Informative and enjoyable - My husband and I did the tour with Mickey as our guide. She was extremely informative and friendly. She told us several things that we were not aware of before. She was very patient while we took pictures. I highly recommend the tour and Mickey.

So cool!!! - We had such a wonderful time on our tour! Mickey (our guide) was so kind and knowledgeable! She really made it such an amazing experience for us. It was well paced (not too fast which was great). It was great to see all of the sights! The only thing that was disappointing was that the church and cemetery were closed so we weren’t able to go in (however this was out of our guides control, not anyone’s fault). I do wish we could have gone into some of the places but overall it was great and I recommend!

Right On The Mark - On our first day in NYC, we did the Hamilton Tour, with Mickey as our guide. It was perfect. Mickey was friendly, energetic, and of course knowledgeable. Our 13 yo granddaughter, a huge fan of the Hamilton musical, was supremely satisfied. All good .

Amazing - We loved this tour! We learned so much! Astrid was amazing! She is very friendly and knows a lot about Hamilton's history and all the Financial District. Taking the tour before the musical was important to understand some points that are not so clear in the musical. This tour was one of the highlights of New York.

Incredible Tour - This tour is incredible! Astrid was so knowledgeable about the development of New York, the American Revolution, and the life Alexander Hamilton. My dad, who accompanied me, is a huge history buff and really loved Astrid's presentation of the facts and I loved getting to learn more about the city I call home!

My new favorite activity in New York. - I loved this tour! Mickey was so informative about the places Alexander Hamilton would have been in New York and historical information about the buildings in the area, the actual "room where it happened," and placements of events that I had heard of, but had no visual connection to until this tour. I've visited New York 4 or 5 other times and this was by far my favorite tour. I loved Mickey's style and delivery and I appreciated seeing another facet of New York that was previously unknown to me.

Astrid a real pro — you will learn a lot! - Stone Street, Federal Reserve Bank, site of Jefferson’s house. Astrid, or “Ace”, was a great guide. Knowledgeable, well-spoken, gave us sit breaks and places where there was AC. Personable. Witty. The whole 2 hours was packed with information and conversation.
