ABOUT THE Midtown Manhattan Walking Tour

This 2.5-hour Midtown walking tour will take you to many of New York’s major landmarks. You will visit the bustling Times Square, and taking in skyscrapers like the Empire State building and Rockefeller Center, this tour will help you tick off many of New York’s must-see sites.

 

Your Midtown Manhattan Walking Tour starts in front of the clock in the main concourse of Grand Central Terminal and finishes by Rockefeller Center.

 

The bright lights of New York City

The flashing billboards and honking yellow taxis of Times Square come to life in this Midtown walking tour of so many of New York’s iconic sites. You’ll take in the famous 42nd Street, as well as finding little bits of refuge from the bustling action with Bryant Park, and even learning about some of the famous speakeasies in 1920s prohibition-era New York.

The sites from the guide books, movies and TV

Whether you’re a fan of pop culture classics like Sex and the City or Gossip Girl, or you’re more of a traditionalist with Breakfast at Tiffany’s or King Kong, the New York Midtown walking tour will bring you many of the sites you’ve seen countless times in film and guide books. Sit on the steps of the New York Public Library, take in the stunning Grand Central terminal, and stroll along Fifth Avenue for the classic New York experience.

The famous skyscrapers of New York

You will likely have already seen New York’s newest skyscraper, the One World Trade building, on our Downtown FREE walking tour, but as you head up to Midtown, you’ll discover even more of New York’s tallest and most famous buildings. You’ll see the Chrysler Building, which was the tallest building in the world when built in 1930, before it was usurped by the Empire State Building when that was built in 1931.

What is a Select Tour?

 

Select Tours focus on a particular area or district of a city, a certain aspect of its history or culture, or take you outside the city on a day trip. Select Tours are perfect for those who have enjoyed an introduction to the city and wish to delve deeper into the stories the city has to offer. These tours often venture further afield and make use of local public transport.

As with the Free Tour, Select Tours are provided by local freelance guides in partnership with SANDEMANs NEW Europe, who bring their personal flair and expert knowledge to these specifically themed tours. Select tours have a fixed ticket price - we recommend purchasing your ticket in advance, either during a Free Tour or online.
