What a fascinating tour, full of interesting stories and details that the casual eye never sees as they pass through Grand Central. Our guide was wonderful (I am so sorry I can’t recall his name, but he was an actor - our tour date was 6/14 if this helps - he deserves kudos!) He truly entertained us with tales of the history and lore of Grand Central. He was very accommodating to everyone in the group and ensured that we all had a great time and that all questions were answered. Bringing along historical photos also helped to illustrate the back story of the elements of the tour. Highly recommended for anyone visiting - or living - in New York.

The guide AJ was wonderful. He was very friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. We were interested in the Art School there, and he gave us info about that
