    I took The Guilded Age Tour last week. What an enlightening self-guided tour through the elite and exclusive world of the late 1800’s - 1900’s! I’ve done other TellBetter Tours around NYC, and this is another that did not disappoint. Having walked past some of these mysterious millionaires’ mansions before, I had no idea of their amazing histories. It fills in the gaps of how the elite lived back in the day, and more importantly … how they got there - often with dirty tricks. And the tour bridges history to present day, pointing out some of the current or recent elites now owning them. It’s told with humorous anecdotes which creates a living history tour - not a musty museum version. The convincing character voices, music and sound effects and realistic audio production makes this tour convincing and realistic - the closest thing to stepping back in time. Do it!

    We THOROUGHLY enjoyed this Gilded Age tour! The stories and history were informative and entertaining. The production values and the use of GPS/timing were excellent. We especially loved the music tracks and the nuggets of interesting details that were provided throughout the tour. This was our first TellBetter and first VoiceMap tour and we’ve already decided to do the Washington Sq Park tour next.

    This audio tour was excellent. My friends and I found it easy to follow the walking directions and filled with lots of very interesting tidbits of history of the Gilded age mansions and modern day millionaires/billionaires. You can start it at any time of the day for the date you signed up. Sarah, Kelly and Denise from Texas highly recommend it to everyone.
