Terrific tour of Grand Central! - Liz is a fantastic guide. We’ve been to NY many times and walked through GCT but never saw all of nooks or knew the history about this gem. It was really a great way to learn and explore in under 2 hours. We highly recommend.

An enjoyable walk through history. - The guide was very knowledgeable and funny. There was only us in the group so it was quite personalised. I did not know there was so much to learn about the Terminal. There are lots of little easter eggs that you would miss if you just wandered by yourself. We did the summit after and it was quite conveniently close.
