5.00Our 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!
