A Gilded Age Audio Guide: New York's Millionaire Row

Overview

On this self-guided audio tour, you will admire the architecture and savour the scandals of Fifth Avenue’s old money set. Hear from Emmy-nominated storyteller Tom Darbyshire of TellBetter Tours, who takes audio walking tours to a new level—less dry facts, more juicy stories. Opposite New York’s Central Park is the world’s most prestigious address: Fifth Avenue, where grand mansions were built by Gilded Age robber barons and their heirs. As you stroll along Millionaire’s Row and Museum Mile, I’ll share extraordinary stories of love and loss, epic battles over status, and deliciously petty squabbles over the rules that governed society in the late 1800s. Every mansion has its story, and we bring them to life in dramatic fashion, with voice actors and immersive sound design that puts you in the ballrooms, carriages and clubs of the Gilded Age elite. No other Gilded Age tour, recorded or live, packs as much detail and drama into one thrilling experience.
