About this tour

Take in New York’s skyline from the observation decks of Top of the Rock, then explore Rockefeller Center with a private licensed guide. Skip-the-line tickets let you enter at your booked time, while the views stretch across Manhattan toward the Empire State Building.

Choose a 2-hour visit focused on Rockefeller Center and Top of the Rock, or select a longer option to add Central Manhattan sights such as Times Square and Broadway. The 3-hour option pairs the walk with your observation-deck visit; the 4.5-hour option also includes private transfers to and from your accommodation. A 3.5-hour option combines the Top of the Rock tour with transfers. The number of attractions and included services depends on your selection.

Your New York Top of the Rock private tour meets at the Atlas sculpture at Rockefeller Plaza. Transfers use a sedan for groups of up to four and a larger vehicle for groups of five or more. Arrive on time for your timed entry and allow for mandatory security screening. Choose the option that suits your plans and see the city from a memorable new perspective.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
