This tour was fabulous. Colin, the guide, was friendly, enthusiastic, and informative. I’m in NY frequently, visit Grand Central Terminal often and knew some of its history. Nevertheless, I learned a lot and explored areas I’d never seen.

The quality of the grand central station tour is amazing. Our guide had good pace and a lovely voice which made him easy to listen to. The tour is more than worth the money for its length and information not found on the internet.
