Fun and educational
Jacquelyn_S, Apr 2022
Our tour guide was remarkable! He really embodied the part of Hamilton. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone that is a fan of the musical!
Best NYC Tour I’ve Taken!
Kimberly_M, Oct 2021
Huzzah! One of the best tours I’ve been on in NYC and I’ve taken numerous tours of the city over the years. The guide, in re-enacting Alexander Hamilton, took such thoughtful care in taking his audience on a travel back in time. It was clear that he wanted his “guests” to be both entertained and informed. If you are choosing NYC tours, this will be your best choice!
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Thank you for such high praise. Yes, I get a sense of fulfillment from helping people to understand more about our great country.
Lots of Information!
Joan_R, Aug 2021
Our "Hamilton" was excellent and shared a lot of information about the man and his life and the politics of the time and what it was like, generally, for folks that lived in NYC in Alexander Hamilton's day. We had a mix of ages in our group and he engaged us all. Fun times!
Response from Host, Mar 2022

Great tour. Informative and fun. It was all adults on my tour, but I will book again and bring nephews who are studying American history in school.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Thank you. I believe that learning should be fun. I look forward to another fun and informative tour with your nephews.
This tour was amazing, and the best...
Joseph M, Jul 2018
This tour was amazing, and the best part is that it is given by an actor playing Alexander Hamilton. His depth of knowledge was admirable. He answered all my questions as I felt like I was talking to a Founding Father. He explained how New York played a key role in the creation of America and how Hamilton influenced New York and America. We visited about 20 places which cover almost every scene in the musical. The wireless headsets were a great bonus as I could control the volume and not miss a word. I did not realize how important a headset was but NYC is loud, my hearing is not what it used to be. I would highly recommend this tour to history buffs, like myself, or for families who would get a kick out of meeting Alexander Hamilton. If you see the musical you should take this tour to complete the Hamilton experience. I even got to keep the headset as a gift.
Response from Host, Mar 2022
Thank you for the detailed recommendation. The headsets are the essential way to hear all the wisdom of Hamilton.
