Scott provided an exceptional tour experience and provided excellent knowledge of the time period and occupants of the mansions. Highly recommended. A bonus on this tour was a trip into Sotheby's Auction.

If you are curious to have a more of a deep dive in the history and different neighborhoods in NYC, I'd recommend this tour. It gives you a good understanding of the upper east side, the architecture, it's history and demographic landscape. When finished you can find your way in Central Park or various museums nearby!

I cannot recommend this tour enough. I am a New Yorker and I not only enjoyed it, but learned so much about this area of the city. I will definitely be taking my friends on this tour. Scott really makes you feel connected with the city and the culture of the upper east side.

Scott is easy going and engaging. He is quite knowledgeable about the mansions, their history and the quirks of the people that built/owned them. Made for a fun and informative couple of hours. I recommend him without reservation.

Scott knows his stuff. Took us to several very interesting buildings that you would not know to walk into without his guidance. Some great sneak peaks into the homes , buildings and and lifestyles of the Gilded Age. I was mildly curious when I signed up for the tour and the 2.25 hours greatly exceeded my expectations. He brings the some of the history to life with images on his Ipad throughout the tour too. Highly recommend.

The tour with Scott was extensive and very interesting; Scott took her to unique buildings I wouldn't have found on my own and shed light on the history of the area. Scott was pleasant and courteous.

Scott lead a flawless tour! He is knowledgeable, respectful, and entertaining. Really appreciated he kept us in the shade/ac on such a hot day. He clearly loves the industry and is very well informed. Strongly recommend!

Awesome! Great mix of history, architecture and art!

Upper East Side Kunst & Architektur: von Villen des Goldenen Zeitalters zu moderner Kunst

The tour was really informative and interesting. Scott provided a lot of detail, we got to go inside buildings and see things you wouldn't normally stumble upon on your own. He provided a lot of insight and context about the buildings and art. Scott was very nice, went out of his way to check in with guests to make sure they could hear, any questions, cognizant of the weather/sun/shade. I highly recommend taking his tours!

What a fabulous tour! This is my second gilded age art tour with Scott. I enjoyed it so much the first time, I invited some friends to come along and we went again today. Scott provides fascinating facts and makes the history both relevant and fun. It’s a great way to get access to places individuals often can’t. Highly recommend.
