Viator needs to change the title of this tour - very misleading in title and description. - Tour guide was excellent. My review is based on the actual description and what you recieve. This tour IS NOT about going into/on top of, viewing from the observatory or otherwise. There is NOT any discussion or showing of any places inside the Rockefeller tower, and while SNL/Other shows are talked about it's summed up here - "These shows are filmed inside the building, which we're not going in, nor on the observatory - let's keep moving with some other facts".
