Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Am amazing house. Great guide to give you some of the background and the stories. It’s pretty neat that every room has at least one original piece. Even with success and money, Samuel Clemens had to sell his mansion in his lifetime. You get a feel for the Victorian era.

Very enjoyable, interesting. The house, museum, video of his life. Even the shop was nice and had a wide variety of books, jewelry, and knickknacks.

Definitely worth a stop- the Living History tour with Josh was fantastic. He was terrific in character and really gave an interesting peek into the life and times of the Clemens family. The foundation did an unbelievable job of the restoration. Truly one of a kind home.

This excellent tour should be mandatory for the confirmed Twainiac and/or the committed bibliophile.

We had a most thrilling afternoon enjoying the Living History Tour of Mark Twain’s house where Samuel Langhorne Clemens lived with his family from 1874 to 1891. It is here that he wrote some of his more famous books including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), The Prince and the Pauper (1881), Life on the Mississippi (1883) and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884).
The tour began with his eldest daughter, Susy Olivia Clemens descending the steps to Reception to meet the group, singing the traditional Welsh folk song The Ash Grove (Welsh: Llwyn Onn) composed in the 19th century by the harpist John Thomas. Susy’s ethereal singing voice preceded her appearance at the top of the steps, and sounded at first, as if it were coming from somewhere beyond. She was using the lyrics of the English dramatist John Oxenford, setting us all agog with anticipation as to the rest of the proceedings.
Susy was attired in impressive period Victorian costume, complete with her chatelaine. The tour is set in 1889. And it takes one through the rooms on three floors of the house which is well preserved and immaculately maintained with framed photographs of the family and artefacts from their travels. The rooms had fireplaces and some had speaking tubes to communicate their needs down to the kitchen.
The character of Susy Clemens was brought to life by the skill and talent of Miss Olivia Tummescheit. In response to the request of one of the group, and without a moment’s hesitation, Olivia even impressed us by adroitly playing the Steinway piano in the grand drawing room.
Her inimitable presentation and engaging narrative made it a most worthwhile 75 minutes. Her recollection of the events and affairs of the Clemens family was detailed and she was able to answer the searching questions from the group concerning her parents and her siblings as well as their cats and pet squirrel. Remarkably, Olivia Tummescheit correctly remembered also the names of each of our 14-strong group while answering our questions. That was, without doubt, a testament to her phenomenal memory, which was evident of course in the manner in which she was able to carry off the amazing theatrical performance with confidence and aplomb, from start to finish.
In summary, this tour will interest anyone interested in American literature and the life and works of the legendary Mark Twain. This excellent tour should be mandatory for the confirmed Twainiac and/or the committed bibliophile.

Recently we took two of our granddaughters to visit the Mark Twain House. They were visiting from out of state. My husband and I have been here numerous times in the past, but not since Covid. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and did a very good job pointing out various areas or issues that might interest the girls. They really enjoyed that! It was a small group which always makes the tour more manageable. I must say that every time I have taken the tour, I learn something new! After the tour we watched the Ken Burns video. As usual with any of his work, it was excellent and gave even more information about Mark Twain!
P.S. I can’t remember the name of our tour guide, but he was young and wore glasses.

What a rip off! Only allowed to visit with a tour. Not only tours cost either $27 or $30 per person but also had to wait for over an hour!
You can see same online for free!

We took the Living History tour and had Rev. Twichell (Josh) .. I hope I’m remembering right. (We have taken a lot of tours this trip). He was fabulous.. truly did such a great job, takes you with him on the story and history of Mark Twain and the house. We loved this house/tour. He stayed after, out of character, to answer any questions. There’s NO photos of the inside of the house so just enjoy it. The museum was really nice too & the short video. The home is stunning.. beautiful art with & woodwork. Although it’s dark in colors it’s not gaudy. Lots to look at and see. Allow at least 2 hours ..

The home is stunning with its mix of cultural decor. Many of the items in the home are original to the home. There are family photos throughout as well, reminding visitors that this was a family home. We did the guided tour where our guide was a “family friend” and provided interesting information about the family, author, social climate or Hartford, and anecdotes from the perspective of the time. Very enjoyable!

We were very fortunate to join a tour conducted by an actor dressed in period attire speaking in the style of the era. She was a young lady named Olivia, 17 years old and almost a lookalike of Susan Olivia Clemens, the eldest daughter of Mark Twain. She asked all of us our names and then took us through an hour long tour of the house and related to us the story of her life growing up with her Papa, Mama and two younger sisters. We were mesmerized as if travelling back almost 150 years in time visiting Mark Twain and his family. Just for fun, I told her that I was a friend and fan of her Papa. I related to her some of the anecdotes I knew about Mark Twain. It was a fun visit. I have never had such a surreal visit to the home of a famous personality from more than a century ago. The feelings and emotion are still fresh in my mind.
Thanks to Olivia (in the role of Susan Olivia Clemens) for hosting our visit and sharing the story of your family - especially your Papa Mark Twain. Thanks also for your calligraphed note!<3

The Mark Twain House in Hartford is a fascinating place to visit, with unique architecture and hand-stenciled wall designs. We thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, but discouraged questions, which was too bad. Photos are not allowed to be taken inside the house itself. The entrance fee is kind of pricey, but there are a few discounts available. There is a cafe at the museum, but we didn’t eat there.

I can only tour the first floor due to not being able to climb stairs, while my husband can tour the whole house...is it OK that I stay only to the first floor on the tour and then go into the gift shop?
Skrevet 5. oktober 2020
The staff at the House Museum are very accommodating. I am sure that they will work out a plan for you. The main florr is the best area of the house to visit

Are you able to check luggage (we will be coming by Lift on our way to the airport).
Skrevet 30. november 2019
Unfortunately they do not have a space for checking luggage. However, if you ask at the information desk they may allow you to temporarily store your luggage there while you enjoy the house and museum.
Skrevet 1. desember 2019
As it is a restored museum, I don't know how much they would actually decorate without compromising the integrity of the home furnishings. Best to check on the website or call them directly; they may have special viewings or presentations in accord with the festive occasion without using decorations. it's a beautiful place to visit in any season.

Has anyone visited the Nook Cafe? What types of food? Is it good? Is it affordable?
Skrevet 20. september 2019
We ate our lunch there. We had wraps and salad, and while simple, they were delicious. A local caterer provides the food. It's a relaxing spot to eat, too.
