Rockefeller Center Walking Tour With Top of the Rock

Aperçu
Step back in time to the 1930s as we explore Rockefeller Center, often called a "city within a city." This Art Deco masterpiece will transport you to an era of grandeur and creativity, where we'll uncover the artistic influence of ancient Greece and more modern times.

Join your guide to explore the heart of Rock Center. We’ll visit iconic landmarks like Radio City Music Hall and the legendary 30 Rock — home to “Saturday Night Live” — and other renowned spots that define this historic site.

The scene here is always changing. In summer, the Channel Gardens are at their most vibrant with seasonal blooms. During Christmas, you can’t miss the opportunity to capture a photo against the famous evergreen — your guide is happy to snap pics for you.

At the very end of our tour, you’ll take your included ticket to Top of the Rock and head up over 800 feet to three levels of observatory views. See Manhattan from above with stunning 360-degree views, both inside and out.

Liam’s tour was really excellent, with a focus on the social, architectural and artistic aspects of the Rockefeller Center. He was friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining - highly recommended. The only problem (not Liam’s fault) was that the tour description was completely misleading because the ticket did NOT include going up to the “top of the Rock” building, which I then had to buy and time separately. Hopefully this inaccuracy will now be rectified by Viator.

Thank you so much for your feedback. You're 100% correct, it was an issue with Viator and how it was set up. We offer two options, with and without the Top of the Rock tickets. Be sure to read which one you book - and you'll be good! We're glad that you still enjoyed the tour with Liam - he's GREAT! We hope that you choose ExperienceFirst again.

A quick tour of the campus of Rockefeller Center which is a gem 💎 for anyone who is a fan of art deco of this period. There’s a lot to see in the center of the Golden Age of Radio . I particularly enjoyed the channel garden and the history of the fist tree. Again the friezes and sculpture display a craftsmanship of a very high caliber where no expense was soared. Going to the Top of the Rock was a plus!
