It never fails to impress—whether you want to sit quietly and watch the crowds or admire the luscious flowers and plants in the Channel Garden, against the backdrop of gurgling fountains and the sounds of the city, or if you want to join the ice skaters in winter or the diners under the umbrellas in the plaza in summer, you can do it all. Let your eyes soar up all the Art Deco office buildings and think of New Yorkers’ lives (my daughter’s dentist is in one). Think of all the jobs this giant project gave Depression era workers— and also where they set up the first Rockefeller Center Christmas tree to bring them cheer. Take the tour to the Top of the Rock, book a
ticket for Radio City Music Hall.
You can make your experience as big or private as you like.

Terrific walking tour with Alexis who was very knowledgeable and fun to be with. Lots of interesting facts and observations that you just wouldn't notice walking by yourself. A beautiful complex well worth the visit. Some more specific instructions regarding where to meet the guide would have been helpful but I know that the tour operator is onto that. Would recommend the tour and our guide!

We had Ginny as our tour guide and she was absolutely AMAZING!! She has been a resident of NYC for a long time and is a very knowledgeable historian. She tags along an iPad to show you pics from the past to enhance her storytelling. Super friendly, projects well, and very kind! She also suggested a delicious place to eat nearby that is not touristy—La Bonne Soupe. Highly recommend if you enjoy French cuisine!!

I have an entirely new perspective on Rockefeller Center, despite numerous visits over the years. So many beautiful features that previously went unnoticed. Appreciate the knowledge and enthusiasm of our tour guide, Ginny. My 2nd Untapped Cities tour, and I'm already looking forward to my next one.

Went on this walking tour with Alexis and thoroughly enjoyed it! She was knowledgeable, friendly and interesting. She had pictures to show and lots of great insider tidbits of knowledge that aren’t that well known. She knew her way around the entire complex and pointed out details I had missed in past visits to Rockefeller Center. I highly recommend this tour and give the tour and Alexis two thumbs up.👍🏻👍🏻🗽

There's so much more to Rockefeller Center than you might think. Fascinating to learn the stories behind the artworks, the buildings and the characters involved in creating the area (including people who didn't make way...) A nice mix of features, some large, some small... some very shiny... All revealed by the superbly entertaining and superlatively knowledgeable Justin.
