Easy, informative self- guided tour of Grand Central Station NYC

Published on Jan, 2025

The instructions were very clear, and once begun, the tour was easy to follow - easy to pause when necessary and then to resume. Selections were short but full of information - highly recommended! (One suggestion: we booked for 2 adults. Instructions about how to access the tour for each individual through one booking could be made more clear / easier ). We'll book more of this author's tours - very well done!

Great All-Around Tour

Published on Dec, 2024

We saw and learned so much more than we would have seen on our own. The self guided tour’s navigation directions were easy to follow.

Great inside information!

Published on Jul, 2024

The backstory of the building and details of the construction were fascinating! We wouldn’t have gotten all that information just reading the few signs around.

Excellent!!!

This tour was a favorite of mine. I have used this company several times and am never disappointed. I will continue to use this service.
