Your tour begins with early access to the Empire State Building, avoiding the crowds. After exploring the interactive galleries on the first floor, you'll ascend to the 86th floor observatory, New York's highest open-air observation deck with views as far as six states away on a clear day.
During the tour, a local English-speaking guide will accompany you in a small group of up to 20 people, providing historical context, fascinating anecdotes and guidance in identifying the landmarks you'll see from the heights.
The walking tour continues through Midtown Manhattan, including stops at the New York Public Library, charming Bryant Park and elegant 5th Avenue, where you'll learn about the history of its buildings, iconic shops and the famous Diamond District.
If you choose the extended option, the tour culminates at Rockefeller Center, where you'll climb to the Top of the Rock, another of the city's best vantage points. From there, you'll enjoy unparalleled views of Central Park, the Empire State Building and the New York skyline.
It's the perfect end to a tour that combines history, architecture and the best views of New York.
