Great
My mom and I enjoyed the tour. It is really amazing how much information, how many stories can be told about Grand Central- a place I've been to many times but never spent too much thought on. Our tour guide was friendly, humorous and engaging.
The tour is 1.5 hours long and there's a lot of walking and standing, so consider that when planning your day. For non-native speakers it might be a bit hard to follow at times, since it is a lot of information. I have already recommended the tour to my coworkers and would happily do it again. Thank you!
