Great tour for those interested in how media shapes culture and culture shapes media

This was a great tour to learn about the media landscape that has impacted the entire world. Liz knows her stuff and was a great guide!

C'est très informatif, pas de visite à l'intérieur des sites. juste les facades des buildings

The tour is very interesting but we expected to go inside the buildings, At the end it is a lot of history around the building. It was not interesting for the kids (Teenagers). And only in English as all tours.

Great tour with Christine.

Great tour with Christine. Really good stories and background knowledge around the key landmarks. Made sure the group was comfortable in the heat too!

BREAKING NEWS - This Top Dog Tour was GREAT!

What an interesting and informative tour! Christine was a great guide, taking us to The Hearst Building, The Ed Sullivan Theater, BlackRock and 30 Rock, among others. She was knowledgeable about the early publishing industry and the rise of radio and television in NYC. Highly recommend!
