While i agree that this is a magnificent house i think they all deserve the credit. This house has a beautiful view of the cliff walk and grand staircase.

We only had about an hour for this tour, and wished we had more. The tour is self-guided with pre-recorded information delivered through headphones, and if you want to do "just the basics", it takes just about an hour. Then you can "dial in" codes for additional information along the way, extending the tour. The mansion is opulent and filled... More

This is the most impressive of all the mansions. If you do this one first, all of the others will not be so interesting! You can take a self-guided tour with headphones, as in most of the mansions.

You can pick up the Cliff Walk right... More

You pay as you walk in. It is $19.50 pp. It does include an audio tour with headphones. I really enjoyed the audio... More
