VIP tour from start to finish was wonderful! Rockefeller Center made us feel at home in their lounge with refreshments and cookies. James, our tour guide, is a rock star! With Brazil playing soccer across the Hudson and the Knicks getting ready for game 5, so much electricity, even more so than usual! Thank you for letting my wife and I be your guest!! Tim
We’re thrilled to hear you and your wife had such a fantastic experience! It’s great to know James and the atmosphere made your visit memorable. Thanks for sharing your highlights with us—hope to see you again soon for more exciting moments!
The VIP Tour at Rockefeller Center was absolutely worth it! We entered through the main entrance and were quickly escorted to the exclusive VIP area next door. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. We were offered complimentary drinks, including juice, water, and soda, along with biscotti and Biscoff cookies while we relaxed and waited for our tour time. Our guide, Matthew, introduced himself and immediately made us feel welcome. After watching a short video about Rockefeller Center, he explained what to expect throughout the tour. We were then privately escorted to an elevator, completely bypassing the regular lines. The entire experience felt exclusive and personalized. We never had to wait in line or share an elevator with large groups. Throughout the tour, Matthew shared fascinating history about Rockefeller Center, including details about the artwork, the construction process, and the thousands of workers involved in building it. One of my favorite parts was seeing the historical photos he showed us on his tablet, which really helped bring the stories to life. We also received priority access to the Beam Experience and Skylift, allowing us to take photos without long waits. Matthew went above and beyond by taking both photos and videos for us, making it easy to enjoy the experience without worrying about capturing every moment ourselves. At the end of the tour, we received commemorative pins and stickers, which were a nice bonus in addition to the champagne toast included with the VIP package. From start to finish, the entire experience felt like true VIP treatment. We would absolutely do it again, especially during the busy holiday weekend when skipping the crowds makes the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended! Matthew was a Rock Star !! Thank you for an amazing tour!
