Join our local guide for a 2.5- hour private tour of New York City's highlights and visit Top of the Rock on your own!
This experience is part of Iconic Insiders, a selection of tours designed for first-time visitors to uncover what matters and get oriented in a new city. Your destination insider is a licensed guide who will offer recommendations and highlight the most visually attractive places of the itinerary.
Our tour starts at Chrysler Building in Lexington Avenue with an introduction to NYC, Midtown neighborhoods, and the city's architecture. We'll then get inside the Grand Central Terminal and pass by the New York Public Library (outside) and Bryant Park. Next, we'll go to the center of Times Square and explore the theater district. We'll walk towards Fifth Avenue where you'll admire some of Manhattan’s most beautiful Art Deco structures, like the Rockefeller building, and Lawrie’s statue of Atlas. On Fifth Avenue, we'll gaze at the world-famous window displays of Saks and visit the Neo-Gothic St Patrick’s Cathedral - the city’s beacon of Catholicism since 1878, standing in contrast to Saks Fifth and Rockefeller Plaza. Heading to Rockefeller Plaza, we'll make a stop at Radio City Music Hall and get in the lobby (if open).
Last but not least, Top of the Rock! Your guide will hand over your tickets and help you to get in line. You'll get in on your own and will have plenty of time to enjoy the views as much as you please.
