All about Hamilton - Erik was our guide on the tour of Hamilton's life in NYC. He was friendly and knowledgeable and answered extra questions were had along the way.
We did this tour in the early afternoon before going to see the Broadway Hamilton play in the evening, and we're very glad we did. It helped us catch a lot of the references glanced on during the songs and let our 9 year old have an easier time following along with everything.

Historical figure comes to life in this tour - The Alexander Hamilton tour was very informative highlighting his contributions in history regarding the development of the financial institutions today. Our guide Ace was extremely knowledgeable about the life of Alexander Hamilton and the impact he had on the will of New York and the rest of the developing new world. We look forward to learning more of his history. This tour was very unique as we walked through time! Would highly recommend to those who enjoy architecture and history.

Ace Cook showed us sights... - Ace Cook showed us sights that we would not have found ourselves such as a plaque where Thomas Jefferson lived across from the Federal Reserve. She described a realistic historical conversation that Jefferson would have had with Hamilton after inviting Hamilton to his home across the street. Ace's engaging presentation made us want to return to some of the stops to learn more and explore the historical connections, and we did. My husband and I were in a small group so we heard every word. It was time well spent.

Interesting, Fun, Great Guide! - Excellent tour! It was well structured, remarkably interesting, and fun. My husband and I are familiar with that area of the city and had read Chernow's biography of Hamilton.
Mickey, the guide, gave us a great tour that added so much to our understanding of the context, area, and life of Hamilton and his key contemporaries. She was able to answer our questions and enhance the tour on the fly. We recommend the Hamilton tour and this guide, Mickey, to any group. As a guide, she showed mastery of the subject and the ability to adjust her presentation to her audience. Truly a great tour.

Alexander Hamilton - Jesse was out guide and she was fantastic! She had a great grasp of Hamilton’s History and and the musical and did a fantastic job of cross referencing the musical as she brought these sites to life in the financial district of NYC. It was fascinating to see the sites that were present in the late 1700s and where they have been built over, she did a great job of showing us what they would have looked like then. Highly recommend!

We live in NYC and walked these blocks many times, yet discovered new history on the Hamilton Tour! - Really insightful to learn about places key to Hamilton's life which the blind eye would miss as the buildings have been replaced. Mickey was well informed, linked history, the musical and the landmarks seamlessly. The pace of the tour was great. My 12 year old daughter was engaged throughout. Highly recommend!
