Excellent
After I learned about the new Grand Central Terminal tour I knew I needed to make this a part of my visit to New York City. Kelsey at the tour desk was welcoming and introduced me to Sara my guide. Sara was invested in giving all of the group a tour which spoke to their own travel experiences. Our guide was able to move us around inside (and out) the terminal in a way that didn’t interfere with the flow of those transiting the terminal. She ensured everyone from the most enthusiastic to those tagging along with family received enough information to satisfy them. The tour was a great way to start my visit to New York City and led me to book another Walks tour during my visit.

Although I have visited Grand Central many times, the tour gave me information about the station I never knew.
Also, Sara was absolutely terrific.

This tour opened my eyes to so many details about Grand Central Terminal that would never have noticed. Joe, out guide was excellent. He knows his material well and clearly loves sharing his passion for the architecture and history of GCT. He made the experience fun! A great way to spend 90 minutes of a visit to NYC.
