This was a fascinating and vastly enjoyable tour of Grand Central Terminal, and Justin was the consummate tour guide! His deep knowledge of the people and events that have shaped the development of this historic landmark transported us back to a time when train travel was the most modern and exciting way to travel. From the symbology hidden everywhere in plain sight to the backstory of the sculptures and artwork throughout this majestic building, I will never pass through this hall again without feeling like I am now a part of this place! Thank you, Justin, for bringing the past alive, and for sharing your enthusiasm and impressive knowledge with us!

It was my pleasure. I had so much fun myself. It isn't often that I get to lead our Secrets of Grand Central Terminal Tour but when I do it is always such a treat. Hope to see you again soon!
