Our family of 4 really enjoyed the Grand Central tour. Jonathan was engaging and knowledgeable about the building and history of NYC. He also dealt well with some unexpected guests while we were walking through the public space - very professional. Definitely recommend!

Louis was a great tour guy. He showed us the secrets of grand central. It was great to see there was a tennis court. Also I always wondered how people walk the cat walk. Very informative tour.

Justin has a lot of passion for this historic building and it shows in the way he leads the tour. My husband and I both enjoyed it and learned a lot of new things about GCT.
