Additional Information

Experience the top-rated Alexander Hamilton tour in town, guided by a renowned historian who has dedicated their entire life to studying and understanding Hamilton. There’s a lot more about this magnificent American figure than what the Broadway show perceives. We’ll offer an interesting and enjoyable completion of this picture. Expect moments of laughter from surprising facts (did you know George Washington was fondly named ‘Old Muttonhead’ by Aaron Burr?) and puzzling instances regarding curious artefacts (the whereabouts of peculiar memorabilia like Washington’s wooden dentures, Gouverneur Morris’s wooden leg, etc.). Above all, we promise to engage you intellectually and make you reconsider new aspects: Was Alexander Hamilton a Protagonist or an Antagonist? What would have happened if he outlived his duel with Burr? Could he have ascended to the presidency of the United States? Moreover, if so, how would Hamilton’s presidency have altered America’s trajectory in history?

Location
Wall St
The tour begins at the front door of Trinity Church at the corner of Wall Street and Broadway. It's a historic landmark with a big Gothic steeple so you can't miss it. Go to the guy or gal with the sign that says "Hamilton Tour" and show your tour entry ticket (either paper or digital).
