We had a fantastic tour of the Gilded Age in NYC! It was super interesting and fun. NY Historical Tours will be our #1 choice every time we visit NYC! We also find their live-streamed events outstanding. The team behind this incredible company truly makes the experience exceptional!

Very informative, loved learning the history behind these amazing buildings and about this influential time period. Our guide, Mark, was extremity knowledgeable & friendly. My husband has a cognitive and behavioral impairment and Mark expertly and compassionately tailored the tour to our needs. Would highly recommend to anyone who would like to peel back the layers & dive in a little deeper to history of this city. Fall foliage and crisp air a plus!

Amazing tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and had so many fun facts. Even though it was raining during our tour, our guide was so willing and ready to go. Highly recommend.
