The Office Fan Tours, Scranton

In front of PA Paper, the building shown in The Office’s opening credits.

Lunch menu at Cooper’s. There was tons of food! I think I ate too much chocolate mousse.

Our group took over a big banquet room! That’s Bobby Ray at the head of the table in the first photo.

Cooper’s handed out pirate hats, which some of our party wore on the bus to the next destination. We should have been singing the theme song to ‘The Flintstones’ at this point, right?

   Nancy (#57) there was only one convention in Fall of 2007. These tours are supposed to raise money for a future convention but I’m not really sure why they haven’t had a 2nd one. I think they’re trying to get the entire cast but that is incredibly difficult. I think a lot of us would be thrilled with a few of the cast, writers and other show staff. The first one was incredibly fun.

   Does Scranton still have The Office festival? I can’t find any information about it. Was there just the one or two? I’d love to go!

   ahh i am the biggest office fan and i would love to go on this tour so much! i would drive hours to get there but i think it’s just that bit too far to come from australia :(
   if anyone remembers in season 2, how jim was going to take a trip to australia when pam was getting married. well i think they should put that in the story line and jim and pam finally go. yayyy! then i could meet them!

   I think the prices did go up, $10 per ticket.

   The Office fan tour is sooooo much fun. Everyone that runs it is super nice and are just as big a fan of the show as anyone on the tour. Lunch at Coopers was amazing, I would go back to Scranton just to eat there again! Probably the best part of the tour was the egg race and the trivia challenge in the limo, both of which I won, and got a sweet Dunder Mifflin t-shirt.

   Went on the tour yesterday (their last of the summer), and it was so much fun! I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The tour guides were very into it, so nice. They even made cupcakes because there were birthdays in the group. It was so worth the eleven hours spent in the car!

   Hey, I am the groom from the wedding on the Aug 1st Scranton tour. Just wanted to say thanks for the great video and pics. We are both huge office fans and this was very unexpected. It made fun conversation at the reception afterwards. Anyway I wanted to throw my E-Mail address out there so you could let us know if you guys are doing anymore office related events.

    My husband and I were also on the tour on 8/1. His voice can plainly be heard giving “play by play” commentary during the first egg race.
    We didn’t know Tanster was recording it!
    We had a fantastic time, and a memorable day. We couldn’t stop smiling!! Bob Vance was so charming and had such a warm personality. Thanks to Tanster for all her great work.

    Great report, tanster! Sounds like a wonderful time was had by all. I especially love the random encounter by the family who just happened to be driving by. How excited they must have been!

    By the way, I think you may have stayed in the same Radisson room that I did for the convention – I have a picture that I took out our window that looks very much like yours! :)

    [from tanster: what a coincidence! wish you could have been there, kenna, you would've had fun. i heard on this trip that the 5th floor of the radisson is haunted. good thing we were on the 6th floor. ;) ]

    I had such a great time on this tour. I can’t believe how amazing and generous the tour guides are. We got to pose with the mustaches from the branch wars episode. Hang out all day with Bob Vance and Tanster. They were both so sweet! (thank you for a great time tanster!) my friend and i drove 6 hours from Boston for this and it was totally worth it. I think we made our money back in how many Yeungling’s they gave us! The lunch at Cooper’s was great too. I am going to recommend this tour to every office fan. It’s worth a trip to Scranton even if you live across the country!

    The tour was wonderful! Definitely worth the price and the 3 hour drive from Connecticut. It was so great to meet Tanster, who was just as excited as all of us to be wandering around Scranton!

    I know I’m not the first to say this, but omg — the bride looks like Angela! When I first saw the photo, this was my train of thought in warp speed: “OMG, Angela came! No, Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration is NOT that short; it’s not Angela. It’s a bride pretending to be Angela! No, it’s just a bride…”

    Very cool, Tanster! I can’t wait to read more about it.

    Stopped by to take a look for you but you were surrounded at the time I thought I saw you at the Steamtown Mall. Happen to live up the road from it, so figured why not.

    Glad you enjoyed Lake Scranton by the way…I have the absolute pleasure of walking 1/4 mile there and running it a few times a week.

    That tour was a lot of fun! It was eventful between the wedding shot and the guy randomly taking the coke out of the trash and drinking it. Hahaha. It was good to finally meet you, Tanster! I’m sorry now that I didn’t come up to you to say hi at the beginning of the tour because I was so shy. Thanks for posing for a pic with me and my buddy!

    Tanster, I hope you and Bobby Ray had a great time! You both were so nice and it was awesome to have met you. I was just as excited to meet you as I was Bob Vance!
