Tons of fun - Tons of fun, and Richard is an amazing guide - a walking encyclopedia of New York City and the Gilded Ages (the real one and the TV show).

Exciting experience - The tour was exciting and helpful for understanding The Gilded Age series better and learning more about NYC history. The guide, Mr Richerd was helpful, professional and kind. Highly recommended experience.

Good information but few mansions - Though it was informative, and the tour guy was excellent the title was a little deceptive. There are actually almost no mansions from that age remaining. Most of the trip was looking at pictures on an iPad of what used to be.

Horrible - The tour guide lacked enthusiasm and gave very little information. Basically, she showed some photos and gave very little detail. Everything she walked you to you could have seen on your own. The only two buildings you see were public buildings. She was so unengaged she never even walked into the last building with us yet the other tour guide who had caught up to us went into the building and provided information. It was so obvious she had no interest doing this job. Hire someone else who is excited to do this job like the other guy who ran the other group. Some of us left early. This was a complete waste of the money. Also, a lot of the buildings are under scaffolding and you can’t even see them.
