Reid is very knowledgeable on Hamilton history and the early American history. He made the whole walk very relevant and well-paced. MY daughter, a major Hamilton buff told me that she learned quite a few things from the tour. She also enjoyed singing with Reid although I have no idea how the two of them could memorize all the lyrics.

I'm so glad you both enjoyed the tour with me. And I'm glad your daughter sang along as it makes the tour more fun that way. The way to learn the lyrics is practice, practice, practice.

Reid was fantastic! He is very knowledgeable and energetic. He was also patient and responsive to my 10 year old’s questions, often engaging him in the narrative. Singing Hamilton songs on the streets of Philadelphia is great fun! If there was shade available, Reid found it, which was much appreciated. This tour was equally educational and entertaining. My younger daughter was not the target audience, but Reid’s songs had her dancing when possible and he kept the story moving despite her fidgeting. I’d say 9ish is about the youngest that’s good for this tour, unless the child is very into Hamilton and the history of the American Revolution, but the guide was very accommodating in any event. It is 2.5 hours with no bathroom breaks. There are frequent stops, sometimes with benches, if available, but it is good advice to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water. Highly recommend!

Thank you so very much for the wonderful comments! Kids are tricky and I do try to limit my tours to children 10 and up, but both of yours were wonderful. Your son's singing and daughter's dancing made my day!

We had a great time! Reid was a wealth of knowledge. His stories were fun and full of brain tingling facts. He took the preteen seeming to be disinterested in stride—- both loved it and learned so much sharing it with us the whole drive home! Thank you!

I'm so glad everyone enjoyed the tours. Kids are a tough audience, so I'm glad they had a good time too.
