Great tour, fun for the whole family! - Fantastic tour with Rayn! He’s knowledgeable and great with answering questions. The history and stories behind the stations were fascinating, I’ve walked through them many times and had no idea there were so many clues about the past in plain sight. Wasn’t sure if my 11 year old would like it (she’s not into history/museums) but she loved every bit of it and was the first to raise her hand when Rayn asked if we wanted one more factoid. Thanks for a super fun time!

And I thought I knew everything there is to know about New York.... - The tour was a two-hour journey through the history and belly of New York City like I've never experienced before. I've lived in the city over 25 years, have traversed through these stations mindlessly, but given a whole new lens of understanding. Rayn's tour was full of information - quirky, unique, and practical - that connected the past with the present. My little niece and nephew said it was their favorite tour of all!

Informative and fun subway adventure! - I've always loved the idea of stumbling upon historical sites in cities. Rayn kept our group safe, always making sure no one got left behind. Rayn is very knowledgeable about the subways, and the tour is both informative and fun. Because of Rayn, I discovered hidden gems I would've missed. Not a second was wasted! I can't wait to bring my friends on the next tour! It was a fun and educational experience that also gave me some good exercise. Truly unique.

An Engaging Tour - Our tour guide, Rayn, was excellent. He was so knowledgeable, funny, and engaging while managing our group during a tour of Penn Station. I’m a daily commuter into Penn and I learned a ton on this tour that I’ll always remember. I’d highly recommend Rayn and his positively charming tours.

Excellent Tour Experience! - Touring with Rayn was a blast! We so enjoyed his experience and knowledge about the stations and their history. Rayn addressed all our questions with background, stories and illustrations. His insight and experience was amazing. One of the best tours we’ve done before! We’re planning on another tour with Rayn for a subway history tour. We can’t wait!

Amazed and delighted! - Our Grand Central Terminal tour with Rayn was wonderful! It was thorough, well-paced, focused on history and also on contemporary influences and changes, and best of all it was full of surprises. I've picked up a few interesting facts about GCT over the 40 years I've lived in NYC, but Rayn's encyclopedic knowledge blew me away. This is my second excursion with him (I highly recommend his Subway Tour) and there will be many more. Whatever tour he offers, sign up -- I promise it will be first-rate!

Loved the Secrets of Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal Tour. - Fascinating 2 hours with our tour guide, Rayn Riel. Incredibly interesting without ever getting boring. Fast-paced but not rushed. I've been riding the rails at Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal for over 50 years and thought I knew a lot of things about both historic venues but Rayn's tour was fresh and fun! Highly recommended.
