Empire State Building Walking Tour from NYC

Aperçu

Experience the magic of Midtown Manhattan on this walking tour blending history, architecture, and NYC’s vibrant spirit. Marvel at icons like the Chrysler Building, American Radiator Building, Macy’s, and One Vanderbilt as your guide shares stories of the changing NYC skyline.

Midtown NYC is a surprising mix of architectural styles, ranging from Beaux-Arts to Art Deco. Your guide will point out the details of each and even share some of the symbolism and what's hidden inside (like underground tunnels and Winnie the Pooh, as in the case of one turn-of-the-century National Historic Landmark).

Relax in Bryant Park, and stroll Fifth Avenue, as you hear how the "race to the sky" transformed America. The tour ends at the Empire State Building, where your included ticket takes you to the 86th-floor observatory for breathtaking views, a perfect finale to your Midtown NYC adventure.

Kevin the tour guide is very knowledgeable and personable! This is an interesting tour -- we learned a lot about the architecture and history of skyscrapers in NYC. And then the visit to the observation deck of the Empire State Building was phenomenal. I recommend this tour.

The tour guide, Kevin, was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing details about the history, architecture, and hidden gems of some of the city's most famous buildings. The Chrysler Building, with its art deco design and stunning spire, was a highlight. We also learned about the evolution of skyscraper construction, the role of these buildings in shaping the NYC skyline, and how they symbolize the city's ambition and innovation. The tour was informative, engaging, and gave me a deeper appreciation for the architectural wonders of the city. The museum at the Empire State Building and the observation decks were a terrific way to end the tour. Highly recommended for anyone interested in NYC's architectural history.
