5.00Learned so much more about Hamilton. Guide was amazing, so engaging and knowledgeable. Great way to also learn historic New York. As a New Yorker, you never know the history of where you walk daily.
Where to even begin?

5.00Alexander was, true to form, incredibly accommodating, exhaustive in his knowledge, and just a blast to be with for a couple of Hamil-nerds like we are. We learned so much and we're still discussing the experience, several months later. We received souvenirs and saw things we easily could have missed. My son's favorite part was helping Alex lead a cheer on Wall Street for President George Washington. Thank you again, so much!
Fabulous and personal tour of colonial New York City.

5.00We recently spent a Sunday morning in lower Manhattan with a very dapper and knowledgable, Alexander Hamilton ( Scott). He took us through Hamilton’s experiences as he lived, worked and fought in the revolutionary war era in New York City as it existed in Colonial times. His comments about the personalities of our founding fathers were very insightful and gave us a new perspective on the history of our country. We highly recommend this unique and personal tour, with a most considerate and informative guide!
So much fun!

5.00We had an absolutely fantastic time on the tour, led by Hamilton himself! It is a history buff's dream - highly detailed and engaging, with tons of interesting historical facts throughout. Our tour group was made up entirely of New Yorkers, all of who loved seeing their city in new ways. It is a lovey way to spend an afternoon - you won't regret it!
Excellent Birthday Tour!

5.00I was lucky enough to join this tour to celebrate a friends birthday on a beautiful day in November. We had an excellent time, and Mr. Hamilton was knowledgeable and fun. We were also super lucky to have young Alexander join us and his questions and enthusiasm added greatly to the overall experience. I would recommend for any Hamilton or history buffs out there!
Fantastic tour!

5.00We were back in time with Alexander Hamilton! It felt like a very intimate tour of New York and allowed us to gain an insight into the values that led to the creation of the United States of America (even as Europeans). It was amazing to see where the events of the musical happened, while learning many new facts and details about that part of history in a very exciting way. This tour was a true highlight of our three-day stay in New York and I highly recommend it to everyone!
