Fifth Avenue Gilded Age Mansions was an amazing tour. I learned so much about how Fifth Ave. evolved as an enclave for the very wealthy. The architecture is amazing and the tour guide shared such interesting facts and stories about the mansions and the people who lived there. I loved going into two of mansions...such a great experience. I would highly reccomend this to visitors & natives of NYC.

It was great! The guy was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the gilded era. We live in the city and I’ve never noticed many of the buildings that he pointed out. And the stories that went along with a different mansions were fascinating.

Wonderful tour of the more famous or infamous mansions on/near 5th Ave. Started at the Fricke and ended at the Cooper-Hewitt (Carnegie home). Guide was full of knowledge, funny and personable. Even had pics to help with the tour. Tour was a good pace and ended up being about 2 miles.
