Kevin Draper led our group in a 2 hour private walking tour; "Hamilton and the Founding Fathers. Kevin was an expert on the subject and knowledgably engaging in his storytelling. In fact, we could have spent all day with him and felt like we had completed a college course on this important time in our history. I've recommended him to everyone I know. We'll be back for more, the next time we travel to NYC. Debra Main, Gainesville FL

I took 2 private tours - one with Dan another with Kevin. Both were amazing. If you want more than a superficial narrative then these tours are the way to go. For sure if I come back to NY, Kevin would the first one for me to call. Contrary public bashing of NY, NY is a wonderful city.

This is a great tour for anyone who loves American history and the founding fathers. We booked it as a prelude to the "Hamilton" musical. We got much more out of it than expected. Our guide Billy is dynamic, engaging, joyful and knowledgeable. An intensive history lover himself, he gave a fun yet comprehensive lecture of American history around the independence war, with vivid stories and anecdotes. His personal interest in music and architecture also benefited us a lot while we strolled through the Wall Street and talked about building styles, jazz, the Hamilton musical, etc. He also read us some letters and articles with his baritone voice, completely in Shakespeare style. What a wonderful treat! My 17- and 18-year-old sons totally enjoyed this tour also. Thanks Billy! We'd love to come back for a sequel.
