A Taste of Splendor - My friend and I have been enthralled with the Guilded Age for years after visiting Newport, RI. We have gobbled up novels and shows and visited lots of Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Frick ETC homes throughout the country with our husbands. When we saw this tour advertised, we knew this was for us! We were definitely not disappointed! Our guide Richard was so knowledgeable! He also knew some secret places unknown to the general public so we could see remnants of these beautiful places. It was a long walk on a hot day, but Richard let us stop for water and sit from time to time. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it to other Guilded Age enthusiasts!

Perfect way to spend a beautiful afternoon - The weather was beautiful and it was the perfect way to spend our last few hours in NY. The kids even found it fascinating. The ear pieces made it easy to listen and follow along even while we were moving from property to property.
