Our tour of Grand Central Terminal with Richard was absolutely fantastic! As a native New Yorker, Richard brought an incredible depth of knowledge and enthusiasm to the experience. He didn’t just share facts—he wove a compelling storyline that made the history of Grand Central come alive. One of the highlights was his engaging presentation with photos showing how the terminal evolved over time, providing a deeper appreciation for its architectural and historical significance. Throughout the tour, he pointed out hidden details and fascinating features that most people would simply walk past without noticing. The tour was both fun and informative, making it a perfect experience for both visitors and locals alike. If you’re looking for a unique and insightful way to explore Grand Central, I highly recommend taking this tour with Richard!
