Kevin, our guide, was amazing. Clearly loved being around the art and architecture. Very knowledgeable and would recommend. Just leave plenty of time to find the ‘Clock’, the Terminal is huge!!

Something we never considered doing in the city even tho we’ve been to the station many times. Kevin was a great guide. A real Irish New Yorker with lots of stories that made you really feel the history and beauty of the station. Finished off with a great lunch at Tartinery. Lovely day!

Kevin is an excellent tour guide and made the tour very enjoyable. We were with a small group and mostly from Long Island and we found it most informative .
