Amazing Guide and Incredible Views - Our guide was amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and never rushed us. She provided our SUMMIT One Vanderbilt tickets, waited until we were all checked in, and gave us plenty of time for photos. The Grand Central Terminal history she shared was fascinating, and the views from SUMMIT were unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Great information and knowledge - I learned a lot in the tour given by Tommy Given lots of history which I didn’t know about the grand central place I enjoyed it ….. so I do recommend it for others to understand the history behind building such land mark in New York .

⭐️ The Absolute Best NYC Tour — Grand Central & One Vanderbilt with Tommy! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Tour with Tommy! My husband and I had an amazing experience with Tommy on our tour of Grand Central Station, followed by our visit to One Vanderbilt — and it was hands down one of our favorite things we did in NYC. Tommy is funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and so genuinely friendly. He brought Grand Central to life with fascinating history, hidden details, and stories we never would have learned on our own. You can truly feel his passion, and he made the entire experience fun, engaging, and effortless. The One Vanderbilt experience was absolutely breathtaking, and having everything so perfectly organized made it even better. From start to finish, the tour was seamless, informative, and unforgettable. We learned so much, laughed a lot, and had the best time. If you’re booking this tour, I highly recommend it — and if you’re lucky enough to get Tommy as your guide, you’re in for a treat. He’s the best!

Detailed Fun Tour - It turns out it was just the two of us in the tour making it a more personal one. Rose was our tour guide and she made us feel at home. She was knowledgeable, charismatic and professional. After a detailed tour of Central Terminal she accompanied us and made sure we were in the right place for the Summit. We definitely recommend the tour and to request Rose.

Scam or legit? Either way a huge waste of time - The only thing keeping this from being a one-star review is our guide, Lain, who was excellent: punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, and an all-around professional. Unfortunately, everything else about Viator and See Sights Tours was an absolute disaster. After our great Grand Central tour, Lain sent us our digital tickets for SUMMIT One Vanderbilt. When we arrived for our 9:00 AM entry, we spent 20 minutes going through security only to be told our tickets had been “returned to the purchaser.” We were then sent back through the crowded line to the front desk, where we learned the tickets were flagged for fraud and pulled back by See Sights Tours. Every phone number for both Viator and See Sights Tours either went to a disconnected line or left us on hold indefinitely. Meanwhile, the other two people on our tour walked right in with the paper tickets they had been given. We, on the other hand, were stuck being shoved around by hundreds of people in a packed lobby while trying to figure out whether we had been scammed. Nearly two hours later — after being kicked out of the line, forced to restart security, and finally receiving new paper tickets from a number we didn’t recognize that turned out to be Lain — we made it inside. By then, the crowds were crushing and the fog was so thick there was nothing to see. Even the elevator operator admitted no one was buying upgrades due to the weather. The “Ascend” upgrade we were given was useless. All of this could have been avoided if we had been given working tickets in the first place, or at least refunded so we could buy new ones day-of. Instead, we lost two hours of vacation time and ended up with a subpar, fog-covered experience. To make matters worse, See Sights Tours has ignored my emails for three days, and Viator refused a refund because we eventually received replacement tickets — completely ignoring the time lost and the chaos caused. I’ve spent roughly $8,000 with Viator over the years, but after this dismissive response, I won’t be booking through them again. If you take this tour, demand paper tickets. The two people who did got in on time. We did not — and paid the price for Viator and See Sights Tours’ incompetence.
