Pete was a great tour guide! His style was engaging and his pace was perfect!! We learned a lot and we are so glad we did the tour.
We took our 13 year old granddaughter on this tour and I was worried this would not be interesting to her. Quite the contrary! She loved it. Our guide, Jonathan was truly extraordinary and made the entire experience so special. Of all the things we did on our trip, this was our favorite.
Micky was very knowledgeable, so friendly too! I really liked that she was not trying to overdo her presentation. No nonsense, occasionally funny and friendly! Thank you for a great experience.
Richard is a wealth of knowledge! He conveys that knowledge with confidence, enthusiasm, humor, and deep interest in his subject. We appreciated his accommodating the needs of the group, (auditory & mobility). We will definitely seek out another tour when back in NYC.
Laura was a terrific guide. She took us to places in Central Park that we had never been too and lots of fun, hidden details were pointed out in places we had been.
We thought Cullen was terrific. He was personable, article, and engaging.
Fun afternoon learning interesting facts about Grand Central. Cullen was informative and entertaining.
Good lecture . Richard excellent lecturer. Nice walking tour inside and outside the Station. I recommend the tour.
Very informative and educational . We learned a lot about the magnificent history of Grand Central Station.
My wife and I visited NYC from out of town. We joined our long-time NYC friends on a tour of Grand Central Station. Our guide, Richard, was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to our questions. The tour was tremendous and we had a fantastic time.
