We loved this tour and have taken it twice with different tour guides. Both guides were excellent, but the man in the picture gives his tour with a historical slant and great architectural detail of Grand Central Terminal. We were lucky enough to go into Cipriani's and that was fantastic. Go you will love it and it is FREE, really! (Although I know they would appreciate tips.)
