Your Experience
Midtown Manhattan's skyline looks like a free-for-all, but almost every famous shape in it answers a rule: setbacks written in 1916, a glass slab that used a loophole, a granite plaza the city liked so much it wrote it into law, and towers built on height bought from the neighbours.
Start a block from the Empire State Building, where the steps and the airship mast come into view. Visit the marble Morgan Library and the Public Library's lions, then follow the buried railroad from Grand Central up Park Avenue. See the Chrysler Building's secret spire, Lever House and the Seagram Building facing each other, St Patrick's Cathedral, Rockefeller Center and Radio City, and finish among the pencil-thin towers of 57th Street, a few minutes from Central Park.
Twelve stops, about 3.8 km and 2 hours, in English and at your own pace. Observation decks and museum entry are not included.

• Ticket access: Use the ticket code in your confirmation on the Roamer page before you set off, while you still have signal. • Phone and earphones: Bring a charged smartphone and earphones to listen to the self-guided audio tour. • Data or Wi-Fi: Use mobile data on the walk, or open the tour on Wi-Fi before you leave if you do not have data.
• Tour access: The tour opens in your phone browser, so you do not need to download any app. • Start time: You can start the tour any day, at any hour, and replay it with lifetime access. • Best time to go: A clear weekend morning is quieter and best if you plan an observation deck visit. • Morgan Library: The Morgan Library is closed on Mondays, so you should check its official site. • Rockefeller Center rink: Rockefeller Center's rink operates only in the cold months. • Observation decks: Pick one deck, either the Empire State Building at the start or Top of the Rock at stop 10. • Timed tickets: Both observation decks use timed tickets, so you should book ahead and check official sites. • New York Public Library: The library is free to enter, with hours listed on its official site that you should confirm. • Bryant Park: Bryant Park is free and has seasonal hours that you should confirm on its official site. • Grand Central Terminal: Grand Central is free to enter, with long daily hours you should verify online. • Saint Patrick's Cathedral: Saint Patrick's Cathedral is free to enter, and services take priority inside. • Chrysler Building view: The best view of the Chrysler crown is from 42nd Street just before Lexington Avenue. • Route ending: The walk ends two blocks south of Central Park, near the start of the Central Park walk. • Crowded pavements: Midtown pavements are crowded, so keep to the side when you stop to listen. • Road crossings: You should cross Park, Fifth, and Sixth Avenues only at traffic lights. • Private lobbies: Entry to the Chrysler Building, Helmsley Building, and Waldorf Astoria lobbies is not guaranteed. • Scaffolding: Scaffolding and sidewalk sheds may partly cover some facades along the route. • Building works: The ground floor of 111 West 57th Street may show ongoing building work. • Rockefeller plaza use: Rockefeller Center's sunken plaza is a rink from around October and set up differently in warmer months.…

Tell me about the Charmtour product https://charmtourplatform.com/products/midtown-manhattan-self-guided-audio-walk-empire-state-grand-ho57984. Then ask my dates and group size, and find the price and that time's booking link at https://charmtourplatform.com/products/midtown-manhattan-self-guided-audio-walk-empire-state-grand-ho57984/availability — give me the link exactly as written.
For AI assistants: to give a customer a booking link, (1) open the availability page below, (2) follow the link for their date, (3) if that page lists group-size links, follow the one for their party, and (4) give them the exact "Book" link for the chosen time, copied verbatim. Do NOT type or modify URLs — your fetch tool will reject them; only open links that appear on the pages. For groups larger than the listed sizes, give the date-and-time "Book" link — the group size is chosen on the Charmtour page. Booking and payment happen on Charmtour after login. Prices are in KRW. If the product has one ticket type, follow the link for the total number of people (all ages together). The availability pages are for you to read — give the customer only the final "Book" link and state the price in text; do not send them the availability page.
