Founding Fathers in the Financial District - We were fortunate to have Dan for this tour where he provided a well summarized account of the founding fathers and key milestones in this section of the city going back to the late 1700s. He combined modern day facts about the financial district along with many of the stories surrounding the establishment of federal departments. The walk through Federal Hall was very informative, and Dan had deep knowledge about the many displays. We scheduled this tour in the morning before we saw Hamilton that night. Dan separated Hamilton fact from fiction so we were aware what was actual history vs. entertainment. Highly recommend this private tour!

George was great! We got... - George was great! We got to see all the highlights of Hamilton’s time in NY, with the final stop of his resting place at Trinity Church. We learned so much about NYC during that time. Would definitely recommend this tour if you want to know all about Hamilton.

A New York Slice......of History - Kevin Draper of New York Historical Tours provided an incredibly informative and interesting tour (Alexander Hamilton & The Founding Fathers Tour) in the Financial District. Kevin was so engaging and knowledgeable. His narration was just excellent, so much that even someone who isn't a history buff would come away a convert! A great way to see and hear about the incredible history that lies in our presence, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Kevin

Kevin is the best!!! - Kevin was amazing! I had my kids with me (8, 12, 20). It was windy and cold and he would accommodate my littlest when she would just say “i’m cold” we would do lot of the talking and story telling indoors and went outside to show us the what he was talking about. He helped take family pictures. Had a lot of good historical tidbits that even peeked the interest of my little ones. Super friendly! Will definitely recommend Kevin to everyone!!!

Go to the room where it happened - What else can I say? Kevin is the best at what he does. His love of the city was evident as he walked us around lower Manhattan. I really believe Kevin had to hold back because the tour was only two hours and there was not enough time to share all of his knowledge. For our tour, Kevin adjusted the time and start point to accommodate our schedule. Kevin provided stories and history and kept us captivated for 120 minutes. It was really too short of a time as it flew bye. I am already planning my next trip to NYC and will be sure to use Kevin again. `

Check Federal Hall availability before you go - Federal Hall was closed We were shortchanged. Guide provided excellent information but not going to Federal Hall was really dissatisfying
