We received a tour of Grand Central Terminal. John was very informative and prepared to give us a nice overview. Being concerned about being able to hear our guide, we were pleased when John handed out ear pieces. So even if we weren’t next to him we didn’t miss any of the information.

The tour was rich in history and art which was exactly what we were looking for. The length of it was spot-on. The Grand Terminal was a grand vision and an engineering marvel.
