- Thoroughly 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.Natalie H2/26/2024
- Touring in Grand Central John was knowledgeable, funny and very easy to engage with! I saw so many new things, even though I’ve been to GCT hundreds of times. The time flew by!Jennifer L2/21/2024Informative, entertaining and accessible! Absolutely loved this walking tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable and entertaining, the time flew. We especially appreciated that there were ear pieces so we could hear and that the tour was accessible (ramps and elevators vs lots of stairs). I’d highly recommend for tourists or native New Yorkers looking to learn something cool.CBaker92/21/2024
- If you love the history of Grand Central, this is more than worth your time!!!!! Our guide was truly terrific. Very conversational, informative, enjoyable!!! If you have had any interest in the background and history of this iconic building, you want to take this tour!!!!! He showed us several dozen features and perspectives of not only what the typical tourist and traveler would see but an incredible look behind the construction, history, and inner workings of this fabulous edifice.TheCincinnatiKid_102/20/2024Great experience - Highly recommend This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our NY vacation. We really enjoyed our tour and the tour guide Jonathan did a spectacular job. We highly recommend. He definitely added to the tour itself. We felt very welcomed. We will definitely be booking with Untapped New York again. Thank you for such a great experience!Stephanie C2/18/2024
- If you love NY history, take this tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. He really knows his history. The old photos of the station in different eras were interesting and informative.Lynn L2/18/2024Well worth the time and ticket. Fabulous tour! We were fortunate enough to have Jonathan as our tour guide and he was absolutely fantastic. He knew all of our names in the entire group in under 5 minutes. This helped to make us feel truly a part of his story telling. Two of our group of four had been on the tour before and said they really enjoyed the tour more this time and continued to learn with Jonathan at the helm! (That's a pretty high complement in and of itself). If you are lucky enough to get Jonathan as a tour guide, you are guaranteed to feel the time fly as you learn the history and stories of this beauty. Thanks for making it fantastic! - The Kansas CoalitionCindy D2/15/2024
- Good tour! This tour is filled with historical information. You will examine grand central station from floor to ceiling. The guide was very knowledgeable and personable. Whether you are a history buff, a tourist or someone who commutes to GCS every day, you will learn something on this tour.Gigi E2/07/2024Must do if you want a history tour. Bill is very knowledgeable and gave a fascinating tour that was packed with information. As we walked we were told about the buildings, the people, the stories and the context of who and why. Must do for anyone interested in the history of the Guilded Age.Steven K2/05/2024
