Official Android Tour App for New York’s Grand Central Terminal

One of the most popular tourist destinations in New York City, Grand Central Terminal, now has an android app for self-guided visitor tours. MTA Metro-North Railroad which operates the terminal has teamed up with MyOrpheo USA – a smartphone tablet tour application development (http://myorpheo.com/interactive-application) company, to give tourists, travelers and locals alike a history of the terminal filled with interesting details and insights.

MyOrpheo is a branch of Orpheo Group, a world renowned producer of audio tours which also developed the official self-guided audio tour of Grand Central Terminal.

Orpheo Group President, Alain Eisenstein said “Grand Central Terminal is full of history, secrets, and so much more. I have learned so many things about this site in the development of this project that I now understand where the heart of New York is!” The tour focuses not only on the architectural highlights of the Terminal but provides a real story about little known secrets, anecdotes, archival material and the History of the Terminal, with a capital H. Visitors will not see Grand Central with the same eyes after taking the tour.

The android smartphone & tablet tour app is available for $4.99 and is provided in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German and Japanese.
