AJ was the best tour guide! His passion for NY is contagious!! I commuted through GCT for 38 years and never appreciated what a fascinating and special gem it is. I highly recommend this tour, whether you are a first time visitor of the city, or a seasoned New Yorker.

FABULOUS! The enthusiasm of Jim, our tour guide, really made this one of the best tours I have ever taken. He had the kind of enthusiasm that made you feel like, "Here's a guy who loves what he does and he wants visitors to New York to have a great experience in this place." We found out so many interesting little tidbits about Grande Central and thank heavens we were given the special ear pieces so we could all hear Jim perfectly since Grand Central can get loud. Take this tour. For sure. I'm going to look into other tours offered by Untapped since this one was so good.
