New York City Midtown Walking Tour and Empire State Building Observatory 90 min

See Midtown Manhattan’s changing skyline on a 90-minute New York City Midtown walking tour that pairs architectural stories with a visit to the Empire State Building observatory. Along the way, admire landmarks such as the Chrysler Building, American Radiator Building, Macy’s, and One Vanderbilt as your local guide points out Beaux-Arts and Art Deco details, hidden features, and the history behind the city’s race to the sky.

Stroll Fifth Avenue and pause in Bryant Park before the walk ends at the Empire State Building. Your included ticket grants access to the 86th-floor observatory, where broad views of the city provide a memorable finale. The tour does not include a guided visit inside the building, leaving you free to take in the observatory at your own pace.

Meet your guide outside the Épicerie Boulud bakery at 1 Vanderbilt Avenue; look for the orange ExperienceFirst hat. Book this New York City Midtown walking tour for a lively introduction to the neighborhood and its iconic skyline.
