About this tour
Explore New York’s Gilded Age through the stories of Jewish families who helped shape the Upper East Side. On this New York Jewish Gilded Age Walking Tour, follow Fifth Avenue’s Millionaire’s Row, where grand mansions reflect ambition, philanthropy, and changing social boundaries.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1. Top 49% in New York City means it ranks in the top 49% of tours in New York City by this score.
