Fantastic relaxed tour with the earpieces which made it really easy to hear everything. The host was very friendly and easygoing. A great experience

The tour was very interesting, and the guide very knowledgeable. We were interested throughout, and didn’t even notice the time passing by.

Our tour guide was Katherine - she did a phenomenal job explaining everything & pointing out little things we would’ve missed on our own. She made us laugh & kept the whole group engaged. She also shared personal tidbits about things she’s done by herself & with her family. <br />Highly recommend this tour! You’ll be lucky with any guide but Katherine truly made it the best experience for our family!

Leo and Kiki were both lovely and very helpful. Leo not only provided interesting historic information about GCT but also the history of NYC, the surrounding buildings, and even Penn Station. I have already recommended the tour to my daughter who lives here.

Our guide, Catherine, was great. Lots of information. Very personable. Didn’t walk too fast for us “older folks”. Really enjoyed the tour
