- Description
- Your adventure begins in Grand Central Terminal’s modern-day heart: the lively main concourse. Marvel at the famous clock perched atop the information booth—and learn the eye-watering amount it’s rumored to be worth—as your guide regales you with the story of Cornelius Vanderbilt, the mastermind behind Grand Central Depot (as it was originally called).
-
- Head into Vanderbilt Hall, itself a living testament to Grand Central’s rags-to-riches transformation in the 1980s. Next, pop outside for a moment to gaze upon the largest Tiffany clock in the world from the busy Pershing Square plaza.
-
- Back inside, it's time to travel back in time to the Roaring 20s. Step into a speakeasy-style bar that, a century ago, served as the private office of one of New York’s most prominent railroad tycoons.
-
- In the Whispering Gallery you’ll learn just how whispered secrets travel across the busy interchange to be perfectly heard on the other side and you’ll get a peek at one of the largest lost-and-found departments anywhere in the world. Peruse the handcrafted designs and jewelry on sale from local artisans in the Graybar Passage before stepping into a fascinating former movie theater, where travel-weary youngsters could enjoy some entertainment back in Grand Central’s heyday.
-
- Last but not least, you’ll weave through the colorful Grand Central Market before making your way back to the main concourse, having gotten a true insider’s look at the most famous train terminal in the world.

- Description
- You’ll begin your tour in the main concourse of Grand Central Terminal. Here, you’ll meet your guide and a small group of no more than 20 fellow visitors. Hear about Cornelius Vanderbilt, the railroad tycoon behind the ingenious design of Grand Central, and how it took three versions and a mixture of tragedy and innovation to bring about its final design. Many years later, you’re walking under the main concourse’s beautiful beaux-art style soaring arches that have become a cultural touchstone, and a path tread by a number of Hollywood heroes and villains.
-
- Afterwards, you’ll step into Vanderbilt Hall. Years of neglect and disrepair motivated New Yorkers to restore Grand Central to its former splendor. See the famous Tiffany Clock outside in Pershing Square as well as a statue built to honor Vanderbilt’s memory. Next, walk the ramp down past the Oyster Bar – Grand Central’s first restaurant, with a diverse menu reflecting the cultural identity of New York.
-
- You’ll continue uncovering a side of Grand Central most visitors never experience as the tour continues. Lay your eyes on one of the largest lost and found departments not only of any railway terminal but anywhere in the world! You’ll come out on the lively Lexington Avenue where you’ll have a perfect view - and photo op - of the majestic Chrysler Building. Going back inside, Grand Central Market awaits boasting over 160 seafood varieties and 400 types of cheeses, meaning you’ll be spoilt for choice.
