This tour with Karen was the highlight of our trip. I worried that a tour would be a repeat of the basics that every Hamilton fan already knows. Not the case! Karen is a historian, and her passion and knowledge for the era had me leaning in for every story she would share. I learned so much!

Incredible. Our tour guide was so knowledgable about Hamilton and other historical facts in general. You could easily tell she loved her job. We went on the tour, then later in the evening saw Hamilton. One of the best days ever for my teenage daughter.
