Decided to do a tour during our stay in New York. The Grand Central Terminal tour was very good. Information that was given was very interesting and our guide was very friendly and knew his stuff.

I can’t think of a tour I have enjoyed more than Grand Central Terminal. The tour leader was very talented, knew how to make it entertaining as well as informative. I felt like such an “insider” as we saw areas that are not available to most people. When people ask me about my week long trip to NYC, I find myself telling them facts about GCT.

Excellent tour, with a very informative guide. I do wish he had taken us to more “hidden” areas of the terminal. A lot of what we saw I could have experienced by myself, but the commentary was worth it.
