The Edge City Climb and Manhattan Walking Tour

Overview

Discover the best of Manhattan and see over 20 of New York’s most iconic landmarks, then head up to The Edge Observation Deck – the highest open-air building ascent in the world!

The tour begins on Wall St., the oldest part of Manhattan, where you can experience the bustling district and see iconic sights like Ground Zero and the Charging Bull & Fearless Girl at the New York Stock Exchange. Walk to City Hall for glimpses of the Brooklyn Bridge and famous courthouses.

Next, head to the Five Points, Chinatown, and Little Italy. Learn about their vibrant cultures and get tips on the best local NYC food. We finish the tour near the iconic Flatiron Building.

After the walking tour, prepare yourself to scale the outside of The Edge – the highest sky deck in the Western Hemisphere with views you’ll never forget!

We booked the tour together with the Edge experience, however the tour was extremely rushed with no time to eat, we were taken to a 'dumpling' shop for lunch which was greasy pancakes type good, was disgusting, then rushed onto the next thing. There were 4 people who dropped out for various reasons and 4 were left, a couple walked quickly with the guide, Andrew and he was sharing information with them that we could not hear given he continued to walk. We stopped for a sweet snack and told we could not sit down and taken outside to eat our canolies, however the guide got a free coffee. The most disappointing and stressful time was when the guide ended the tour at 14.36 at the Plaza hotel and informed us that was the end. When we asked about getting to the Edge for our experience, he said 'oh you have to get the train and a bus', this was upsetting given we do not know New York and our tour was in 35 minutes, therefore we had to get a taxi which cost us another £30 dollars. Given the package was a deal and we could not book the experience separately, you would expect the guide to end at the Edge. Very rushed guide, information could not be heard and left abandoned far from where our Edge experience was booked for.
