Awesome - Ben R had so much info, and gave me the info I needed and info I didn't know I needed. I was the only one on this time slotted tour and had his completed attention. He was patient with and listened when I spoke.

Súper Nice Experience - My experience on the tour was perfect — a super friendly person and a true gentleman who knew all the areas very well and made a great effort to explain in detail all the views of the building, its surroundings, and the ongoing projects. I recommend him without a second’s hesitation.

Wealth of information - The fully guided VIP Tour is a semi-private tour that provides a wealth of information about the former towers, memorial, the construction of post-911 buildings, and plans for future buildings. We learned so many details about the planning, architecture, construction and emotional elements. Luckily, we had a gorgeous clear day with expansive views. The aerial architectural tour at the top was a great overview of notable locations around the city and surrounding areas. Our guide was local and shared his decades of knowledge and experience. Highly recommend it!

Great visit to One World Observatory - Wow, wow, wow! What an amazing experience! Had tour guide Emma all to myself for well over an hour today and she was simply incredible! Her warmth, friendliness and knowledge of all things New York was absolutely second to none. Engaging, charming and easy to converse with - no question was too dumb and I had the best time at the top of the observatory. I learned so much about the creation, history and expansion of New York (who knew that bridge caissons could be so interesting?) that I can go home happy in the knowledge that I know more than I did 4 days ago. Would throughly recommend a visit to the One World Observatory, even if you don’t manage to get Emma to give you the low-down

Great Guided Tour - Fantastic guided tour. Our tour guide Michael was excellent! He gave us so many facts and historical info not only about the Observatory, but the buildings around it. We recommend this tour in order to get the complete info of the place.

April 2025 Observatory Tour Highly Recommend - The location where to meet is inside 117 West Street. You have to go down the escalator inside the building. When you're at the bottom, let the ticket agents know you're with a Viator Tour. It isn't very clear, adding extra stress when it shouldn't be. Ben was our tour guide. Super energetic and knowledgeable - highly recommend for kids 12 and up. It will keep their attention and is the right amount of time after you've had a chance to take in the site at your own pace, enjoy the cafe while overlooking NYC and the five boroughs—a lovely way to spend the morning or afternoon.

Fantastic Guided tour - Great personal guided tour with Phillip. Once thru security, the tour began with information. Proceeded straight into an elevator with amazing graphics! Stepping into the observation room, Phillip guided us around the full view while pointing out landmarks and providing us with intriguing history about NYC. Highly recommend the VIP tour.

Amazing view from the top - Amazing place to visit while you are in New York City. It’s a beautiful memorial as well. The tour was great and there is a lot of history here too

Meh, they can do better. - I would say it's good to scratch off your bucket list, but that's about it. The best thing is the view of course and that's about it. I did the guided tour and my tour guide was great, but you really don't need the tour. The cafe has ridiculous price. They gave me a $15 voucher as part of my tour and it still wasn't enough to cover the $9 fruit salad and $6.50 water. That's criminal and when I went to go sit down and eat my $9 fruit salad there are no chairs in the cafe. Just insane.
