Our guide, John, was knowledgeable, funny and shared so much info plus some personal stories of when he was in the food/hospitality industry they related to the tour. These enriched that information. We learned so much. Being local to the area and having been through Grand Central many times, it was like seeing things through a fresh lens. It was great to learn about the history and details. This was definitely worth the time and money. The whole family said it was the highlight of our day. And that is coming from a 22 year old and a 21 year old.

This was an amazingly informative and fun tour. I've lived in NY for years and didn't know many of these things.

Nothing was that memorable! She never went down to look or discuss trains, subways. It was more about her causes.

Traci, my thanks for leaving a review and I apologize that you did not find our tour memorable. Please note that the tour is not advertised or designed to look at trains or the subway system. We do have a tour devoted entirely to the subway system if you are interested in diving deeper into that topic. But this tour was strictly about Grand Central Terminal as an iconic New York structure and the hidden secrets and places therein. I do wish you could be more specific also when you say our guide's causes? If you have any further feedback, I would love to hear from you at [email protected]. Until then, be well!
