Fabulous 90 minutes in NYC!

Sara was a truly outstanding guide! She was super knowledgable and had lots of interesting anecdotes. She was truly passionate about the beautiful architecture of this famous landmark and eagerly shared her excitement with all of us. It made the fascinating history of Grand Central Station come alive and it will live on in our memories!

So Much Hidden in Plain Sight!

Melanie_P, Apr 2024

This tour was SO educational and interesting! The personal earpieces were the perfect thing, as we could all hear our guide as if we were alone with her. Hearing the stories behind the details of the Grand Central Terminal, from its history to its artwork, ensured that you never thought about it in the same way again. At the conclusion of the tour, I was so enchanted that I went through the museum/gift shop alone to extend the experience just a little longer.

Response from Host, Apr 2024
