We really enjoyed our tour. Martin was engaging and very knowledgeable and gave interesting information and history about Grand Central that added to our visit to this beautiful New York structure. He was also accommodating; it a chilly night and he made sure that we were all comfortable with the weather while we viewed the exterior of the building. With the small group of four, he was able to hear and answer all of our questions. The tour had a good flow and we would recommend it to friends.

The guide was knowledgeable and passionate about Grand Central Terminal. Very interesting tour. We learned that the recent extension to the Long Island Rail required digging down 180 feet (15 stories). Beautiful terminal and part of New York history.

It was a brisk February morning when myself and my friend met Martin promptly at the planned time. He came with notes and illustrations to assist us in envisioning the historical figures he described and established a comprehensive foundation for Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, the Vanderbilt family, and the history of the company that later developed the different iterations of Grand Central. He also described the evolution of Manhattan that created the environment necessitating the terminal. He subsequently led us through the expected areas both inside and outside the terminal building. He gave us solid history, plenty of exterior architectural and structural details, and some trivia throughout his tour. The aesthetic details were of particular interest to my friend, Martin shared what he knew and acknowledged some things he didn’t know. Our party gleaned some of those details, specifically on decorative features, when we overheard another tour…. Martin was thoughtful, courteous, forthcoming, and knowledgeable. Neither of us was unsatisfied by the experience or with Martin, but we would have liked more information on the aesthetics of the elegant interior and more time for photos. Even so we consider this tour a great value!
