Traveler reviews
Fun facts about Grand Central Station
Justin was our guide and he was great!! We learned so much about Grand Central Station that we otherwise would not know. Such as the current building is the 3rd one. If you see someone standing in a corner like they are being punished, nope they are talking to the person in the opposite corner! And much more.
Informative and Fun
excellent tour! very informative and fun
Excellent & Interesting
We had an excellent guide Michael who was so knowledgable. We experienced parts of grand central station that members of the public can’t. So much history and so many things you wouldn’t notice or know the history behind them. Really interesting and worth doing when in NYC.
The Best Way to Experience Grand Central
We did a private Secrets of Grand Central tour with Pete and it was fantastic. Pete was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about New York and its history. He showed us details and hidden corners of Grand Central that we never would have noticed on our own, and had a great story or piece of history behind everything. The private tour was absolutely worth it. Pete tailored the experience to our interests, answered every question we threw at him, and made the history and architecture genuinely fun. We left feeling like we understood Grand Central in a completely different way. Highly recommend the tour, and especially Pete. Five stars all around.
Great tour of GCT
