Fascinating insight into the changing role of Grand Central Terminal - There are so many stories Grand Central Terminal could tell and the guide brought them to life with his enthusiasm and attention to detail. Very enjoyable tour, I learned so much not only about the building, but its role in New York’s history.

Request Kevin - Prince of the City - Highly recommend. Kevin was our guide and he made the experience one of the best I’ve had in New York. His knowledge of the sites and general are were far more than I could’ve imagined.
