See What Previous Guests Had to Say
…I lost count of how many times I said “wow” during the tour — it’s one thing to read about history, but it’s quite another to stand on the spot where said history actually happened. I would highly recommend this tour to Hamilton fans, or anyone who loves Revolution-era history….
…I would encourage anyone interested in the man himself or the play to take the Hamilton and Founding Fathers tour. Although my wife and I had seen the play years ago and have read the Chernow biography, this tour gave us an appreciation for relevant locations and buildings we otherwise would have walked right past unknowingly, as well as better context for the events in Hamilton’s life…
