Empire State Building: ALL ACCESS Private Guided Tour

Ascend New York City's most iconic skyscraper with an expert historian on a fully private, all-access experience. Stand on the legendary 86th-floor open-air observatory and, with top-tier access, reach the exclusive 102nd-floor summit — the highest point in the NYC skyline.

What to expect

Your private expert guide leads you through the Art Deco lobby, sharing the building's storied history before whisking you above the clouds. At the 86th-floor open-air deck, the entire city unfolds 360° around you — Central Park, the Hudson, the bridges, the boroughs. With All Access, a second ascent to the glass-enclosed 102nd floor delivers an unrivalled, intimate summit moment shared with almost no one. The pace is entirely yours.

Good to know

Book the All Access or Premium tier well in advance — these slots sell out fast, especially on clear-weather days. Manhattan cruise terminals (Midtown) are a short 10-minute cab or rideshare to the building. Confirm all-aboard time and allow 3–4 hours for the full experience. Pre-booking direct online is essential.
