Our guide Richard was outstanding! Super knowledgeable, courteous and wasn't rushing our small group thru the tour. I highly recommend this tour if you are a history buff!

Alexis was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and fun! I learned many things on this tour. The art was phenomenal, the details about all of the buildings that were designed so meticulously and of course the tree was fabulous! I highly recommend this tour. Just a little hint, pay attention to what your favorite part was 😉. Thanks Alexis! We had a great time with you!!

Alexis was pleasant and well-informed. I’ve been through Rockefeller Center many, many times, and yet I didn’t know most of what she told us. L
