AMAZING Experience! Could not have been better!

We scheduled this tour for 2025, but had a medical emergency, so we could not use our tickets. I can’t tell you how kind and professional the folks at the Empire State Building 🌆🦍🌅☕️ Starbucks reserve tour ended up being! I was told that we could reschedule and also told the timeframe to call back and everything went so smoothly! I really didn’t think it was going to work out, because I had booked the first tour a year in advance and I knew how hard it is to get tickets! The ESB team is seriously awesome! The only thing that might have been more helpful was having a sign posted to tell folks where the entrance is for the early morning tour. There were several of us milling around at 5:30 in the morning, kind of unclear. 🙃 The sunrise over the city was one of the most exciting and memorable moments of any place that we’ve ever been! All of the staff was so kind and professional and international! My husband actually left his phone when we were in the Empire State Building 🌆🦍🌅☕️ museum, enjoying the King Kong exhibit before we left, but he left his phone (we were pretty tired from getting up so early!) I called as soon as we got back to the hotel (the phone tracking said ESB), and sure enough, they had his phone and I was able to get a cab back and retrieve it, pretty much miraculous! We are extremely thankful! The Starbucks staff and the food were exceptional. And the ESB staff went above and beyond and one very kind young man offered to take our picture! One of the best photos of our 8 State trip! Don’t miss this tour! Seeing New York City glowing at night and also seeing it glowing in the sunrise, was priceless!!

Sunset at Empire State Building

I had a voucher for my birthday from my daughter to visit the Emoire State building. The day she had booked was very rainy and cloudy day. Went to the ticket person. Her name was Sharon and she gave us the best advise and happily changed our tickets for the next day which was a beautiful sunny day. She was so chatty and showed us the pictures etc. the best visit for me as we saw the view on a clear sunny day and enjoyed the sunset view. Thank you Sharon.

Operator response
