A Great Tour for Art Deco Fans

Published on Jan, 2025

This walking tour is a mix of outside (60%) and inside (40%) throughout the various Rockefeller buildings. Bracing the winter weather temperatures was well worth it b/c the tour was so fun and interesting! Our tour guide shared interesting historical information while pointing out several art and architectural details on both the exteriors and interiors Rockefeller Plaza buildings that I've not noticed before, in past visits. If you're interested in art history, particularly art deco, this is the tour for you. Highly recommend!

A Wonderful Experience

Published on Jan, 2025

It was a delight. Our guide knew his facts, could point out all sorts of hidden gems. He made it fun!

Tour the Rockefeller Center Campus - Well Worth It!

Published on Nov, 2024

The tour of the Rockefeller Center campus is a must do! If you are fortunate, enjoy the tour led by Jonathan. He is a pro! You will be given an audio set for the duration of the tour and will be walking the "campus". My tour was led by Jonathan. He was fantastic. He is engaging with guests and highlights everything in detail. It made me want to research everthing discussed. Bravo, Jonathan! 20 points for you :)

Very Enjoyable Tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Great tour - guide was very knowledgeable, interesting, and personable. Loved learning about the history of buildings & art.

Tour meets next to the Rainbow Room

Published on Oct, 2024

The meeting point is inside the door immediately next to the Rainbow Room. The Viator instructs that it is between 5th and 6th Streets. This is way too vague! But once you finally find the starting point, the tour is extremely informative about stuff you didn't know that you wanted to know!
