Richard was knowledgeable and the tour was fantastic! We have been to NYC many times and to GCT as well. We learned and saw many things we did not know or had noticed. Fun small group and we used radio devices so we could hear everything Richard was telling us. Highly recommend this tour.

This was my first time visiting Grand Central and I have to say I am so glad that I purchased this tour. John, our tour guide, was nothing short but amazing. He was a wealth of knowledge and truly made you appreciate all the little things in Grand Central that you would otherwise overlook. I appreciated the stories and rich history he taught us about Grand Central Terminal. It allowed me to have a different perspective and truly appreciate the place in all of it's grandeur. 10/10 recommend!
