Great experience with friends - My friend is obsessed with the Hamilton musical and on his recent visit to NYC asked to go on this tour. I was nervous since it was a particularly cold day and we had a member of our party who needs pretty frequent breaks while walking. Not only was Mickey a great guide (funny, knowledgable, and personable) she made sure to stop in sunny spots to combat the cold and where there were benches so that we could rest during the two hour tour without even being asked. Highly recommended!

Hamilton - Lower Manhattan Tour - Sam did a wonderful job giving our group a sense of how Manhattan started in the area close to Battery Park and Bowling Green. We got a great deal of insight into how Hamilton, Washington, Jefferson and Burr were part of the Lower Manhattan scene during the various periods surrounding the American Revolutionary and post war period while also getting some insights into architectural changes that can be seen in many of the city’s “skyscrapers” which are located in this part of the city. It was also fascinating to understand why the the streets in this part of the city are patterned in Dutch fashion - much like Amsterdam, and then the more familiar “grid” system of streets begins to take place as you go northbound up the island - which was done as the British took over. Overall - great experience - especially if you’re interested in learning a little bit of the history of the city.
