    Fantastic
    If you like Hamilton the show or simply enjoy history this tour is fantastic. Reid is amazingly knowledgable about Hamilton and accompanies the tour with music from the production and singing. My wife and daughter absolutely loved it. You also get to hear the real stories of Hamilton and the timelines. Well worth the time to listen to Reid. Thank you.

    It was AWESOME
    It was awesome and we learned a TON of information. We did a lot of walking in historic Philly. The tour guide (Reid) clearly loved what he was doing and had great details that are hard to find in mainstream textbooks. If you like anything having to do with Alexander Hamilton this walking tour is for you.

    The Only Way to Learn about Hamilton
    Reid was an outstanding guide. His expertise and passion for Hamilton was perfect for my family. He shared so much information with us and helped us see the truth behind the musical. We appreciated hearing the music along the way and making connections to Hamilton's life, the musical and the city of Philadelphia. Thank you, Reid!

    So Much Fun to Sing Hamilton in Philly!
    Reid was fantastic! He is very knowledgeable and energetic. He was also patient and responsive to my 10 year old’s questions, often engaging him in the narrative. Singing Hamilton songs on the streets of Philadelphia is great fun! If there was shade available, Reid found it, which was much appreciated. This tour was equally educational and entertaining. My younger daughter was not the target audience, but Reid’s songs had her dancing when possible and he kept the story moving despite her fidgeting. I’d say 9ish is about the youngest that’s good for this tour, unless the child is very into Hamilton and the history of the American Revolution, but the guide was very accommodating in any event. It is 2.5 hours with no bathroom breaks. There are frequent stops, sometimes with benches, if available, but it is good advice to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring water. Highly recommend!

    Fabulous tour
    Reid was an excellent guide, very well researched and entertaining. We all really enjoyed the tour, especially the sing-a-longs and seeing significant aspects of Hamilton’s life. Reid was very patient answering all of our questions. Loved every minute!

    Colonial-Modern Architecture right before your eyes
    Reid, my guide, was booked through Airbnb. He met us at Ellfretz Alley - the oldest residential street in the 13 colonies - and ended at Society Hill with I M Pei housing development. I found him to be enthusiastic and knowledgeable, able to handle our diverse interests and walking speed. We went inside several landmark buildings but mostly kept moving so that we covered a lot of ground. This tour gave me a great appreciation of the changes on the ground in Philadelphia. 3 hours

Excellent historic tour. Reid knows his stuff on architecture and is highly recommended if you want to drill in on some of that. He is also a charming and entertaining host, the time with him flew by.
