Valerie was SO knowledgeable and I really had a great time on this tour. Everybody gets a headset and reciever to be able to hear what the tour guide is saying...this was the first time I've had that on a tour and I wish every tour had it! Fantastic tour - I will never walk through Rockefeller Center or watch... More

We had purchased combo tickets months ago but were unable to use the last time we were there since we ran out of time. The tickets do not expire for several months and we found if you might not make the tour in time – contact them and they will extend. This tour is by far worth the cost! It... More

The review is spectacular. You're able to walk around both sides of the building and see many of NYs famous land marks. Staff are friendly and helpful and the theatre provides an informative overview of the history.

Our family took the Rockefeller Center tour on March 15th so this review is a bit late. I've hesitated to post because I can't add much substance to what has already been said about this fantastic tour. I can only echo prior comments and mention that the reviews below are glowing for every good reason: the tour is so interesting... More

enjoyed an excellent tour of the Rockefeller Center with Tony. The hour long tour was fullnof details that I would have missed otherwise, and opened my eyes to what a beautiful set of buildings the Rock are. The headsets work well, even on 5th Avenue. recommended.

We took this tour after the Top of the Rock and didn,t regret it for a second . We saw things we wouldn,t have under our own steam and the history was fascinating and the modern stuff re Fox and NBC no less so. Our guide Brad was very knowledgeable and it was wonderful to have a guide with such... More

This tour was included in our New York Pass. We were each given headsets which enables us to hear the guide no matter where you were within the group. The guide was excellent and we learnt many interesting facts as well as quirky ones about the history of the buildings within the Rockefeller Center.

I am not a history buff or an art buff. Also, I had two teenagers with me and wasn't sure if they would enjoy this tour. Was I surprised! Brad was our tour guide and he as great. This tour had many stories about Rockefeller and his wife that it was very entertaining. Also, there were so many details in... More

We had purchased combination tickets for the tour and observation deck in advance and the entrance is listed on the website. The tour went throughout the complex, inside and out, and took over an hour. There were only 8 or 9 people in our group, a good size. The history and scope of this project are immense - the visions... More
