Way too fact based for me. There were children on the tour and it was definitely not for them. Needs to be lighter.

Hi Kathleen, I thank you for your candid review of this tour and I’m sorry you felt it was too fact heavy. We will, for sure, take this feedback into consideration moving forward. As you can read from our TripAdvisor/Viator review page, our Secrets of Grand Central has received numerous five stars reviews because it was thorough, fun, and actually enjoyed by quite a few children. This also includes the very tour you were on. Again, I apologize that this wasn’t the case for you. Please email us at [email protected] to learn about further action we can take to make this situation right for you. All best!
