2-Hour Fifth Avenue History Tour

An in-depth history of the Gilded Age and New York’s most famous landmarks. Join me for a walk along Fifth Ave – the name associated with wealth, glitz, and glamour. Fifth Ave is one of the best-known streets in the world, especially the stretch known as Millionaire Row. Once upon a time, it was lined with the finest homes of New York’s wealthiest people – a place of ambition, intrigue, scandal, and the most spectacular balls ever given. This tour is about New York’s famous landmarks, its eclectic architecture, and people like the Vanderbilts, the Astors, and the Rockefellers, who shaped New York City into the metropolis we know now. It’s about millionaires and architects, visionaries and beautiful models, artists and writers whose names are forever connected to the fabulous 5th Avenue.
