We did the Hamilton and Burr tour of the city,it was amazing! Karen was so very knowledgeable and my kids (10 and 6) loved it. Karen had background knowledge and provided us with the best tour of that era we have EVER had! I would recommend this to anyone.

Very informative. Karen is an extremely knowledgable guide and corrects many of the falsehoods about Hamilton and Burr that are widely known to the public. IT has a good pace, but 3 hours, vice 2.5 may be more appropriate. An excellent segway to anyone going to see the play HAMILTON, in the future.
