We booked for a sunset tour of The Summit. We were a diverse group age-wise ranging from 83-20. It was a wonderful experience for all. The staff was great, understanding that some of our party needed a bit more time when checking in and moving through the viewing rooms. The experience was amazing, it's a completely un-obstructed view of the city. Because of the time slot we booked, we saw the city at sunset and the transition to darkness. Absolutely breathtaking. It's a must see!

Jerry was such a gentleman! He was very patient and took the best photos of us, even getting down on his knee to get the best angles and crossing the street to get the whole church in our photo. He took us to a spot to get coffee and a bagel because we woke up later than intended and didn’t get a chance to get any breakfast on the way to the meeting point. He was absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable!!! He told us so much about the history, architecture, and cool little facts about things like the whispering bricks in grand central station!! We 100000% recommend this tour!! It was so much fun. After the tour he dropped us off at SUMMIT one and it was SUCH an amazing experience WOW best thing we’ve seen in NY hands down!! 6 immersive levels of different atmospheric experiences and tons of photo ops overlooking NYC, included the Empire State Building! Such a better experience in our opinion. Truly a price you just can’t beat especially for the outstanding experience you receive!!! Thank you so much walking tours and jerry! You were so great to us!!!

Katherine was an amazing tour guide! She is passionate and very well versed on NYC art and architecture. She kept my 11 year old son completely engaged, asking him great questions. She was fantastic!

This experience is heavily booked in advance. We knew there was a chance of rain when we visited and it certainly limited our view which was disappointing. We could have changed our tickets for another day but not get a refund.
Despite the poor visibility it’s a great experience with the use of mirrors and other reflective surfaces we had nice cocktail in the bar!
If the weather had been fine it would have been a perfect trip

The view of New York City was breathtaking. I loved the whole place. Every part of it was my favorite. Best place I ever been. I can't wait to go again. Me and my spouse went together. Taking the children next. I would recommend this to anyone in a relationship or with children.

Dear Lucilae2,
Thank u for taking the time to review our tour. We are very sorry you were late on the day of your service and were therefore not able to meet our guide Steve.
It’s always hard for us to leave our guests behind, but unfortunately reservation times got only stricter with Covid, and arriving late might result in the entire group being denied entrance.
Again, we apologise for not meeting your expectation and would be very happy to discuss what happened to you in detail, so please feel free to reach out to us directly at feedback@walks.org at any time.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
