Excellent

Great friendly tour guide, loved the mic’s we wore to hear him (not like the giant headset Mic’s some tour guides use) they were very discreet. Clearly enjoyed his job. :)

Excellent tour. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgable and passionate about Grand Central Terminal. I truly enjoyed his enthusiasm. I am a native New Yorker and occasionally take tours to get a more in depth understanding of things that have changed since I moved away and this tour fit the bill. You should definitely squeeze this into your New York City visit.
