We had a great time on this tour. I have been through Grand Central numerous times but had no idea about any of the interesting history. My 11 and 13 year old were also engaged and interested throughout the tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and it was well-paced.

Grand Central Station is one of the most magnificent and beautiful places in New York City. Majestic best describes it. Entering Grand Central is like stepping back in time. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and fun. If you're interested in beautiful old buildings, this is one tour you don't want to miss.
