Just did the Grand Central tour! So worth it!

I recently went on the New York Grand Central Terminal tour, and it exceeded my expectations! We spent about 2 hours with a super knowledgeable guide who shared all kinds of secrets, like the Whispering Gallery. I had no idea the opal clock was such a big deal! Honestly, it felt like walking through a piece of history. I'd definitely recommend it as a gift for anyone who loves NYC or architecture!

Considering the Grand Central tour as a gift, any thoughts?

I'm thinking of gifting the Grand Central Terminal tour to my dad who's really into history and NYC. I know he's been wanting to explore the terminal deeper than just a quick visit. The secrets sound incredible, but is it worth it? Any tips from those who've done it?
