About this tour
Unlike a typical Empire State Building visit, this experience lets you discover the city before seeing it from above. Beginning in the historic Flatiron District, you’ll explore Midtown Manhattan with an expert guide as New York’s history, architecture, and hidden stories unfold around you. From iconic Fifth Avenue landmarks and Madison Square Park to the vibrant energy of Koreatown and Herald Square, every stop adds new perspective to the skyline surrounding you.
The experience culminates with reserved access to the Empire State Building Observatory, where sweeping 360-degree views across New York City bring the entire journey together from one of the world’s most iconic viewpoints.
