Knowledgeable guide, interesting insights into the relationship between GCT and NYC history- the railroad was once much more critical to America than today.

The tour was all good. Would highly recommend it. I have walked through Grand Central Terminal several times admiring the building and finally broke dawn and took the guided tour.
