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.

First of all, it is worth saying that in my 26 years I was on many excursions and thought that it would be something standard, as before, but it was quite an unusual and unexpected experience. this case changed my idea of how they might fit. I think it was the best tour of my life! It all starts with a walk around the city, Iren asked me about what is interesting specifically to me and adjusted the entire program for me. It ends with getting into an incredibly unusual and friendly atmosphere of a secret bar with jazz and good alcohol. I didn't even think that jazz nowadays can sound and look so interesting. And I strongly advise you to stay on the show until the end. it is rich and combines different styles. Iren feels like a friend and not a guide, which is very good. You can have an interesting time even if you are not particularly talkative. She also advised me a lot of interesting places that I would definitely not have visited if not for her. Her knowledge of the city is amazing, so she will have great ideas. thanks to her advice, visiting this tour, you will make many days of your trip to new York unusual and fill with richness, not just one.This is definitely my best experience in new York and I strongly recommend that you visit this.
