Our tour guides were so nice and funny! Made the whole experience a lot more fun than I anticipated! Was nervous at first but, our guides, Brandon and Kay did amazing with calming me down, overall the experience was insane and would recommend it if your thinking about doing it.

If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush and something unique to do in New York. City climb needs to be on your list! Bueno was a great instructor, kept the energy up the entire event. There was about 6 different people to perform safety checks before we went outside, each safety check was marked complete and thorough. Not once did I feel unsafe during this great experience.

An absolute must-do if you live in NYC or are visiting! The climb itself is exhilarating and you are surrounded by amazing views of NYC and the Hudson. I’m not a thrill-seeker by any means and I was very pleased with all the safety precautions and very capable guides. I did the City Climb with coworkers and it turned out to be such a fun and unique bonding experience for all of us! I would highly recommend as a team building activity. We got some incredible photos too. Finishing up with sunset drinks at the observation deck is perfect.

AMAZING experience! I highly recommend it! Our guides, Miguel and Angel, were so friendly and hilarious the whole time. It definitely helped me stay calm and keep my nerve. They also did a MILLION safety checks, and I had no doubt that as scary as it was, we were in no real danger. That said, it was a thrilling experience! And the photos and video came out great--do this if you're at all considering it! A once-in-a-lifetime chance to test your physical courage and take in an amazing view.

I visited City Climb on March 27th and had an amazing experience. My guide was Garody and Angel. They were both very clear with their instructions, ensured me I was safe, and cracked a lot of jokes to make me feel more comfortable throughout the climb. Once I got to the top I did get a little nervous but they bother helped me stay calm and lean over the building, and once I did it the first time it was super easy the second time around. I had an amazing time and will definitely be doing it again.
