VIDEO: First Look at Bravo's REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW YORK Season 8

The all new season of Bravo Media's "The Real Housewives of New York City" premieres on Wednesday, April 6 at 9pm ET/PT with BETHENNY Frankel, Carole Radziwill, Dorinda Medley, Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan and new housewife-socialite Julianne "Jules" Wainstein. This tumultuous season is marked by the pursuit of love: the ladies who have it are trying to keep it, and the ones who don't are trying to get it. And now for the first time ever viewers can come along for the ride. Check out a sneak peek below!

To kick off the new season, Bravo has partnered with On Location Tours offering fans the ultimate "Real Housewives" experience. Starting Wednesday, April 6, On Location Tours will host bus tours every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, giving riders the chance to relive some of the most memorable moments of the series and get a sneak peek of locations from the upcoming season. The tour begins at Tipsy Parson, which is featured in an upcoming episode and other locations include Beautique, where the popular phrase "What Are You Doing Here Without Dorinda" was coined; Le Cirque, home of the infamous leg toss; and the "Watch What Happens Live" studios, where all the best-kept "Real Housewives" secrets are revealed, and there's much, much more! THE RIDE concludes at Bravo's headquarters, the legendary 30 Rockefeller Plaza, where fans can purchase exclusive "Real Housewives" merchandise newly featured in The Shop at NBC Studios. Tour tickets are available to pre-order now.

It's a season of new beginnings for the women. BETHENNY is officially ready to start dating again while taking her Skinnygirl EMPIRE to the next level, but unexpected health issues threaten to derail her plans. Embracing a new chapter in her life, Ramona is single and ready to mingle-but first she has to sharpen her dating skills. Dorinda continues to grow in her relationship with John but constantly finds herself defending it to others, leaving her torn between her heart and her friends. Carole is enjoying her growing romance with her younger beau, Adam, but needs to come to grips with what their relationship truly means. With her daughter away at boarding school, Sonja is experiencing empty-nest syndrome as she focuses her sights on rebuilding friendships and tackling new business ventures. Recently engaged Luann couldn't be happier with her new relationship, but unsettling rumors surrounding her behavior put her on the outs with most of the ladies. Julianne "Jules" Wainstein is new to the mix, but she's no stranger to mixing things up. With two young kids taking all of her attention, Jules strives to start a business while leaning hard on her husband to be more supportive.
