Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for the Grand Central and UN tour?

A: No age restrictions! This walking tour is great for all ages, so you can bring kids or older family members along. Just keep in mind that some parts involve a fair bit of walking, so make sure everyone's comfortable with that. Also, younger kids might not be super interested in all the historical details.

Q: What should I wear for the walking tour in NYC?

A: Definitely wear comfy shoes since you'll be on your feet a lot! The tour lasts about 2 hours, and you don't want to be hobbling around. As for clothing, it can get chilly in the fall, so layers are your friend. A light jacket might be a good idea, especially since you'll be outside near the UN and Chrysler Building.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the tour?

A: If the weather's really bad, the tour may be rescheduled. It's always best to check with the provider, Careri Entertainment, before heading out. They usually send out notifications if there are any changes due to weather. So, keep an eye on your email or the service's website!

Just did the Grand Central and UN tour – amazing experience!

I went on this tour last weekend and it was so cool! Starting in Grand Central was perfect, our guide was super knowledgeable and pointed out hidden gems like the Whispering Gallery. The Chrysler Building looked stunning from the outside, and learning about its Art Deco style was a highlight. Ending at the Waldorf Astoria felt like such a luxury! Highly recommend this for anyone visiting NYC or looking for a unique gift for someone who loves architecture and history.

Thinking of gifting the Grand Central tour for my parents

My parents love exploring NYC, and I'm considering this Grand Central and UN tour as a gift. I think they'd enjoy the history and architecture. But is it worth the price? Anyone know if it’s a good time or should I look for something else? They’re both in their 60s and pretty active.
