The guide was knowledgeable, imparting interesting information and stories of the times. Still, for those seeking an Alexander Hamilton/Aaron Burr focus, as advertised, the tour is fairly generalized.

Karen, our guide, was fabulous. The entire tour was so interesting. The time went by too fast. I think there would be enough information for a Part 2 of this subject in the areas of NYC. I had done much reading but never knew where the actual sights of where much of our history of these two famous people occurred. I would highly recommend any one who likes history to take this tour.

Outstanding! Anyone with an interest in Hamilton and early American history will really enjoy this tour. Karen, our guide, was great! She had a fund of stories and anecdotes at each of the locations we walked to - all based on careful research. Whole tour takes about 2.5 hrs and is an easy walk. Well worth it, thanks to Karen!
