Much interesting, I would only suggest the customers to bring their own wired headsets, because the one provided was much uncomfortable.

My family went on 5 tours during our time in New York, and this one was by far the best. The utilization of audio aids allowed us to hear the tour guide (Joe) throughout the tour. Joe was extremely knowledgeable and clearly knew the history of the terminal. He did an amazing job presenting the information, even had historical photos to share with our group. We were really impressed. If you like history and architecture, this is a tour you will want to book. The Grand Central Terminal shouldn’t be missed when visiting the city!

Our group of 7, (3 adults and 4 kids) loved our tour of Grand Central Terminal. Checking in was easy, and Zizi greeted us warmly and pumped up our kids. Colin, our tour guide, was knowledgeable and friendly. He knew a lot about New York history and was very informative. I’d highly recommend this tour.
