Great window into the past to understand how GC Terminal(not station) was born and reborn. The building is alive with so many stories to tell!

We thoroughly enjoyed this small group tour with John! There were only 14 of us, so it was easy to stay together and move quickly. The earpieces made it more personal so everyone could hear what was being said. How many times are you on a large group tour, and you can't hear the tour guide half the time? Not on this tour! John was fantastic, full of cool and interesting history about Grand Central Terminal. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know more about this beautiful and historical building.
