Tours of Abandoned stations of New York's Subway - Time-Lapse Photography of Person Standing Near Train

I have found a list on NYCSubway.org of abandoned stations of the New York's Subway.

Some of them look pretty amazing like the closed City Hall Station.

I just wonder if there are tours available of these stations? I am fairly happy to do it on my own but I'd prefer at least an initial walkthrough with someone who knows their way around.
