The trolley tour was fantastic! Our guide Trolley Rob was very funny and had great information about the area, the history behind the homes and their owners, going back to the gilded age. Great value for the price. Only complaint was I think the tour could have gone another 30/60 minutes longer, so much information and so much to see!

The tour was good.. so interesting.. the only thing that would have made the tour better was the time.. we really passed by all the mansions and other attractions FAST.. somethings I was interested in I was unable to get a pic. But so glad we took the tour. Thank you..

Our guide Troy was very informative, receptive to questions, added some humor along the way. We did not get off and tour museum because of our time schedule and would highly recommend even if you don’t tour museum.
