Just did the Grand Central Secrets Tour—so cool!

I went on the Secrets of Grand Central Station tour last weekend, and wow, it was amazing! There were so many cool facts like the hidden tennis court and the backstory of the ceiling design. Our guide was super knowledgeable and funny too. Definitely worth the 2 hours—great way to learn something new about NYC! I’m thinking of gifting it to my parents next time they visit.

Thinking of gifting the Grand Central tour—need opinions!

I want to get my best friend a fun experience for her birthday, and this Grand Central tour looks interesting! Has anyone done it? I want to know if it's actually worth it. She loves architecture and history, so I think she’d enjoy it, but I’m not sure if it’s engaging enough for adults.
