Description
Step Onto the Streets Where History Happened!
Get ready to experience eighteenth-century New York City in a way you never have before. This isn’t a typical walking tour—it’s an exciting, story-packed adventure led by a passionate historian and licensed New York City guide with more than twenty-five years of expertise. You’ll walk the same streets as George Washington and Alexander Hamilton as New York transforms around you from a colonial port to the first capital of the United States.
Follow the Rise of Two Founding Giants
As you explore Lower Manhattan, you’ll plunge into dramatic moments that shaped America—fierce protests against British rule, a critical Revolutionary War battle, and the political birth of a new nation. Discover how Washington and Hamilton forged one of history’s most influential partnerships, steering the country toward stability, strength, and a bold new financial future.
History Comes Alive Through Electrifying Stories & Visuals
Your guide brings the era to life with gripping stories and vivid period images. Stand at the historic park where colonists tore down a statue of King George III. Trace the devastating loss of the Battle of Brooklyn and its dramatic and remarkable aftermath. Experience the city where a young Hamilton, hungry and ambitious, found his purpose. Feel the power of Washington’s tearful farewell to his officers at Fraunces Tavern, then see his statue on the site where he was inaugurated as the first president.
Discover the Hidden Heroes
This isn’t just a tour about famous Founders. You’ll also uncover the exceptional—and often overlooked—contributions of women, African Americans, and everyday New Yorkers whose courage and resilience shaped the nation’s early identity.
Walk Through Epic Turning Points
You’ll visit unforgettable locations tied to:
• The first U.S. Congress
• Hamilton’s groundbreaking financial system
• The explosive Hamilton and Burr rivalry
• The final resting place of Alexander Hamilton and Eliza Schuyler Hamilton
