I really enjoyed the tour, our guide was excellent and he I learned a lot I never would have noticed by just walking around and exploring grand central on my own. I feel like the price was a bit high but I was not at all disappointed by the tour.

Great tour. Small group with an excellent guide. He was informative and funny. Headsets were used so it was easy to hear the guide even in a noisy area. I highly recommend the Grand Central Terminal tour and will look for other Walks tours in the future.

Joe, our guide was excellent. He told interesting stories, answered our questions, had a good sense of humor, and was very knowledgeable about Grand Central Terminal. The 1 1/2 hour tour was well worth the time and money.
