I grew up in NYC and traveled to/thru GCT for many years. Still was able to learn quite a bit from this tour. Highly recommend it to both native New Yorkers and all visitors. Excellent historical tour

Allan, this is always my favorite kind of review. The New Yorker who still can learn new things about an NYC icon. Thank you for joining us and glad you enjoyed your experience.

I just wanted to say that AJ delivered a fantastic tour about Grand Central Station - he is upbeat, extremely knowledgeable, funny and kept us moving at a perfect pace. The historical photos of the station and many back stories were fascinating. Would definitely sign up for another tour with him. There were so many incredible details about Grand Central Station I had not known. Would recommend highly.
