I loved seeing the historical pictures of Grand Central. Our Tour Guide JR did a great job telling us about the beginnings and the history of the terminal. There truly were so many secrets and interesting facts I did not know! I highly recommend this tour - especially to anyone who like myself has spent a good part of their life commuting in and out of this station and never giving it a good hard look! It’s a beauty!

We definitely enjoyed learning some of the history of Grand Central Terminal - makes the experience of seeing the building, inside and out, much more meaningful. We also enjoyed our tour guide's sense of humor. A great use of our time in NYC!

Keith so glad you were able to snag a small group for this tour. Although all our group sizes are always kept small, two people is just an amazing and fun experience especially when John is your guide. Thanks for leaving the review. Be well!
