This fun audio tour is a great addition to visiting the Empire State Building as you are presented with a detailed map of the facility and a recorded commentary. Your audio tour is provided by a retired New York City taxi cab driver named Tony. Tony will lead you through the city and give you the local's perspective from an audio tape so you can feel like a real New Yorker while your map will help you understand what you see from the tower by showing you points of interest.
