Overview

Step back in time to the 1930s as we explore Rockefeller Center, often called a "city within a city." This Art Deco masterpiece will transport you to an era of grandeur and creativity, where we'll uncover the artistic influence of ancient Greece and more modern times. Join your guide to explore the heart of Rock Center. We’ll visit iconic landmarks like Radio City Music Hall and the legendary 30 Rock — home to “Saturday Night Live” — and other renowned spots that define this historic site. The scene here is always changing. In summer, the Channel Gardens are at their most vibrant with seasonal blooms. During Christmas, you can’t miss the opportunity to capture a photo against the famous evergreen — your guide is happy to snap pics for you. At the very end of our tour, you’ll take your included ticket to Top of the Rock and head up over 800 feet to three levels of observatory views. See Manhattan from above with stunning 360-degree views, both inside and out.

Meeting points

Please meet your guide by the statue of Atlas (a Greek god holding a globe on his shoulders) outside of the Rockefeller Center. You’ll find the statue in front of the main entrance to the Rockefeller Building. orange hat or blue jacket with "ExperienceFirst" written on it.

Walking tour of Rockefeller Center

Paul was excellent! Very informative and funny! He quickly made the 6 of us in the tour feel like old friends . Highly recommend Paul Kelly as a tour guide.

Six star experience

Published on Dec, 2024

Can we give 6 stars? Wow, what an awesome experience Paul Kelly gave us! I dont know if it is possible to ask for a certain guide, but if you can: ask for Paul Kelly. You wont regret it! We had so much fun and learned so much about Rockefeller Centre. Thank you again Paul for being our guide. We also had tickets to Top of the Rock included and this is a musthave. The view is very special and spectacular, especially during sunset.

Fun tour

Liam my tour guide is was fantastic. Even though I’ve lived in NYC for years I learned so much about Rockefeller Center. And I also learned things about NYC in general I never knew. I will recommend this tour to others. John Yarbrough
