This tour covered everything from the beginnings of this beautiful building to the small black dot on the ceiling. Good history and fun trivia. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and interacted with the entire group. Overall a fun afternoon.

This tour was EXCELLENT. The guide was spectacular. To no surprise, I didn't want the tour to end. I would love to know more about the kinds of trains that have come to and gone out of Grand Central. I would also love to know more about the Pullman Porters, if they were at Grand Central.
