Great tour for visitors or native New Yorkers! I have lived in and around NYC for more than forty years. I commuted into Grand Central for many of those years. I do not remember ever looking up or around the terminal because I was too busy making it into my office on time or running for my train home. John’s tour is all about what I missed seeing, and appreciating, all those years. Whether you are a visitor to NYC or a long-time resident you will greatly enjoy this tour. John takes you to and describes so many historical hidden wonders. His flip book is filled with many historical pictures. If you are a student of architect and historical restoration this is the tour for you. I highly recommend this tour! 
Sherpa4818015/01/2024Entertaining tour of GCT Enthusiastic tour guide John D. took us through the history of Manhattan and the building of Grand Central Terminal. So many interesting details and stories of how this building survived! And lots of historical photos from the tour guide added to the marvel of planning underground train tracks in NYC and the various histories of the spaces included, up to present day, and the restoration.

Kate K3/23/2024Grand Central Exploration My wife and I loved this tour. We learned so much about the history of the various buildings that eventually led to the current Grand Central Terminal. We went back to Campbell Bar after the tour for a drink and tried the Oyster Bar for lunch. Time very well spent in NYC.

Raul S3/21/2024Things you never knew about Grand Central Station The tour of Grand Central is probably one of the favorite tours I’ve ever taken. Our tour guide was terrific and shared so many little insights about the station you would never know. I grew up in New York but left many years ago. When I lived there I passed through Grand Central Station every day on my way to work, so the tour was even more meaningful for me. I would highly recommend this tour to others. 
drmmb3/15/2024 - Excellent tour of an amazing building! Excellent tour of an amazing building! Jonathan did an outstanding job as our tour guide. I had been in Grand Central Terminal previously but did not appreciate its beauty and historical significance until this tour.
James C3/01/2024Thoroughly enjoyable walking tour of Grand Central Station My wife and I know a little about the history of Grand Central and were excited to learn more. Jonathan, our guide, did not disappoint! We make it a point to take a guided tour in any city we visit, and I have to rate this particular one at the very top Jonathan was enthusiastic, hilariously witty, and a wonderful communicator. His love for the subject matter was evident. And indeed we learned so much about this iconic place. While the tour is centered on the magnificent building, we also learned so much we did not know about the Vanderbilts, the guilded age, landmarks preservation, and the importance in history and movies of the 20th Century Limited service to Chicago. For us, this tour was the highlight of our trip to NYC! 
Gerry A3/01/2024 - The Inside Scoop on Historic Icon Lots of behind the scenes and historical background on Grand Central Terminal. John had a wealth of information about and enthusiasm for preserving this icon. 11/2 hours of walking and standing. Be aware there is no seating available in the Terminal.

Pat L2/05/2024 - Tour of Grand Central Thé tour was very good. The guide was prepared and easily found. Our guide Louis was very enthusiastic and got everyone engaged. The ear phones they provided really helped our whole family to hear the guide. It’s a small ear piece that easily attached to your ear. Grand Central is a beautiful station, it’s nice to hear the history.
Mindymarr2/03/2024Grand Central with Richard The tour was great - informative, interactive and fascinating. Grand Central Station just on its own is impressive enough, but learning the history and lesser known facts gave us an even deeper appreciation for it. Richard did a fantastic job!
