Our guide was fantastic. She was engaging and I loved the little tidbits of throwback she gave to the musical. We learned a lot of history and I loved her appreciation of the founding fathers. The kids learned something too! Oh! She was funny, as well.

Our walking Hamilton Tour was a true delight. We've visited NYC for more than a decade and wished we'd taken this tour from the beginning. You gain so much historical information about NYC and the USA it's wonderfully overwhelming. Thanks for a great experience!
