Great great guide - Catherine was wonderful—the best guide I found in NYC. As a true New Yorker, she really knew what she was talking about. I was absolutely captivated by the references and stories she shared about Grand Central Terminal. I strongly recommend this tour with Catherine .

Fantastic Tour with Aaron - Aaron was an absolute fantastic guide for our walking tour! He is a great guy with an amazing, passionate energy that really brings the history to life. You can tell how professional he is honestly, you'd never guess he hasn't been doing these tours for very long. Highly recommended!!!

Definitely worthwhile! - A truly informative and enjoyable experience. Our guide was knowlegable and personable. The use of earpieces made it very easy to hear and follow everything that our guide (Anna) was saying. The pace and the length of the tour was appropriate even for two people in their late seventies.

Kevin, our guide, was fantastic! - We were looking for an outing inside. Fascinated with the station and wanted more information about it. This tour exceeded our expectations! Kevin, our guide, is exceptional. He grew up in NYC and knew his stuff. Shared some childhood stories. He is an art history professor and was able to bring many design details to life. Also he asked where everyone in the group was from. He remembered that and during the tour, he mentioned pertaining information from our locations. The time went by very fast. I will say that you do need to stand at length.
