Tour of Grand Central was great! Our guide, Lain was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the history and showed us some interesting things we would have never seen on our own. Highly recommended.
Amazing Guide and Incredible Views
Our guide was amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and never rushed us. She provided our SUMMIT One Vanderbilt tickets, waited until we were all checked in, and gave us plenty of time for photos. The Grand Central Terminal history she shared was fascinating, and the views from SUMMIT were unforgettable. Highly recommend!
