Fascinating NYC history! Fascinating backstory for NYC, Gilded Age and more recent developments in the City. Our guide Richard was excellent: knowledgeable, so very informative, AND entertaining! The hidden secrets of GCT really need this tour to be uncovered. Based on our tour, I would plan to do more Untapped New York on future trips to NYC.

tour and guide of the Fifth Avenue Guilded Age Mansion Tour The tour with Richard Soden was fantastic! His knowledge of the history and architecture of New York was fascinating. He was warm and fun. I recommend the tour and requesting Richard if you can.

Native New Yorker wowed by this excursion Richard, our guide, was articulate, enthusiastic and professional. Despite wiltingly hot temperatures, he kept things moving along in a timely way. He held our attention as he recounted interesting facts and anecdotes about the glorious "gilded mansions of Fifth Ave". I might even do this same tour again as there was so much to learn and appreciate.

Great Guilded Age Tour We went on the Guilded Age Mansions tour. Bob Gelber gave a great tour complete with the history of the interpersonal feuds of the time. He was informative, enthusiastic and professional — he even continued educating us when the tour was interrupted by a sudden rain storm. Highly recommend.

Incredible Gilded Age Tour up Fifth Ave Such an interesting and exciting tour. Justin’s knowledge and skill at storytelling brought Gilded Age New York City to life. We saw beautiful mansions which I’ve just walked by all my life. With the aid of a marvelous collection of old photographs we could see what things were like at the turn of the century. Highly recommend, can’t wait to do more

Time & money well spent I was on the Guilded Age mansion tour. Our guide was tremendous and although it moved at a fast pace, he was prepared, articulate, and genuinely excited about the subject matter. This tour comes with my highest approval. Well done!

A joy! I also did Untapped’s brand new Gilded Age tour – a fascinating stroll down history lane while walking up 5th Avenue. Our unforgettable guide Justin provided an afternoon jam-packed with facts, intriguing stories and inside information. Catch this if you can.
