This tour was outstanding! Our tour guide was John and he was very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the building. So many additional fun facts. He was both professional and witty. He made the tour fun and interesting for all.

Had a great time and learned SO MUCH interesting history about not only the building but also NYC during it's Golden Age. Our guide was very conscientious about accessibility needs in our group and checking in with members who needed a little more time to get from place to place. Would absolutely recommend!
