Grand Central Terminal We received a tour of Grand Central Terminal. John was very informative and prepared to give us a nice overview. Being concerned about being able to hear our guide, we were pleased when John handed out ear pieces. So even if we weren’t next to him we didn’t miss any of the information.

Interesting look at the past Very interesting tour of the gilded age mansions on Fifth Ave As a New Yorker, there were bits of info I learned on this tour.

Great tour, highly recommend! Great tour! Really enjoyed our guide and all the commentary he gave, along with the "nuts and bolts" of the history of the building.

A must-do for history lovers Perfect tour if you're interested in the early history of New York, or better: New Amsterdam. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and a real expert. It was a great experience and I highly recommend it.

Great Tour - very interesting. The Tour guide,Mr.Gelber, was excellent - we got a lot of historic information and he showed us also many old photos. Overall,thanks to his knowledge and kindness,the time went very fast - we can recommend this tour in Grand Terminal very much.

Secrets of Govenors' Island Mandy was a great guide who focused on less expected aspects of history during the Governors' Island tour -- we learned a lot! There was some trouble with meeting up due to transportation issues (not her fault) and she was very professional and thoughtful to make sure the group was able to come together & board the ferry without getting lost.

Ellis Island Hard Hat Tour - amazing experience! I went on the Ellis Island Hard Hat Tour and it was amazing!! I would recommend it to everybody who is interested in history.

Great Guilded Age Tour We went on the Guilded Age Mansions tour. Bob Gelber gave a great tour complete with the history of the interpersonal feuds of the time. He was informative, enthusiastic and professional -- he even continued educating us when the tour was interrupted by a sudden rain storm. Highly recommend.

Fantastic tour for locals and tourists alike! My 10 year old and I had a fabulous time uncovering the secrets and incredible history of the subway. I’m a native New Yorker and my son is obsessed with the subway and we both learned so much! Our tour guide’s energy and passion were infectious. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone, even locals.

The tour was very informational. I learned a lot about the history of the nyc subway, and the unique, preserved architecture and tiling in certain stations that I had never noticed before even after living here for 8 years. The hidden city half station at the end of the tour was pretty cool too.

Fun! What a fun time! As a New Yorker, I always love learning more about my city, and this was a really fun way to do that. Super informative, and so fun. John was a great guide!

Our tour guide could be the GC professor with his in-depth knowledge of its history and the building process and tying it into the now. I highly recommend this activity for those interested in the history, architecture, and other in between about NYC.

Fun learning experience Mandy was a perfect guide, as her appreciation for history (of architecture, trains, and sociological attitudes) is vast and enthusiastic. She's fun to listen to, and showed us things off the beaten track (as it were!).

Was a wonderful tour with a really knowledgeable guide. We had a great time!

Great tour for tourists and locals alike Our family (made up of born and raised New Yorkers + family visiting from abroad) enjoyed learning about the history of the subway and art references in various subway stations - we saw details we've missed on our commute. Our guide AJ was extremely knowledgable and friendly!

Great! It was a great learning experience. The guide was so knowledgeable. His love of all things involving trains and transit was infectious.

Another Vanderbilt Masterpiece Excellent and informative 10AM, July 1, tour of Grand Central Station. Breathtaking architecture and history. Great way to begin our tour of Manhattan.

Highly recommend We are native New Yorkers, and really enjoyed this walking tour. John was a great tour guide and the group was small and manageable, makes for a better experience, came away with a lot of little nuggets of information. Definitely make time for a cocktail in the Campbell Bar afterwards. We plan on booking a different tour each year.

Really enjoyed this tour Tour guide was excellent! Really informative and I learned so much. So many fun facts. Highly recommend

Remnants of the World's Fairs - great tour! I took the Remnants of the World's Fairs tour with Justin yesterday. He's a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable, and clearly a huge fan of the World's Fairs site and history. The tour began with an overview of the area history, and touched on some of the political history that led to the Fairs being held in New York. A walk of the grounds led us to many easily-overlooked treasures, and shared trivia tidbits, such as the road-sign plaques, the ancient column gifted by Jordan, and the flagpole eagles. It's not all trivia -- Justin also told us about the major buildings and sculptures, both present and long-gone. He brought along Aaron, who is an expert on the history (and future) of the Pavilion. The tour included entrance into the Queens Museum, where the famous Panorama of the City of New York is.

This tour content is appropriate for all ages; physically it's for anyone who can walk for ~3 hours. I think most of the tour would be wheelchair accessible, though on my tour everyone was walking, and we did cut across grass / uneven surfaces several times. If you use walking aids, definitely check first.
