Good even for longtime GCT users Knowledgeable guide, interesting insights into the relationship between GCT and NYC history- the railroad was once much more critical to America than today. 
JackM3948/15/2022Great Tour of Grand Central Station This was an amazingly informative and fun tour. I've lived in NY for years and didn't know many of these things. christynicky8/14/2022 - Entertaining and surprising, and totally true! Bob was an informed, engaging tour guide, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. He had photographs and images, as well as very interesting facts. More than once, my jaw dropped at the stories, and little-known details of Grand Central Terminal. We walked into parts of the terminal that I had no idea existed.
I highly recommend this tour! U1345EJmelissap8/10/2022NYC’s Grand Central Station Jeremy Wilcox is your go to Grand Central tour guide. He was all you want in a tour guide. Professional, competent and extremely informative of every detail related to this marvelous train terminal. If you want a much deeper appreciation of this iconic landmark and how it connects to NYC and the nation at large I would Highly recommend Jeremy! Safe travels! BILLYGOATTRAVELLER8/09/2022 -
A Good use of time Great tour - interesting to hear the background behind the building and stories surrounding it. A good use of time. I was (perhaps erroneously) expecting to see a bit more "behind the scenes", but the tour is limited to areas open to the public. Tour guide was fantastic. Rynnis8/07/2022Native New Yorker wowed by this excursion Richard, our guide, was articulate, enthusiastic and professional. Despite wiltingly hot temperatures, he kept things moving along in a timely way. He held our attention as he recounted interesting facts and anecdotes about the glorious "gilded mansions of Fifth Ave". I might even do this same tour again as there was so much to learn and appreciate. Stefanie S8/07/2022 - Remnants of the World's Fair We had such a great time on this tour of the Remnants of the World's Fair. Justin was very informative and such a great tour guide. Learned so many new and interesting things. I highly recommend this tour. Joycelouise5128/07/2022Sweet spot The tour guide hit that sweet spot between all facts and over-the-top entertainment. Appreciated all the history that we would not have known without the tour. And he memorized every person’s name 🙂 Highly recommended! jameslG1928QK8/07/2022

While Justin didn’t come for the tour, the guide was amazing with a passion towards subways and metro systems across the globe. He was funny and witty. I enjoyed the tour and learned new things about the NYC subway system. I will definitely recommend
Danish8/06/2022This was such an interesting and informational tour! Our tour guide, Rain, was very passionate about sharing the secrets and history. He was kind, witty, and inclusive of all attendees. I enjoyed learning about Old City Hall and getting a quick glimpse! If you’re fascinated by the NYC subway system this is the perfect experience for you. I highly recommend this tour!
Jennifer8/06/2022 - So interesting Had a great time on this tour learning all about Grand Central Terminal. This company was well organized and a pleasure to deal with. Would use them again the next time I'm in NYC. wendaroolie8/06/2022Grand 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. NYtraveler20037/29/2022
- 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. 246judil7/26/2022Great 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. AlyssaYTerrapin7/24/2022
- 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. 319MarcoS7/24/2022Great Tour - very interesting.

- Great tour! Rayn knows so much. It's really incredible to learn about all the history and details that you miss every day in the subways!
Max H7/20/2022Secrets 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. Violeta A7/18/2022 - 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. AnneBoletteKK7/17/2022Great 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. E4599EOwendyg7/17/2022
