Walking Tour of Manhattan's Tallest Buildings

New York is first and foremost about skyscrapers. And of course, if you find yourself in the Empire State, you can't miss out on tours of them.

Join American Butler on an exhilarating tour of New York's most famous skyscrapers. From the Empire State Building to One World Trade Center, our tour will unveil the secrets of architectural masterpieces that define the city's skyline.

What You Will See

A tour of New York's skyscrapers, as we've mentioned, is an essential part of visiting the city. Each of the giant buildings is uniquely beautiful, but we will tell you about the top five of the best, seeing which you can understand the character of New York.

• Chrysler Building
  Undoubtedly the most beautiful skyscraper in the city. Not the tallest, but incredibly decorated and eye-catching. This building has been named Americans' favorite among all the country's skyscrapers. It was constructed as the headquarters for the Chrysler Corporation. The decor was chosen in the style of the company's flagship model at the time mixed with Art Deco. The sleek steel "crown" at its spire is decorated with a pattern of wheel rims, and the corners are adorned with steel eagles and gargoyles. Combined with terracotta and marble, the sensation is truly like that of a premium car, only better.
• Empire State Building
  Initially built purely for bragging rights, it has since survived a host of iconic events and has become an unofficial symbol of New York. Meet the handsome Empire State. It was struck by a military plane, endured almost complete emptiness, saw brokers who had gone bankrupt during the Great Depression jumping from it, and better not to remember what King Kong did to it in the movies. Despite this, today it houses all the top media companies in the USA and still shines with the gloss of a true stately New Yorker. Isn't that a success?
• Flatiron Building
  Perhaps another tenderly loved object not only by Americans but also by travelers. The Flatiron Building is a freak among skyscrapers. It has only 22 floors, but what floors! Triangular! In its time, the building made a lot of noise, ruining the self-esteem of its owner —it became much more famous than his company and his surname. Its shape still boggles the mind to many; from some angles, the building appears absolutely flat. And if you try to walk around it and approach the corner, the wind might knock you off your feet. The Flatiron Building has many fun stories and little secrets.
• Rockefeller Center
  The Rockefeller family is known to all, very wealthy people, far from us, the earthly. But it is here, in the buildings of Rockefeller Center, that you feel close to them. Or rather, a sense of self-importance grows to the heavens. Essentially, it's a huge commercial complex that has everything. Absolutely everything, from an ice rink and sock stores to TV studios and its own subway station. But most importantly, it has an observation deck with a crazy view of the city. Stepping into Rockefeller Center, you feel life at 100%.
• Woolworth Building
  Unfortunately, you can't go inside, but honestly, it's not that necessary — the façade is where all the charm lies. Pure neo-Gothic, the finest detailing of elements. Against modern "glass boxes," the building looks even more majestic. And its history is motivating: its first owner saved for construction by stacking towers of penny coins. You should see the Woolworth Building at least once to understand that anything is possible with desire — even turning your savings into something grand.
