I recently took the NYC Grand Central Terminal Self-Guided Walking Tour and it was amazing! The audio guide was super engaging, and I learned so much about the history of the station. The Whispering Gallery was a highlight for me. And since it’s self-guided, I could stop whenever for pics! Definitely recommend for anyone visiting NYC, especially if you love history.
