This is a good and reasonably thorough house tour, though clearly the house was designed as a setting for the gardens - which is to say that the furnishings are nice a suitably opulent, but not the product of a 'collector' at work. Nevertheless they make a fine impression and my tour guide on a solo tour did a nice job of illuminating the couple and their lives. Marred slightly be a following group whose guide was moving it along too fast (his complaint not mine). Unfortunately you pay for the gardens, and in late April, they really weren't spectacular. On second thought, for the extra $15 (!), I'd probably have skipped it and settled for the allee of oaks leading to the house itself + its forecourt. Others will value this differently.
