My first trip to New York City and every one should go up to the top of the rock, the view is fantastic and a good view of the empire State building.

Exceptional views. Get there on a clear NY day. Quite a few different queues, but they move pretty quickly. Worth the money (can do a combo deal with MoMA for $42). A must in New York, even the locals agree.

We took the tour of Rockefeller Center and really enjoyed hearing the history and about the people who built it. We saw works of art and architecture we would never have seen otherwise. Our tour guide, Lindsey, was excellent and a lot of fun. You wear ear phones so you can hear what she is saying even out by the... More

My wife have always loved the variety of magnificent architecture in NYC, and the Rockefeller Center Tour gave us an in-depth look at the art and architecture of Rockefeller Center. Our guide, Rodney, was not only very knowledgeable, but also VERY entertaining and funny. Of all the things we did in our 5 days in NYC, this was our FAVORITE!... More

This is my first trip to NYC. I reviewed Las Vegas a few years ago and I depend on these reviews for my planning. We got the rock pass on the topoftherock web site. We went in the NBC entrance and they lined us line up for the 10:30. Our tour guide was great! There was. About 15 in our... More

Absolutely stunning view, wait time on the day we went was not an issue. Make sure it is on your list of things to do when you visit New York. Also please make sure you have a drink or dinner at the restaurant at the base of the Rockefeller where they ice skating rink is during winter, food is great... More

Did the art and architecture tour with Kate who was funny, knowledgeable and engaging. There is so much there that you would just walk by but having the guide means you don't miss it. The history and info are fabulous and means you cannot miss this. Followed by a trip tp the top of the rock. Like they say, better... More

If you want to learn about the wonderful art and architecture of New York City (and you like taking a trip back into NYC History) then you have to check out this tour, and make sure you ask for Christine! Informative, funny, charming, and a wonderful presence, Christine made this tour one of the highlights of my recent trip to... More
