This approximately two-hour tour will take you from the pulsating beats of Times Square and Grand Central Terminal to the majesty and tranquility of St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Arguably the world's busiest and most crowded and valuable pieces of real estate, Midtown Manhattan is what most visitors envision when they think of New York City. Home to some of the city's most iconic architecture, from Gothic to Post-Modern and from Beaux-Arts to Art Deco (lots of Art Deco) - it's not difficult to understand why. Behind these massive facades lie fascinating stories just waiting to be unveiled.

Tour Highlights:
Times Square: Start your adventure at the vibrant crossroads of the world. Times Square's bright lights and towering billboards are a sight to behold, making it one of the most photographed spots in the city.
Bryant Park: Take a leisurely stroll through Bryant Park, an urban oasis nestled amidst skyscrapers. Enjoy the lush green space and perhaps catch a glimpse of local artists and performers.
New York Public Library**: Next, we stop outside the New York Public Library, an architectural marvel and a treasure trove of knowledge. Meet Lord Leo and Lady Luxor, the two lions who guard the famous stairs.
Fifth Avenue: See the famous avenue renowned for its upscale shops, historic landmarks, and iconic sights. A shopping paradise and a cultural landmark all rolled into one.
Chrysler Building**: Marvel at the art deco elegance of the Chrysler Building, one of New York's most recognizable skyscrapers. Its distinctive spire makes it a quintessential part of the city's skyline.
MetLife Building: Formerly known as the Pan Am Building, the MetLife Building is another towering structure that epitomizes the architectural grandeur of New York City.
Grand Central Terminal: Step inside the majestic Grand Central Terminal, where the celestial ceiling and opulent architecture will leave you in awe. It's not just a transportation hub but a historic landmark teeming with stories of the past.
Park Avenue: Travel along the iconic Park Avenue, lined with luxurious apartments and renowned corporate headquarters. This avenue is synonymous with affluence and style.
St. Patrick's Cathedral: Visit the magnificent St. Patrick's Cathedral, a stunning example of neo-Gothic architecture. Its serene ambiance and intricate details make it a must-see landmark.
Rockefeller Center: Conclude your tour at Rockefeller Center, a hub of entertainment and culture. Whether it's ice skating in winter or enjoying the panoramic city views from the Top of the Rock, there's something for everyone.
