    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.

    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!

    Reid is very knowledgeable on Hamilton history and the early American history. He made the whole walk very relevant and well-paced. MY daughter, a major Hamilton buff told me that she learned quite a few things from the tour. She also enjoyed singing with Reid although I have no idea how the two of them could memorize all the lyrics.

    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!

    We had a great time! Reid was a wealth of knowledge. His stories were fun and full of brain tingling facts. He took the preteen seeming to be disinterested in stride—- both loved it and learned so much sharing it with us the whole drive home! Thank you!
