Nice mansion tour. - Location is in a park. It was a nice drive through the park to the mansion. The guide was knowledgeable but I felt rushed through the rooms. I would have liked more time to read the information boards.

The tour exceeded all... - The tour exceeded all expectations! The exterior and park weren't very impressive, but seeing the interior and getting all the information is 100% worth it! The Chinese gallery at the end was a nice surprise. I would skip the underground gardens for this. My only complaint however about booking through Viator, is there is no option to select a time, which other sites allow and the staff seems to prefer. The first guy seemed a little confused as it seems people usually don't book the tour through Viator, but I had a bunch of rewards I didn't want to waste again.

The Kearney Mansion Tour is a fantastic step back in time - highly recommend!!! - The tour of the historic Kearney Mansion in Fresno is an absolute must see. The docents were incredible, the tour is very well organized and at 1 hour long, it is just long enough. The decorations, the many Christmas Trees inside nearly every room - we were blown away. Best $10 I ever spent.....highly recommend!!!

Very Interesting Tour - The tour of the Kearney Mansion was very interesting and family friendly. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned a lot about not only Mr. Kearney’s life but how he impacted others and the early years of the city of Fresno. Thank you!

Interesting home and story - Located out of Fresno surrounded by a lovely park. Park had disc golf. The home tour lasts about an hour. There was handicapped parking. Tour involves steps to the 2nd floor. First floor has lift to get there. The guides were knowledgeable and very solicitous. I was made welcome and helped whenever I needed to rest. Thanks so much!

Arrived about 30 minutes... - Arrived about 30 minutes before the 1:00 tour. After 1:00, I knocked on the door to learn they were closed for Christmas decorating; however, the website did not note they were closed. Neither did the phone mail message or any signage. Also left a message via phone mail and they did not return my call. A total waste of time.
