Updated: May 18

Why Choose a New York City Guided Tour?

When purchasing an attraction pass, customers may choose from numerous attractions, including the Top of the Rock Observation Deck, an open-air viewing deck on the 70th floor , skylifted, where they can imagine soaring above Midtown Manhattan at Rockefeller Center. Enjoying panoramic views of Central Park, the Empire State Building, and beyond—it is perfect for taking photos and viewing sunsets.


Knowing how to plan by having a tour operator or private guide for a tour group with a handicapped member can significantly improve the tour experience for all members of the group, adding lots of fun activities that everyone can enjoy in several ways.


One example is knowing that at the Empire State Building, the sunset viewing times listed below can explain the reason why visitors should plan their visit for the most stunning views, but to catch the sunset, attraction pass holders should plan to arrive at a time when the sun typically sets each month.

It is suggested that the best months and times for viewing the sunset from the Top of the Rock include :

Private Tour Options


A private guide can bring the knowledge of the New York Sunset and adjust the pace of the tour that captures Manhattanhenge.

It is a natural phenomenon that occurs in Manhattan, New York City, when the setting sun aligns perfectly with the east-west streets of the city. This unique event allows viewers to see the sunset framed by the skyscrapers, creating a stunning visual effect, allowing every member of the group, such as those with a handicap, to enjoy that moment too.


A guide or guide assistant can do all the necessary work, ensuring the handicapped member feels comfortable and included. With a private tour, the guide can tailor the experience to accommodate accessibility needs, choosing routes that are wheelchair-friendly or avoiding areas that may be difficult to access, such as high curbs, or the best entrance to arrive at the theater or other attractions. They can also provide extra assistance with mobility, helping navigate obstacles like stairs, ramps, or uneven terrain. Sidewalks, for example, are a challenge. That is why All New York Fun Tours provides a step stool for the SUV tours. Having an extra guide to assist families and groups as the situation may arise is more than a luxury. It is a practical matter.

A private guide allows for breaks when needed, without feeling rushed. They can also adjust the schedule based on energy levels and comfort. Many attractions offer priority entry or special accommodations for guests with disabilities. A knowledgeable guide can arrange these in advance, reducing wait times and improving convenience. The guide can inspire fun with photo challenges to encourage fun selfies at famous spots.

A private guide ensures that all members, including those with disabilities, can fully participate and enjoy the tour. They can provide fun with scavenger hunts as well as music or music lessons, and trivia, testing the memory skills of the tour group. Primarily for fun...but gaining knowledge is valuable.


The private guide can also help with seating options and ensure audio clarity for hearing-impaired guests. Just ask the guide, "Excuse me, I could not hear you. Will you repeat that for me, please?". And of course the guide will respond, and make sure every guest feels involved.


Subways are an adventure.  They may be challenging for tourists unfamiliar with the location of stations with an elevator.

Most notable venues in New York City provide accessibility. For example, Broadway Theaters and behind-the-scenes Tours have accessible seating, and most Broadway theaters have ADA seating as well as ASL and captioning.


For select performances, the Broadway theatres offer ASL interpretation and captioning. The best option is private backstage tours or premium seating with special accessibility accommodations.
