Traveler reviews
Highly recommend this tour
Ben was an excellent tour guide - very personable, welcoming and engaging. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history (people, places, events) of that time in New York City. Note that there is only one building in which you go inside to see an interior space (all of the other stops on the tour are exterior only)
The best tour company and tour guide ever!
I booked this tour for a group of 55+ empty nesters which I run for several affiliated synagogues in Nassau County. The people at Untapped (primary contact was Justin Rivers) were extremely efficient, polite and flexible and accommodated my needs (of which there were many) completely. Questions and requests were handled extremely quickly. And our tour guide, Richard Soden, was very personable and knowledgeable. Not only did he share thousands of facts and stories but he also came with a laptop filled with great old photographs of interiors and exteriors of many mansion. AND, when we asked numerous questions which were not directly related to the Fifth Avenue mansions, he answered every question so thoroughly that it seemed like he had a microchip implanted in his head or that he had an AI feed. I cannot say enough about this tour and every single person in my group felt exactly the same way. Thank you Untapped for a really great experience.
Great experience.
Great experience. Highly reccommended.
Fascinating
An intriguing and facinating tour about the not so long ago history and wealth of powerful families in NY. The tour is fast paced and full of fun facts. Richards is extremely knowledgeable on the subject. Highly recommend!
