Additional Information

Embark on a guided journey through the ascension and ultimate downfall of New York’s most eminent Founding Father, Hamilton. This expedition is tailored for individuals who have experienced or intend to see the Broadway show that clinched 11 Tony Awards, or those who simply can’t get enough of the cast album. The tour contextualizes the songs, history, and geographies of lower Manhattan. Each song is associated with its real-life location, incorporating additional points of interest that further depict the era and localities where Alexander Hamilton resided and met his end. Each attendee will be provided with a Personal Listening Device to ensure every word and melody is heard, regardless of the city’s ambient noise.

  • Children must be accompanied by an adult
  • Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately
  • This tour “may” not be for children under the age of 9. There is a fair amount of historical information and stories, sometimes the younger children can become bored. However, you know your child best and this is more of a guideline than a rule.
  • I try to keep the harsher language out of the tour, but it is impossible to eliminate certain profanities and parents should be prepared for their children to hear this.
  • We do visit the gravesites
  • Tours are subject to cancellation when Wind Chill falls below 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
Location
Staten Island Ferry Terminal
The tour meets INSIDE the Staten Island Ferry Terminal (Manhattan) on the second floor. We will meet at the far end of the middle row of seats between Door #1 and Door #2. Your guide will be at the far end holding an iPad with a Hamilton Tour Logo on the screen.

Nerd out on Hamilton! - This tour was absolutely fabulous. Our guide had so many interesting facts and stories to tell us. You could tell he was really passionate about the Revolutionary War era, and our time together absolutely flew by! I definitely recommend this tour to anyone who loves learning about American history.

Great choice! - We had a great time! Loved having the music from the show to go along with what we were seeing. Chaz was a great guide and knew his stuff. Saw so much that we would have never seen had we have tried to do this on our own. Highly recommend!

5 Stars! - Our expectations were blown away! Chazz is extremely knowledgable about both the history of Manhattan and Hamilton. It was a wonderful balance of history and music as well as walking and talking. I did this tour with my 9 year old and my mom. We all got a lot out of it and were entertained the whole time. I highly recommend Chazz and this tour for any Hamilton fan or Revolutionary War history buff!

Great fun, loved the history and the inclusion of visual and musical aids. - Leo was exceptionally informative and really great with pertinent information. He was knowledgeable and well engaging. He shed some light on facts that we weren’t aware of and receptive to information that we had discovered in our own research such as September 11 attack occurring on same day as Hamilton was named secretary of Treasury, and that one of the reasons why John Adams disliked Hamilton was due to John Adams using the acoustics of the capital building to eavesdrop on conversations.

Excellent walking tour - If you are a fan of Hamilton and/or American history, this tour is a must-do while you're in NYC! The guide is uber knowledgeable and has scripted/choreographed a top-notch tour taking advantage of all of the local landmarks to make you feel like you're walking through history. My husband and I had no idea so much of our history took place in New York, and our daughter absorbed every new Hamilton tidbit our guide offered. Highly recommend!

Broadway and History, perfect combo! - Chazz was thought in explaining everything about the musical and the history, showing as many historical places (and where they stood) as possible. Without giving away the tour details, it’s hard to write much but it’s absolutely worth it for any Hamilton or History / NY history fan!
