Very informal the guide was very interesting with lots of historical facts we are glad we did the tour instead of just visiting , one thing I would say is the guide should of had a flag or something we arrived with 10mins before guide started and took 20mins to find

Hi Paul, I'm happy to hear you enjoyed your tour with us at Grand Central. As our guides do check in with us before the tour start we know that AJ was at the meeting location holding an Untapped NY sign. We are sorry you had trouble spotting him. Be well!
