Intelligent and fun, but advertises for Trump

Vickey_K, May 2026

He is VERY Knowledgeable and fun. If you love Trump you will like him more…his hat has 47 embroidered on it 😡

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad you found the tour knowledgeable and fun. We’d like to clarify that the “47” on the tour guide's hat refers to the '47 brand of his New York Mets hat, it's not a political statement. Our goal is always to provide an engaging, welcoming experience for all guests, and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

Grand Central Station Secrets tour

Percy was a wealth of knowledge!! They knew their way around and gave us suggestions about NYC in general. We lucked out, there were 4 of us in our group and no one else joined the tour so it was small and intimate which allowed us opportunities that a larger group might not have had. Thank you Percy!!

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for sharing this lovely review. We’re really glad you enjoyed the Grand Central Terminal tour and that the small group made the experience feel more personal and relaxed. Percy will be very happy to hear your kind words—he always enjoys sharing both the station’s history and tips for exploring New York. We hope to welcome you on another tour in the future!

Great tour, awesome guide!

Liz was a wonderful tour guide full of information and fun facts. She continues to research to give an interesting tour. I learned so much about Grand Central Terminal, our time together flew by. Then she made sure to direct us to the correct subway line to get back to our hotel. Both my friend and I highly recommend!

Response from Host, Apr 2026

We truly appreciate your recommendation!
