The Untapped New York Team is thrilled to announce that we have been designated as one ofNewsweek's Best Tour Operators of 2026! This national Reader's Choice Award is determined by Newsweek's expert panelists and contributors, then voted on by readers across the country.
The honor specifically goes to our Secrets of Grand Central Terminal Tour, which Newsweek calls an "urban trek" that "peels back the layers of the Beaux‑Arts masterpiece—from the clandestine 'Track 61' to the celestial mysteries on its soaring ceiling," noting that this tour "offers both lifelong residents and first‑time visitors a rare, backstage look at the clandestine soul of the city's most famous landmark."
