An excellent tour around the Grand Central Terminal. Katherine was terrific: very knowledgeable about the whole area and its history and very very good at delivering the information.

Katherine is an amazing tour guide and really made it a terrific experience. She hit it out of the park. I enjoyed the length of the tour because it allowed for lots of questions and discussion without making us feel rushed.

This is an excellent tour and totally worth the price. Our tour guide, Katherine, was friendly, funny and full of valuable insights about the history or Grand Central Terminal. (Seriously, her boss should give her a raise.) My friends and I are from LI and learned so much about a place we’ve been through multiple times. Thanks for an informative and inspiring start to our day in the city! I would definitely take a tour from this company in the future. Bravo!

An absolutely fantastic and interesting time spent around an unbelievable building. So many facts but in such a fun and exciting way - we thoroughly enjoyed every moment, and laughed a lot along the way. You can tell that this is a passion of our tour guide - not just a job - and what a difference that makes. THANK YOU!!! (LizaBanks we love!)

Rob B was a terrific guide—full of great information and insights and gracious and receptive to our (sometimes tricky and nerdy) questions. Our group was small, and we were all New Yorkers so we were a tough crowd to please! Will definitely recommend this tour to my friends.
