Hi, I agree that it is disappointing not to see more but as for the "boring basements", for this New Yorker, it was interesting to know that they arranged all major subway lines to come into the basement... perhaps not as important to non-New Yorkers, which I understand.

I'm so sorry, just saw your message. No, it does not include any other part.

We would’ve liked to have done the 90 min tour but it wasn’t available on our timetable. I think it is worth doing the 90 min if you can as it will go to other areas and in more depth. However the 60 min was fine and we saw and learnt lots about this beautiful iconic building. A hidden gem!! Our guide was wonderful and so knowledgable.

It’s mainly on the ground floor and outside so I think it could be adapted to be ADA. You’d just miss seeing the basement and bank vaults.

We did go in the basement. We took the 90 minute tour.

We booked through the only authorised booking company after searching Woolworth Building on the internet and took the 60 minute tour, it is the first one that comes up on Google. Our guide was Bob Gelder who was fantastic, extremely knowledgeable about the building but also terrific regarding the area and surrounding buildings which we looked at after the Woolworth building as we made our way back up town to where were staying. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Yes, there are tons of places to eat within a block or two - you're never far from anything in Manhattan and everything is always open, for the most part.

Alas, the lobby has been closed to the public since 9/11. There is even a sign posted outside the door reading "No Tourists Beyond This Point," a rule aggressively enforced by foul-mouthed security guards. (In happier times, the guards used to hand out descriptive brochures to visitors.) After much pressure from preservationists and the tour industry, the owners have agreed to allow organized tours on a limited basis. They offer a choice of 30-minute ($20), 60-minute ($30) and 90-minute ($45) tours three or four times a week, usually late morning or early afternoon. Search "Woolworth Tours" on Google for schedules and booking info. I know one of the guides they use, definitely a top pro, and he assures me the tours are first-rate. The best deal is the 60-minute tour, which allows time for snapping photos and Q&A with the guide. Custom tours are also available; use the "contact" link on the web site.
