Top of the world experience
We had an amazing experience with the best tour guide Renita. The experience is amazing and a must for eveyone wanting to see the city! What a special experience. We watched Renita coach a little girl to the glass in such a sweet kind voice! Just a lovely human!

Help from the Hailen, member of security controls in the Empire State Building.
Our pass didn't work when we tried to enter in the Empire State Building. In fact, we were in the wrong place for the rendez-vous with the guide. We would like to thanks very much Hailen which is an employee from the Empire State Building : She kindly helped us to meet the guide and saved our entry. She was very competent and helpful. Many thanks !!

Lots of walking and heights. I am scared of heights but I had no issues going up to the 102nd floor.

Amazing!
The most memorable experience on our vip tour with Hugo our guide, who made it fun as well as full of facts about the amazing history of the building. Well worth the extra cost. And a big thank you to Renita who went the extra mile to see us down to the bottom. Couldn’t praise them both enough!

A Must!
We went on the extended tour which included the 86th and 102nd floors. It is pretty neat to see the 102nd floor view, but if you are pressed for time or scared of tippy top heights (you're inside for the 102nd, and can go both outside or stay inside for the 86th) you won't be disappointed with just the 86th floor. It's like a museum tour along the way, where there are many displays that you can read to learn more. This was not a guided tour for us, and we still really enjoyed it. It was clean, well organized, and we got some incredible photos! I think it might be coolest to see this before sunrise or as it's getting dark so you have some light in the sky while the building lights are coming on! We went in the middle of the day, and it was super-windy on the 86th floor, so just be prepared!

Great way to end our trip!
The staff were incredible and very helpful. The VIP experience was incredible & worth the time! The Guest Services Specialist, Devin, was checking on customers and staff throughout my whole visit. It was obvious that he is very respected at his job. There is a very lively, but chill vibe at the ESB at night. The view was amazing and I was able to spend over an hour experiencing the ESB!

Pour tourisme de masse
Je parle ici de la visite du 86e et 102e étage, s’agissant d’une tour iconique, emblématique de New-York et de toute une époque, bâtiment Art Déco, il est tout de même dommage d’accéder aux lieux par une entrée qui ne reflète pas cet esprit, les couloirs sont absolument sans âme, animation visuelle au plafond de l’ascenseur entre le rez-de-chaussée et le 86e (ascension très rapide et imperceptible), comme s’il fallait absolument distraire le chaland pour qu’il ne s’ennuie pas dans l’ascenseur ; évidemment le panorama est impressionnant aussi bien au 86e qu’au 102e, petit frisson supplémentaire au 102e bien évidemment car on est à l’extérieur et la vue est à 360 degré comme on dit … ça se fait une fois, à aucun moment on ne peut se dire « je suis sur l’Empire State Building et nulle part ailleurs »; D’ailleurs quand on se dirige vers la tour avant d’y entrer, vous ne la voyez jamais vraiment dans son ensemble , vous n’avez à aucun moment suffisamment de recul. Pour conclure, visite sans personnalité ni grand intérêt, mais un 3 sur 5 tout de même car il s’agit du célèbre et unique Empire State Building

The Real Miracle on 34th!!!!!!!!
Verry, verry, beautiful view. Ticket prices were fare. It wasn't too packed. It was so fun, and wonderful, great to visit. Everyone was so kind, polite, and professional. Just want to give some special rec. to Chris V, from the gift shop, who not only helped me check out and wrap up my stuff very well, but also was a great help in recommending some great food places where we were heading next. Another thanks to the tall elevator worker, I didn't catch his name, but he did help keep my family together so that we weren't separated in different elevators. Thank you all!!!!!!!!!!!

The Empire State Building
Another bucket listing item. We went at 7pm on a Friday night and virtually no crowds. Bought tickets at counter. Others had suggested that paying extra for floor 102 was a bit of a waste and expensive. Not cheap to get yo 86 floor. Museum style items on way up and the video of building the structure on elevator roof as you want up was a great novelty. Loved the King Kong and other famous movies section Views are spectacular at night. I imagine you see more in daylight. So try for sunset to get both world but friends have said lines at busy times can be a hour.

Overpriced and Drawnout
Way overpriced and drawn out, if you must see the Empire State Building view then go for it… but once was enough for me.

Thank you Renita, what an amazing tour!
The iconic, wonderful Empire State Building, surely one of the most (if not THE most) recognisable silhouette. Not "only" an engineering masterpiece so many years ahead of its time, but also an Art Deco treasure, the likes of which we're unlikely to see again. It's a treasure. My wife and I have been on the (excellent) tour previously, but for our 30th Anniversary, we booked ourselves onto the VIP Tour as a special treat. It totally lived up to billing, with our amazing (actually Empire State legendary) host, Renita (my wife's name is Renata, so everyone hit it off right from the get go!). What an amazing lady, she did not leave a stone unturned during what was such a detailed tour. We got to look "behind the scenes" which, as an Engineer, was a sublime experience that I certainly wasn't presumptuous enough to expect. (Special thanks also to Mr Dailey, Director of Engineering, for his very generous time during our visit, which was very much appreciated). Of course, the headliner 102nd floor Viewing Gallery, Champagne reception, a photographic meeting with a certain King Kong were all wonderful as well. Above all, Renita made us feel most welcome, we really did get the "red carpet treatment". Again, my most heartfelt thanks to her. I would sincerely recommend the tour to anyone who loves this building and wanting to go the extra mile. It's not cheap but is worth every cent.

A must see experience
We visited the Empire State Building in July and decided to splurge on the express pass — absolutely worth it! The Saturday morning crowds were huge, and skipping the long lines made our visit so much smoother. The views from both the 86th and 102nd floors were spectacular. It was a hot and clear morning, with just a touch of haze that added a dreamy quality to the skyline. All of the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. A must-do experience for anyone visiting New York!

Affascinante
Il fascino dell’Empire si percepisce già all’ingresso dell’edificio. Protagonista di numerosi film di successo, rievocate in modo direi elegante, oltre alla ricostruzione fotografica degli stati di avanzamento del palazzo… oltre al panorama … vedi tutta New York! Consigliato!
