate refunds. “Consumers who purchased a tour with their credit card are urged to contact their credit card company first — and as soon as possible — to dispute the charge.”

She encouraged affected New Yorkers to file a complaint with DCA by calling 311 or going online to www.nyc.gov .consumers. “Please be sure to complete the complaint form and attach any backup documentation.”

Customers outside the Biss Tours building were confused and sad, not angry and already nostalgic for all the years of fun and adventure the company had provided. “I’ll miss them,” Ilese said.

Calls to the company weren’t answered. A message said that due to difficulties all tours were cancelled, but that every effort would be made to resolve financial issues with customers.

Boston has more than 30,000 people of Puerto Rican descent, which makes them the second-most represented group of Latinos in Boston, according to city data.

A new initiative called the BoriCorridor will be putting Puerto Rican art center stage in multiple Northeast cities throughout this year. The project will bring performers from Puerto Rico to Boston for shows at the Arlington Street Church, Emerson College's Semel Theater and Emerson Arts Black Box Theater to give audiences a taste of the island's culture.

This segment aired on April 9, 2024.

I visited the 'Game of Thrones' studio 5 years after the series finale. The $37 tour reminded me why I love the show.

• I recently visited the Game of Thrones Studio Tour in Northern Ireland for $37.
• It offers an exclusive look at the HBO series , which spent millions of dollars on each episode.
• Even five years after the series finale, the studio is still a worthwhile experience for fans. 

It's been five years since the series finale of HBO's "Game of Thrones," but I'm as big a fan as ever.

When a work trip took me to Northern Ireland , I knew I had to detour to the Game of Thrones Studio Tour. By season eight, the HBO drama was spending $15 million per episode , and like any true fan, I wanted a behind-the-scenes look at where some of that money went — and what made the show so visually incredible.

The tour, located in one of the show's original filming locations , Linen Mill Studios, opened in 2022, and standard tickets cost £29.50, or about $37.

I wanted to see just how relevant the studio is today — especially in the lead-up to the new season of the "House of the Dragon" prequel series in June — and if the widespread passion of the fandom is still alive.

It felt like the studio was hidden in plain sight.

There's no onsite parking at the studio, so getting there felt like being escorted to some secret location. Luckily, the instructions were clear: Meet at The Boulevard, a large shopping district in Banbridge, Northern Ireland.

From there, a complimentary shuttle took me down a long, formal-looking driveway. It's easy to see how the studio remained low-key during its filming heyday — it's almost as if it's hidden in plain sight.

My excitement overflowed as I stepped off the bus to blasting theme music and a massive Game of Thrones Studio Tour sign. About 10 other visitors immediately began posing for photographs.

After the 10-minute shuttle ride, it took me a good five minutes to reach security and start the experience, but the atmosphere was already infectious. Even the staff seemed genuinely excited to greet me.

The impressive theming immediately drew me in.

After passing a dragon skull and armored "guard," the tour started with a green-screen photo while we waited for some dramatic doors to swing open.

A tour guide quickly explained the studio rules — mostly, no touching the exhibits (which were used during filming) and absolutely no photos of the pre-tour movie.

I won't spoil too much, but the short film gave me goosebumps. At the end, the screen parted, and we entered the studio from "beyond the wall."

The studio clearly takes immersion seriously.

On the other side of the screen, we were blasted by fog machines before standing toe-to-toe with the Wildlings. Everything was incredibly immersive.

This was one of my favorite rooms. It had elaborate costumes from the show , including coats laden with bones and oysters. I learned that some weighed up to 15 pounds.

I also caught a glimpse of Wun Wun — or, at least, the costume that 7-foot-1 Ian Whyte wore during filming. It supposedly took the actor three to five hours a day to transform into the giant.

It was fun to walk through the different memorable sets.

The studio is made up of a trail of set rooms, including Mess Hall in Castle Black, the Crypts of Winterfell, King's Landing, and the Great Hall of Winterfell.

Costumed mannequins stood in each room to mimic the real scenes from the show.

I learned a lot about the making of the show throughout the tour.

In addition to walking through the sets, I got an insight into the show's creation process.

The 30-foot dragon skull of Balerion the Black Dread took six weeks to make before being shipped to Spain for filming. While standing next to the masterpiece, I could hardly believe that something of its scale could be transported across Europe .

Equally staggering, we learned that the crew went through 52,000 bags of fake snow and 163 tons of propane (for pyrotechnic effects) throughout the series.

Hearing about these intense behind-the-scenes efforts brought the series' magic back to life and made the visit worthwhile for me.

Behind-the-scenes exhibits and interactive experiences made the experience even better.

Other rooms were dedicated to the show's costume design , music creation, and set design. There was even a sword display room that housed famous props like Arya's Needle.

I'd nearly forgotten about the significance of the show's many props before embarking on the tour. But I almost squealed at Jaime Lannister's golden hand.

There were activities throughout the tour, too, including adding your face to the Hall of Faces and creating your own sigil.

I was entranced up until the very end of the experience.

The tour finished at the Iron Throne, a dragon flitting behind the rubble on a digital back wall.

It was a fitting endpoint seeing as it was the location where Jon killed Daenerys, controversially culling her brewing tyranny and ending the series.

I don't think the "Game of Thrones" buzz is going to die down anytime soon.

The studio wasn't packed, but Northern Ireland tends to be a little quieter in February and busier during the Easter holiday and summer. Honestly, I was grateful I missed the heavier crowds.

Overall, the "Game of Thrones" fandom seems to be building momentum rather than slowing down — especially with the second season of "House of the Dragon" looming.

I saw plenty of visitors bringing their children, too, so love for the series seems to be getting passed down to the next generation.

Initially, £29.50 seemed steep to me. But comparably, it's cheap for a studio tour — the Harry Potter Studio Tour in London charges a base price of £53.50.

Plus, I thought it offered great value. It packed so much in and the staff's passion is evident, which makes all the difference for visitors.

Aerosmith announces farewell tour return, new date for Boston concert

Aerosmith announced this week that its “Peace Out” farewell tour is set to resume in September.

The tour went on hiatus last fall and was indefinitely postponed while lead singer Steven Tyler recovered from damaged vocal cords and a fractured larynx.

“Unfortunately, Steven’s vocal injury is more serious than initially thought,” the band wrote in a social media post announcing the postponement. “As a result, all the currently scheduled PEACE OUT shows must be postponed to sometime in 2024, with new dates to be announced as soon as we know more.”

The band will kick off its return to the road with two newly added shows in Pennsylvania, first at the PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh on Sept. 20, followed by a show at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia on Sept. 23. Rockers The Black Crowes are also joining Aerosmith on tour as special guests.

After last year’s New Year’s Eve performance was postponed, Aerosmith’s holiday homecoming stop in Boston will now take place on Dec. 31 at TD Garden, with what is billed as “an electrifying show of Aerosmith’s groundbreaking hits performed in an immersive 360° production as they celebrate 50 years as America’s greatest rock band,” according to a press release.

Guitarist Joe Perry previously promised a return to the road in an interview with the Globe last winter.

“But with any luck we will be back out late summer and fall of 24,” Perry said. “And there’s always next New Year’s Eve! Stay tuned for that.”

Alongside the previously announced tour schedule, Aerosmith plans to make an extra stop in Florida at the Kia Center in Orlando on Feb. 11. The tour wraps with a final set in Buffalo, N.Y. at the KeyBank Center on Feb. 25.

All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the rescheduled shows, and tickets for the rescheduled dates and newly added shows go on sale on Friday at 10 a.m. on ticketmaster.com .
