This tour was an excellent experience. Our guide - Bruce definently knew his subject! This is a hidden gem for history geeks, those who love NYC or anyone who wants to know more about Hamilton's background. I'm a history geek and was with my history teacher niece, we both came away learning so much more than we knew before. This is a must do when in NYC.
