点评:I’m not sure why the overall rating so far for this mansion tour is a 3.9 because as I scroll through the other reviews, they’re quite high. All I can think of is there must be very old reviews from years ago that is bringing the average down.
I was very excited about this tour after reading about it online. The tour did not disappoint. I would visit again!
Here are some particulars about my visit: When we got to the mansion, there is a few parking spaces but not many there is a visitor center. That’s not attached to the mansion in an old carriage house. There is a bathroom in there and a gift shop and this is where you pay for your tour.
The tour is led by a few doses on multiple levels of the mansion. Our first dose and Brenda gave us a tour of the outside of the mansion. Inside on the first level, we then toured with Debbie. And then on other subsequent floors, we toured with Lisa. All three doses were very informative, dressed in period attire and were all friendly and accommodating.
The mansion itself is exquisite inside. You could take photos as well. I will say the outside of the mansion isn’t as aesthetically pleasing with the limestone block, but the family that lived there back in the day must’ve liked it.
There are some interesting inventions inside. It always amazes me how the wealthy Victorians always had the latest technology.
There are steps on this tour to go upstairs and downstairs and there’s no handicap accommodations for that. There are chairs here and there in the various rooms if you need to sit down.
The tour took about two hours. The price for the tour was $12 for an adult. I don’t remember if they had senior citizen discount or AAA discount.
翻译:我不明白为什么这个豪宅之旅的总体评分只有 3.9 分,因为我浏览其他评论时发现评分都很高。我只能想到可能是因为有一些几年前的旧评论拉低了平均分。
我在网上看到关于这个豪宅之旅的介绍后非常兴奋。这次旅行果然没有让我失望。我还会再去!
以下是我这次旅行的一些细节:我们到达豪宅后,发现停车位不多,只有一个游客中心。游客中心位于一座旧马车房内,与豪宅主体建筑分开。里面有洗手间和礼品店,也是购买门票的地方。
这次旅行由几位导游带领,分别在豪宅的不同楼层进行。我们的第一位导游是 Brenda,她带领我们参观了豪宅的外部。进入一楼后,Debbie 带领我们参观。之后,Lisa 带领我们参观了其他楼层。三位讲解员都非常博学,身着时代服装,而且都很友善热情。
宅邸内部装饰精美,还可以拍照留念。不过,宅邸外部的石灰岩砌筑略显逊色,但想必当年的住户一定很喜欢。
宅邸内陈列着一些有趣的发明。维多利亚时代的富人们总是能拥有最先进的科技,这总是让我感到惊叹。
参观过程中需要上下楼梯,而且没有无障碍设施。各个房间里零星分布着椅子,方便需要休息的人。
参观大约需要两个小时。成人票价为12美元。我不记得是否有老年人折扣或AAA会员折扣了。
