Toured for a mother’s day weekend activity. I have lived in the city for almost 20 years and it was her first time seeing Grand Central - we loved the tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, informative and fun. The whisper room is a must!

As a curious New Yorker, I was amazed and surprised by all that I didn't know about Grand Central Terminal. Our guide was knowledgeable, personable, witty, and patient, treating us to, as the title purports, many secrets about this very special location.
