On this almost 2 hour tour, we learned about the history of grand central from the beginning, the architecture and materials used, and stories associated with the terminal. Our guide, Martin, was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the information he was sharing. He presented historical photos to share also. It was a very interesting and enjoyable tour.

Martin was a wonderfully informative guide, full of secret facts about Grand Central Terminal. We appreciated that he got up early just to tour two of us around the station. We learned a lot! Well done!
