Whats the difference between the regular ticket and Premium Experience? Premium states guided tour that include Lobby, Celebrity walk, and exhibits. Are these things you don't get to see besides exhibits?

There are things in the Premium Experience that you don't get to see in the regular ticket, but the biggest difference is that you get your own private tour guide the whole way. They do a max of 7 people per tour, and our family of 5 was all alone with our one tour guide. She knew everything about ESB and had the most valuable insight and interesting stories. Plus, you get to skip the line for everything. If you can afford it, do the Premium Experience and hopefully you get Renita for your guide. It was worth every penny, especially if you have other plans that day
If I buy a ticket for 4:30 and its more expensive due to sunset - is it guaranteed I will see the sunset? I hate to pay more and miss because of waiting in a line. Also - do they allow strollers?
A:
4:30 is a bit late - it’s takes a little while to get to the top once you’re in the building I had 3:45 tickets on 12 Nov - sunset was 4:45 that day. Arrived 3:35, was at the 86th floor at 4:10. …
4:30 is a bit late - it’s takes a little while to get to the top once you’re in the building I had 3:45 tickets on 12 Nov - sunset was 4:45 that day. Arrived 3:35, was at the 86th floor at 4:10. Got to see the city in the daylight, then a spectacular sunset, then the city all lit up. Highly recommend doing it this way (but adjust times according to current sunset time)
