Note: The reviews provided are actually about Grand Central Terminal in New York City, not a tour company called Build Tours. Most reviews are blank, with only a handful containing actual text. Based on the limited content available, here is a summary: Grand Central Terminal earns near-universal praise, and it's easy to see why. Reviewers consistently describe it as one of the finest train stations in the world, with its grand Beaux-Arts architecture, ornate details, and that iconic star-painted ceiling drawing admiration from visitors across multiple languages and cultures. Even those passing through purely for transit often wish they had arrived earlier just to soak it all in. Beyond the spectacle, the station is praised for being highly functional despite its size, with clear signage and a layout that handles crowds well. Dozens of dining options make it easy to settle in before or after a journey. Busy at times, yes, but that energy feels fitting for such an iconic New York landmark. It is the kind of place that rewards a slower pace, so budget extra time if you can.
The train station is big and nice.
