This tour was for the nerdy urban history enthusiasts like my dad and I. Our tour guide Jeremy was very knowledgeable about the design, history and uses of Grand Central. I'm not sure I'd 100% call the factoids secrets, but they were interesting none-the-less. The hour and a half flew by!

Jeremy was really knowledgeable and the tour was interesting. I particularly enjoyed seeing all the unique aspects of the building, how they have modernized without sacrificing the original beauty/art and seeing behind the scenes. Leave time at the end for a drink in the Campbell Apartment! Would have been better if the guide used the headphones.

Susan that is great advice about the Campbell Apartment. And thank you for your feedback about the headphones. By the new year we are working to make sure that all of our tours are offered hearing assistance. Take care!
