Best Alexander Hamilton tour in the city, from a published historian who has spent a lifetime reading and learning about Hamilton. There's so much more to this great American than the depiction presented by the Broadway show. We'll fill in the rest of the picture for you in a fun and entertaining way. We'll make you laugh with zingers (did you know Aaron Burr's nickname for George Washington was "Old Muttonhead"?) and scratch your head mulling over oddities (the location of weird relics like Washington's wooden teeth, Gouverneur Morris's peg leg, etc.). But most of all we'll give you food for thought and make you ponder new questions: Was Alexander Hamilton a Hero or a Villain? What if he had survived his duel with Burr? Would he have become President of the United States? And if he did, how would a Hamilton presidency have changed the course of American history?

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the tour? I’m thinking of gifting this to my 12-year-old son.

A: There's no official age limit for the Hamilton walking tour. It's pretty family-friendly, but younger kids might not grasp all the historical nuances. I'd say your 12-year-old should enjoy it! Just make sure he can handle walking around NYC for a couple of hours.

Q: How long does the tour usually last? I want to plan my day around it.

A: The duration can vary, but expect around 2 to 3 hours. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes since you'll be walking a good bit. Also, Daniel often tailors the tour based on the group’s interest, so it might go longer if everyone is engaged!

Q: What’s the best way to get to the starting point? Any parking tips?

A: Public transport is your best bet! Take the subway to the nearest stop; parking can be a nightmare in NYC. If you must drive, check for garages nearby, but expect to pay a pretty penny. Arrive early to avoid missing any of the good stuff!

Just did the Hamilton walking tour and it was AMAZING!

I just got back from the Alexander Hamilton tour led by Daniel, and I can't stop thinking about it! He’s so passionate and funny. I loved learning about all the hidden facts, like the weird stuff about Washington's teeth and Burr's shady past. My favorite part was when Daniel shared what might have happened if Hamilton had won the duel. Seriously, it’s a must-do for history buffs!

Thinking of gifting this tour—thoughts?

I’m considering getting the Hamilton walking tour as a gift for my history-loving boyfriend. He’s been obsessed since the Broadway show, but I’m worried it might just be rehashing the same info. What do you all think? Has anyone done it? Is it worth the money?
