Perfect tour for fans of the HBO series The Gilded Age and history buffs. We learned a lot about NYC history and the guide was very knowledgeable.

Eccentric is certainly a word to sum up some of the Gilded Age figures. Glad you enjoyed your tour with Richard. We'll be sure to let him know. Be well!
