- Interesting and informative! AJ did a great job! Very informative. Made the tour both interesting and fun. His knowledge of peripheral minutiae about the terminal and NYC was above and beyond.Greg W9/22/2024Awesome tour! well worth the time! The tour was awesome! Having deep New Amsterdam roots herself, Mandy our guide brought characters and places from 400 years ago back to life. Her modern day insight and deep historical knowledge provided a great perspective and balance of the good and not so good events. Because of the time we spent with her I have a much better understanding of my past and the past we all share because of this little island. Congrats to a job well done by Untapped New York and I would highly recommend their tours. I will make it a point to call on them again when in the area. The problem is which tour is next!Bill T9/20/2024
- NYC’s Irish Roots Tour Went on the NYC’s Irish Roots Tour - had a great time walking around! I'd never heard of the Irish Hunger Memorial, where we started, and while I was familiar with a lot of the history discussed on the tour it was great to have that linked to specific places. Ashley Cathalain, the guide, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.Violeta A9/20/2024
- Central station tour Secrets of the central station was a really cool family experience. We learned a lot . AJ was a great host and very funny and informative. So glad we decided to do this.Mary A9/17/2024Excellent history lesson; would have liked more technical background. AJ was incredibly knowledgeable regarding the history of the NY subway system and enthusiastic in the relaying of this history. It was a most interesting tour.
I am an engineer, and I would have liked to hear more about the workings and construction of the subway itself.Duncan C9/15/2024 - Secrets of Grand Central Terminal Our guide, John, was knowledgable, witty, and entertaining. Definitely an hour and half well spent during our trip to the big Apple!Cheryl A9/14/2024AMAZING INTERESTING tour of Grand Central Station Justin - our tour guide - was AMAZING!!! He was knowledgeable, interesting and super friendly. The tour was fascinating - I wasn’t expecting much but I learned so many cool facts about Grand Central Station. I would highly recommend this tour and Justin as a tour guide!!!Sylvie P9/11/2024
- Excellent Tour! Defiantly do this tour. It was very interesting and we learnt and saw so many things that you would never know on your own. Very informative and our guide was so knowledgeable.Dione T9/09/2024The Guide Made It A Great Experience This tour will give you a much deeper appreciation of Grand Central, especially if you typically just “pass through” on your way to/from a train or subway. Tour leader Laura was personally engaging and outstanding with her depth of knowledge about this building, its secrets and its history, including the development from Grand Central Depot to Grand Central Station to Grand Central Terminal. I’d recommend the tour for tourists and locals alike..Richard K9/07/2024
- Grand Central Station hidden treasures The guided tour of Grand Central Station was amazing. Our tour guide, Jonathan, was engaging and very knowledgeable about the history of this landmark. I have traveled through GCS many times and did not know there were so many hidden treasures. I highly recommend the tour!Margaret G9/05/2024Great tour, great guide and lots of fun If you are at least a little interested in the history of NYC this is a must do. The tour was super interesting and I learned so many things I had no idea about. The guide (Jonathan) was super-fun and super-knowledgeable. Overall a fantastic tour and I will take more tours from Untapped New York.Christopher Z9/05/2024
- Great Tour of Grand Central We had a fantastic tour of Grand Central! Our guide Bob was extremely knowledgeable and was very engaging with our group. We learned so much and it was a very fun tour. We recommend it very highly.Bob M9/04/2024Grand old Grand Central Good coverage of the history of the building and the Carnegie family. Enjoyed the anecdotes from its origins right up to the present and how it was "saved" from being demolished. It is truly a grand old space and attempting to remain relevant.Guide was friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. There is a fair amount of just standing involved so be prepared.Vera P9/04/2024
