This is an extensively researched tour given by a professional historian that should not be missed on a visit to New York. The tour is both educative and enlightening in that it contextualizes Oppenheimer & Co. as part of the broader revolutions in thought occuring in both place and time. The tour leader is highly entrepeneurial and a pleasure to spend an afternoon with.

Tour started on time, directions for the meeting place were clear and simple. Content-wise I thought this was very well crafted. Many interweaving connections into Oppenheimer's life and the people and ideas that influenced him that I never heard or read before. Very informative and the guide was knowledgeable. A few stops took me by surprise, and all of them are very close to each other, so there is little idle walking time or long treks. This was my first Purefinder tour and I now plan on seeing the other tours they have to offer.

I think by this point I have attended every Purefinder tour. All have been exceptional, including Oppenheimer, the most recent. Fascinating insights into the man and the people and places that made him what he became. The tour was well-researched, beautifully constructed, and made even better by Krombie’s clear and enthusiastic presentation. Like every other Purefinder tour, it is totally unique and a joy to experience.
