Must do in NYC

Published on Jan, 2025

Visiting the Empire State Building was an absolutely magical experience! From the moment we stepped inside, we were impressed by the Art Deco elegance of the lobby, which set the stage for an unforgettable journey to the top. The staff was friendly and efficient, making the entire experience seamless. The interactive exhibits on the way up provided fascinating insights into the building’s history, construction, and cultural significance. And then, the views… WOW! Reaching the 86th-floor observatory was nothing short of breathtaking. Seeing the sprawling cityscape of New York from this iconic vantage point was surreal. Word of advice: visit either at sunset or at nighttime! The Empire State Building is a must-visit for anyone coming to NYC. It perfectly blends history, architecture, and stunning views into one unforgettable experience. Would visit again in a heartbeat!

Amazing views

Renita was amazing. She was able to give us an entire tour of the city from the 102nd floor and provided very interesting facts about the city!

The best gift for my girl

Published on Jan, 2025

I brought my grand daughter to New York for her 16th birthday. The last time we were here, we couldn't go up because of the weather. This time she was able to get the full experience. We had the best guide with Ms. Renita. She was taking pictures of my grand daughter and started to sing happy birthday, and everyone on the 103rd floor joined in to sing. I was so amazed at this and my baby started to cry. Ms. Renita was so knowledgeable. It was an awesome time.

Great Empire State Building Visit

Published on Jan, 2025

Renita was very friendly and made our visit so much more special with her personal insights and knowledge. I had never been to the ESB and loved all of the added visuals of construction and historical mementos. I highly recommend both the visit and our guide.
