I am from NYC yet rarely use Grand Central yet I was interested in the tour. John, our tour guide was excellent & his knowledge is next to none. There were seven people in our group which made it easy more to ask questions & go places where you can’t normally go if there are more people. John seems to know everyone which helped us see the hidden stairwell in the information area in the middle of the terminal as well as the tennis courts, yes tennis courts. If you think you know everything about NYC you will & see something new. A great 2 hours spent then ate @ the Oyster Bar.

Hi James, hope you enjoyed your lunch. The Oyster Bar is a great spot and thanks for leaving this amazing review. I like to think John is almost the mayor of Grand Central Terminal at this point. Be well!

Our guide was very informative and also funny at the same time. Found areas of the station we would have never of found or simply just walked past without knowing anything about it. Recommend.
