Traveler reviews
Great tour!!!
Richard was our tour guide, he was professional, knowledgeable, approachable and attentive. He made sure the entire group was participating and was concerned we were always safe and that we kept together. He encouraged questions and discussion. There were 13 in our group and we all enjoyed it very much. Thank you Richard.
Great experience for a locals and visitors.
Very fun and informative. Richard was great and extremely knowledgeable. Such a friendly and personable guy. If you can do the tour with him, I would recommend it. Admittedly, we had great weather for the tour, which makes it an even better experience. Bring your camera and wear comfortable shoes. Just to add, you don’t actually tour the insides of the mansions as they are either converted to private residences or occupied by governmental or private businesses.
Great overview of Manhattan’s gilded age !
Loved learning about the historical overview of the gilded age. Tour guide was great ! I would highly recommend!
Fascinating tour full of interesting details about NYC
This was a wonderful experience. We have been to NYC so many times, and I learned so much I never knew before while on this tour. We ended up so interested in the Gilded Age that we watched the show and read books about it after the trip.
Interesting and Educational
Very interesting and educational about buildings and a part of the city I have been to many times before.
