Traveler reviews
Good afternoon activity
Great information about the families of the gilded age. Nice area of NYC to walk around in. Do not get to go inside buildings, only 1 stop.
A very enjoyable tour
AJ is a very good speaker and was quite knowledgeable. Dates and facts on all the the mansions on the tour were memorized. He spoke at a nice understandable pace that was very engaging.
Earpiece helps hear great
Deep history and understanding it help us understand today. Tour guide, Ro, was very knowledgeable and helped understand the difference of then vs now and what else was going on in Manhattan. I chose this for the earpiece to hear better, and it worked out great 👍
Worth the time and money
Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us really interesting tidbits about the gilded age and mansions. It was a good length and worth the cost with details you would never know about many of the buildings along the way.
