Hamilton with the best

juliamA5184AE, 14-12-2022

Thanks Hannah for one of the best tours we’ve ever been on. A really good mix of history and musical, couldn’t have asked for a better guide to all things Hamilton. Thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn more about this fascinating founding father.

Hannah provided a tremendous amount of interesting information about Alexander Hamilton and the Wall Street area in general. It was a very enjoyable tour.

Really great tour and tour guide

CateG23, 11-12-2022

Our guide, Erik, was so knowledgeable about Hamilton and his contemporaries, plus the area in general, with everything explained in a very interesting and digestible way, and lots of references to the Broadway show which we could all relate to. We thoroughly enjoyed this 2 hour tour. Book in at the Frances Tavern for an early dinner straight after and soak up the full ambiance.

Hamilton lives on!

Hannah did a great job of bringing the life of Alexander Hamilton to life by showing his experiences in the financial district. Thanks!

A great way to learn about Hamilton's time in lower Manhattan

dhohman12, 28-11-2022

Our family of 5 really enjoyed the Alexander Hamilton in Lower Manhattan tour. Our guide, Jessie, was great -- very knowledgeable on all aspects of Hamilton's history in Manhattan and was able to connect that history with specific scenes from the Broadway play in a fun and informative way. A number of the historical sites we visited we would not have otherwise stumbled upon but for the tour. The tour was small - our total group was 8 people plus the guide. The tour started and ended on-time and involved a fair amount of walking, but at a leisurely, comfortable pace. A great way to learn about Hamilton's time in lower Manhattan and see numerous historical sites up close and personal.
