NYC Grand Central Station - Cool tour and a great guide

Published on Jan, 2025

Loved this tour! John DeSanto was a great guide - informative, attentive, knowledgeable, personable, well-prepared, and funny. He shared interesting facts and points of interest within the terminal and outside. We didn't miss a word as he provided whisper listening devices. There are places in the building that you will want to go back and visit after the tour ends! Thanks, John.

Great Tour of Grand Central Station!

This was by far the best tour I’ve done! Richard was extremely knowledgeable about GCT and made sure any questions from the group were responded to. The earpieces were a tremendous help. Many thanks to Richard for a fun, informative tour!

Fabulous tour!

Brilliant tour with Richard our guide today. He was kind and courteous and very knowledgeable. My husband is very much into trains and thought the tour was fantastic- as did our 17 year old daughter and I who aren’t quite such train fanatics! We learned a lot about the history of the train station, the role of Jackie Kennedy, secret spiral staircases, architecture, whispering walls and of course the tennis court! I was concerned that we wouldn’t be able to hear our guide given the background noise of a busy working station but Richard gave us little over ear headphones which were great. We’d thoroughly recommend this tour. Thank you Richard!

Great tour and a great guide
