Discover this 22-acre “city within a city” with our guided tour of Rockefeller Center. Led by your local guide, you’ll discover the art, history, architecture, culture, and modern treasures of this iconic complex. One of our first stops is the magnificent St. Patrick’s Cathedral, a neo-Gothic masterpiece that stands as America’s largest Roman Catholic cathedral. You’ll also explore the symbolism and artistry scattered throughout Rockefeller Center, including the famous Atlas statue and the intricate bronze figures adorning various buildings. Your guide will shed light on the Greek and Art Deco influences that shape the center’s aesthetic. Stroll through the picturesque Channel Gardens, which change with the seasons, and past the towering 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The center plays a big role in pop culture, from its annual Christmas tree tradition to its spotlight in a number of TV shows. The tour also includes stops at places like FAO Schwarz, Christie’s, and the historic Radio City Music Hall, offering a blend of old and new here in New York. Your ticket also includes access to Top of the Rock. After bidding farewell to your guide, you’ll ascend to this spectacular observatory.
