Richard was a very knowledgeable tour guide with a lot of interesting facts about the building you might pass by without knowing the history. It’s a beautiful space built in an era of opulence. Enjoyed having a drink in the Campbell Bar

Alexis was wonderful and informative. It was a great tour around Grand Central. There were only 3 in our group, so it was easy to move around. I highly recommend this tour.

My wife and I loved this tour. We learned so much about the history of the various buildings that eventually led to the current Grand Central Terminal. We went back to Campbell Bar after the tour for a drink and tried the Oyster Bar for lunch. Time very well spent in NYC.
