Great tour from start to finish at Track 34! ZZ and Sean were welcoming and as “locals” (NYC and LI) we learned new things about a place we’d each stepped foot in 1000 times, collectively. Highly recommend.

Tour was a great overview of the history of Grand Central Terminal - would love a deeper dive that went into the engineering and visited some of the restricted areas. Tour guide was fantastic.

This was a fun, insightful tour of Grand Central Terminal inside and outside! The fun facts as well as architectural history and features were very interesting and not something you could find all on your own.
It would be nice if the guide could facilitate a picture opportunity at one place along the way.
Note: it is as described, an all walking/standing tour with no opportunity to sit or rest along the way
