Karen Quinones was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable. I learned a lot about Hercules Mulligan and Aaron Burr. I have a greater understanding and more respect for both Burr and Mulligan.

This was the best tour i have ever been on. I love the way both Hamilton and Burr were great risk takers and were the wunderkinds of their generation. I thought the tour was well balanced. Mrs. “Q” is an expert story teller. If i had more time in ny i would have signed up for her architectural tour - philip from Dallas

Karen is so knowledgeable. You can't stump her with a question. She's fun, energetic, witty and full of details. We will book with Karen every single trip to New York. We highly recommend her tours.
