Gilded Age Mansions Tour a New York
Descrizione

Omicidio! Romance Architecture! Entra in alcune delle poche dimore della Golden Age rimaste sulla Fifth Avenue e scopri le persone che hanno vissuto e progettato questi capolavori. Ottimo per i fan dello show HBO, The Gilded Age. Mentre i nuovi milionari americani facevano a gara per vedere chi poteva avere la villa più ornata accanto al Central Park appena creato, spesero ingenti somme di denaro per assumere architetti ispirati ai palazzi europei per costruire strutture come quelle che non si erano mai viste in America. Ascolterete storie di potere, avidità, amore e generosità di un tempo in cui l'America stava rapidamente diventando uno dei paesi più ricchi e potenti del mondo.

Our guide, Luke, was excellent. He definitely knows his stuff. He was very engaging, and the tour was interesting and informative. We were able to go into some of the mansions (they are no longer personal homes) and see what they look like. Luke used his tablet to show us photos of people and buildings from the Gilded Age as well. If you like history, this is the tour for you.
I’m glad Luke was excellent and you appreciated going inside some of the mansions. Thanks for your review!

This was a gem of a tour! It was easy to find the meeting location and our tour guide, Luke. The tour itself was well organized and extremely informative. The walking was easy and although a bit warm, there were several stops in the shade where there was seating outdoors and provided us a break. We also got the chance to go into a few mansions and the Met, where we had a bathroom/water break. Out tour guide, Luke was phenomenal! He was knowledgeable, kept things moving and interesting, and had a GREAT sense of humor! We recommend this tour highly and without reservation.
