Elevate to New Heights in The Big Apple
When it comes to iconic New York City landmarks, the Empire State Building stands tall as a must-see. Our Fully Guided Empire State Building Highlights Tour offers an exclusive experience that begins with Early Access, ensuring you bypass the crowds and enjoy a serene start to your adventure.
Your trip to the top begins in the art-deco splendor of the building’s lobby, from where a high-speed elevator propels you to the 86th-floor observatory. Here, youll be greeted by awe-inspiring 360-degree views that stretch across Manhattan, its boroughs, and as far as five different states.
Accompanied by a small group of no more than 15 people, your expert local guide will provide enriching commentary throughout your visit. From identifying landmarks to sharing fascinating anecdotes about the Empire State Building’s storied past, your guide ensures you won’t miss a detail. The experience is not just about the views; it’s about understanding what you’re seeing and the context that makes this building a national treasure.
The adventure continues on the 80th floor at the Dare to Dream Exhibit, where the history of the building’s rapid construction is brought to life. Here, you’ll learn about the remarkable engineering feats and the dedication that went into completing the skyscraper.
