Our book club just finished a book whose setting was Grand Central Station. So we decided to take a tour. It was very easy to book our tour online. We opted for a private tour and we loved it. Alison was very knowledgeable and personable. She showed us lots of "secrets" and then some! We would definitely recommend taking this tour.

Our group of 8 really enjoyed our tour with Mandy. She was knowledgeable across the board with history, facts and snippets of NY. Her energy was contagious and our time with her FLEW by! I highly recommend this tour! And Mandy!

Running through GST to catch a train won’t give you an appreciation of this amazing building and the important history behind it. Take Untapped Cities “Secrets of Grand Central Terminal” tour to take a slow and considered visit with guides who really know their material. Unfortunately, due to security concerns, the truly secret places can no longer be visited by the general public, but the guides have the photos and the back-stories to give you a flavor of magnitude of the building’s unique and fascinating history and use.
